Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology
A one semester survey of anatomy and physiology of the human body. The course provides foundation in basic biology with emphasis on anatomy and physiology of selected systems, and homeostasis. Body systems studied include integumentary, cardiovascular, skeletal, muscular, nervous and respiratory. Laboratory study includes microscopy, model study, organ dissection, and exercises designed to illustrate normal form and function. This course is primarily for students interested in physical education studies, fitness and recreation management, and students that may need a four-credit science course for transfer.
