HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I

Catalog description

A course primarily for pre-Nursing majors; any other student should register for the BIOL 3406-3407 series. This is the first of a two-part anatomy and physiology course sequence, designed for students who wish to gain an understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Specifically, we will focus on the scientific method, organization of the body and anatomical language, homeostasis, cell and tissue function, the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the nervous system. It is important to recognize that the human body functions due to an elaborate coordination within and between cells, tissues and organs. The ultimate goal of this course is to provide students a foundation for learning about the anatomy of the organ systems and discover how the systems interact to provide human body function. Prerequisite: Declared Pre-Nursing student or permission of the Biology department chair. [ACTS: BIOL2404]
