Human Anatomy
BIOL-40366
The course is intended to develop a knowledge of fundamental principles of body structure at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system level of organization. The interrelations among organ systems are all clearly discussed with their relationship to the physiological mechanism. Essential aspects of anatomy are presented clearly and reinforced with clear illustrations.
Upon course completion, students will
- Demonstrate knowledge of science as a process, including the scientific method and hypothesis testing, and the importance of observation.
- Identify major organs, systems and body regions on diagrams, charts, models or dissection illustrations, and describe their location, structure and function.
- Explain the general physiological processes of the body, particularly as they apply to homeostasis, adaptation and feedback processes
- Explain major pathological problems and health principles related to the systems studied
- Describe the physiology of cells and cell membranes including membrane transport processes., function of skin, epithelial membranes and connective tissue.
- Describe the process of bone & muscle formation, growth and physiological functions.
- Describe mechanisms of signal transduction by the central & peripheral nervous systems include the synaptic transmission.
- Explain how the special senses operate.
- Organ systems (integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory digestive, urinary, reproductive), and their functional relation to each other.
