Course Info for BIO228 - Anat-Phys I

This course is the first of a two-semester, comprehensive survey of the ten organ systems of the human body, integrating chemical bases of the physiology of each system with structure and function.  Includes a study of cells and tissues, integumentary, skeletal, digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems.  The laboratory section of the course includes mammalian dissection and direct observation, by experiment, of the natural laws governing human physiological processes.

PREREQUISITE:

Successful completion of BIO 101 or acceptance into CCC Nursing Program or Permission of Instructor.

COREQUISITE:

ENG101- English composition or equivalent.

 

REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:

      (An affordable hardcover option can be purchased online if you also want a hard copy.)

  • "Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology" by Elaine N. Marieb and Lori A. Smith, Sixth Edition (Pearson) / ISBN-13: 978-0-13-420633-2

REQUIRED MATERIALS:  

  1. Safety glasses are required for all on-campus sections.

As the result of instructional activities, students will be able to:

  • Discuss the organization of the human body using accurate anatomical and directional terminology
  • Explain the basic concept of homeostasisand explain its role in human function
  • List the levels of biological organization and apply them to the study of human anatomy and physiology
  • Describe the basic tissue types of the body and their location and explain their functions
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the integumentary system and describe the functions of the system
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the skeletal system and explain the functional roles in osteogenesis, repair, and body movement
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the muscular system and explain their functional roles in body movement, maintenance of posture, and heat production
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the respiratory system and explain their functional roles in ventilation and respiration
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the digestive system and explain their functional roles in digestion, absorption, excretion, and elimination
  • Discuss the functional relationship among cellular, tissue and organ level metabolism, the role nutrition plays in metabolism, and the mechanics by which metabolic rate is regulated in the body
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the urinary system and explain their functional roles
  • Identify and describe the physiology of the homeostatic mechanisms that control fluid/electrolyte and acid/base balance
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the reproductive system and explain their functional roles in reproduction
  • Describe the pathophysiology of select homeostatic imbalances of the human body
  • Apply concepts of human anatomy and physiology to real situations
  • Identify anatomical structures in human and animal specimens and models
  • Identify structural and functional relationships in the human body
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate scientific information and theory in writing
  • Demonstrate higher-order (critical) thinking skills in using the understanding gained by meeting the previous objectives
