BIOL& 241 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I

6 CR

Introduces the structure and function of tissues, organs, and systems of the human body. Both BIOL& 241 and BIOL 242 are needed for a complete study of the anatomy and physiology of all human systems.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 160 or BIOL 211 with a C or better.

Course Outcomes

Identify the components of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems and describe their location in anatomical terms.
Recognize and describe the relationship between the anatomical structure of an organ and how it correlates to its function.
Observe and describe differences in tissue types to predict their role in the normal structure and functioning of an organ.
Explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems, and how an inability to maintain homeostasis can lead to disease.
Use appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology.
