BIOL 2201 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I
4 Credits
Introduces students to the anatomy and physiology of the human body with special emphasis on the relationship between structure and function and homeostatic mechanisms of the body. Systems and topics covered include anatomical terminology, histology, integumentary system, skeletal system, articulations, muscular system, nervous system, special senses, and endocrine systems. Lab component will hands-on experience with tissue specimens, as well as dissections of organs and a representative mammal This course meets Human Anatomy and Physiology Society learning outcomes and aligns with content for common healthcare admissions exams.
