Description
Non-lab survey course that addresses all of the systems in the human body. Provides a general overview of the structure (anatomy), organization and functions (physiology) of the human body and will investigate the range of human organization from molecules to cells to organs to organ systems to the organism as a whole. [NS] Prerequisite: Appropriate placement score of grade C or higher in ENGL 087; or permission of the Science Division Chair or designee. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Recognize and explain the interrelationship between anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) as it relates to the different systems of the human body
Explain the concept of homeostasis and discuss how the different systems of the body interact in order to maintain homeostasis; including the impact of homeostatic imbalances
Describe the events that occur to various body systems as a part of development from fertilization through old age and how those events are shaped by chromosomal inheritance
Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions.
