Hello guys!

I can take either a full year of anatomy (micro/macro) or physiology course as my elective during my undergrad. So I am just wondering which one is "more" helpful for dental school since I can only take one of them. Thanks! 🙂
 
Anatomy.

There are lots of big words based on Latin that will literally seem foreign if you've never seen them before. Flexor carpi ulnaris. Sartorius. Ductus venosus. Try to get a good handle on the vocab and you'll be less lost when you get to Pathology later. Physiology is all concepts... in English.
 
i would find a way to take both, even if you don't need both to graduate. you'll definitely be glad you did when you get to dental school.
