BIOL 201 - Anatomy and Physiology I

4.00 credit hours

Anatomy and Physiology is about how the body maintains life. Anatomy looks at the structure and organization of body parts; physiology explains their functions. Integration of structure and function allows understanding of what systems do and how. Beginning with cells, which group into tissues and organs, organ systems are formed when organs work together to maintain stable internal conditions. This course examines the integumentary, skeletal, muscle and nervous systems, along with the general & special senses. Laboratory participation is required. Laboratory activitiesreinforce course concepts throughhands-on work with histology, human skeletons, dissections, models, and virtual anatomy tools.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 104 or BIOL 108 recommended.
