Understand and describe the anatomy and physiology of the cell, tissues, skeletal, muscular, nervous and integumentary system. Define and describe mechanisms involved in homeostatic regulation of the body. Develop basic dissection techniques relevant to the field of anatomy. Develop basic laboratory techniques relevant to the field of physiology.
Topics include basic anatomical and directional terminology; fundamental concepts and principles of cell physiology; histology; the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems; and the general and special senses. Course activities include lectures and laboratory sessions.
Locate, evaluate, and use information in a variety of formats and organize, analyze, evaluate, treat critically and present that information in a cohesive and logical fashion. Acquire important knowledge and information for life-long learning. Learn experimental techniques and laboratory skills such as microscopy and dissection.
Understand, identify, and describe the basic anatomical structures associated with each organ listed above. Understand and describe development, metabolism, electrolyte and acid-base balance as they relate to the human body. Develop basic dissection techniques relevant to the field of anatomy.
Introduction to human anatomy and general physiological principles with emphasis on the following: cell and tissue organization, plus skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems.
Topics include the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, endocrine, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Students also improve their understanding of cell physiology, which underlies the function of each of these organ systems.
This course covers basic human anatomy and physiological principles focusing on the cellular and tissue levels and their integration into the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 1306 or 35 or better on the Biology Readiness test.
Define anatomy and physiology, explain the importance of the relationship between structure and function and be able to describe and identify directional terms, anatomical positions, and anatomical structures. Explain the nature of a human cell.
Starting with the relationship between anatomy and physiology, you will then learn about cell structure and their processes. Discover the functions and purposes of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular systems as well as diseases that affect those systems.
Course Description: Human Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two-course series that covers the structure(s) and function(s) of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems.
