Anatomy and Physiology I

Catalog description

This is the first part of a two-semester sequence on Human Anatomy and Physiology. Body structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems will be studied. The topics will be taught through lectures, class discussions, and laboratory sessions that include microscopy, virtual dissections and simulations of physiology experiments. Students will acquire an in depth knowledge of the relationship between structure and function, while developing the observational skills and logical thought patterns as a basis for application in future science courses and also in clinical real-life situations. Six hours of laboratory/lecture time per week. The pre-requisites of BIO 122 or BIO 123; and CHM 103 and CHM 101; 4 credits. Pre requisites: BIO122 or BIO123 and CHM101 or CHM103
