215: Functional Human Anatomy.
Goal: To introduce the student to gross and microscopic anatomy and physiology. To encourage the student to think synthetically about the interrelationships among form, function, development, and evolution of the human body.
Content: A study of the structure and function of the major anatomical systems, including musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive. The emphases of the course are on relating structure to function, relating gross and microscopic anatomy, developing 3-dimensional visualization skills, and becoming comfortable with the terminology of human anatomy and physiology. Taken together with BIO 103 Human Biology, this course fulfills the content of a two-semester sequence in Human Anatomy and Physiology at the introductory to intermediate level. Taken together with BIO 340 Physiology, this course fulfills the content of a two semester sequence in Human Anatomy and Physiology at the
