A. Course
Description:
Prerequisites: (ENC 0020 and REA 0002 and MAT 0024) or (EAP
1695 and MAT 0024). Corequisite: BSC 1085L.
This course is a study of the general and specific structural anatomy and
physiology of the human, including the requisite principles of chemistry that
influence homeostasis. The systems approach is used incorporating chemical
functions with human structure, from the cell to the entire organism. Each
system is presented in sufficient depth to provide a comprehensive
understanding of systems for students in the life and health sciences. The
systems covered include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous. 47
contact hours.
B. Major
Learning Outcomes:
1. The
student will develop an understanding of the interrelationships of the
structure of the human body and the specific functions of its cells, tissues,
organs, and organ systems.
2. The
student will develop knowledge of the basic principles of chemistry with the
normal maintenance of homeostasis, and will acquire understanding of
malfunction of homeostatic mechanisms to evidence of stress and/or disorders in
the human body.
