BI 231 - Human Anatomy and Physiology 14 Credit(s)
Foundational first course in anatomy/physiology. Topics include human body organization, histology and the integumentary, skeletal, articular, and muscular body systems; nervous system fundamentals and autonomic nervous system. Common clinical applications associated with these topics are presented. May be offered online. Lab included.
Prerequisite: Grade of C- or better in BI 112 and CH 112 . Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology.
- Recognize the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, articular body systems and the autonomic nervous system.
- Recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body.
- Utilize anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and apply knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures.
- Demonstrate laboratory procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of the organ system covered including histology, bone marking identification, gross musculature, neural anatomy and membrane physiology.
- Utilize microscopes to identify specific tissues and structures in histology.
- Interpret anatomical and physiological data and graphs regarding homeostasis, muscle and neural physiology.
- Approach and examine issues related to the integument system, skeletal, muscle and neural physiology and autonomic nervous system from an evidence based perspective.
- Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of cell biology, chemistry and anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances.
