Anat Physiology Description

Human Structure and Function I - Human Anatomy and Physiology. This laboratory course is recommended

for those contemplating a career in the health professions and emphasizes the structure and function of the

human body. Microscopic and gross anatomy are correlated with physiology. Writing assignments, as

appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.

Lab Hours: 3

Contact Hours: 6

Prerequisites and Compliance Criteria:

A grade of "C" or better in Biology 121 (Cell Biology).

Course Objectives:

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the anatomy and physiology of the primary tissue

types (epithelial, muscular, neural, and connective tissues), and the integumentary, muscular, skeletal, and

nervous systems. Laboratory activities that facilitate the study of the anatomy and physiology relevant

to these topics may involve microscopy, the use of plastic and/or digital 3D anatomic models,

dissections, and real and/or simulated experiments in physiology.

This course is a prerequisite for students pursuing various Allied Health programs, such as nursing,

radiography, and occupational therapy assistant. This course may transfer as an elective to a 4-year

institution.
