BIO 502 Human Anatomy & Physiology I
First course in a two-part series devoted to the study of human anatomy and physiology. The course will cover topography, internal structures, and funcitons with correlations to diagnostic modalities currently used by practitioners. Pertinent biochemical principles will be integrated into the course to cover cellular and subcellular structures and processes which impact health and disease. A systems and an intersystem approach is used throughout and reinforced in the guided lab (BIO 503). Topics include the integumentary, special senses, musculoskeletal, endoccrine, digestive, and urinary systems. Additional topics include body organization, histology, water, electrolytes, acid-base balance, and nutrition & metabolism.
