BIO 168 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I

AA Approved

Prerequisites:
Background in either a high school level or introductory college level biology course and a high school level chemistry course are strongly recommended
STANDARD CREDIT TYPE
4 credit(s)

The first of a two-semester sequence providing a comprehensive study of the structure and function of the human body for college transfer and/or allied health programs. Topics include, but are not limited to, body organization, homeostasis, cells, tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, and nervous system. Laboratory component includes anatomical studies using microscopy and dissection as well as the study of physiological concepts via experimentation.

Course Learning Outcomes
1. Utilize anatomical terminology to describe the basic organization and orientation of the human body and the organ systems in it.

2. Demonstrate the molecular, cytological, and histological basis of structure and function that makes homeostasis possible.

3. Identify and explain the structures and functions of various components of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and other systems.

4. Apply anatomical and physiological concepts to microscopy, dissection, and experimentation.
