This course provides in-depth examination of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and sensory systems. Students will explore these systems through an integrated approach that includes lecture-based content and hands-on laboratory experiences. Designed for students pursuing health science or nursing pathways.
Concurrent enrollment in BIO 201L is required.
Prerequisites
A passing grade of “C” or higher in one of the following courses: BIO 100, BIO 160, BIO 181, CHM 130, CHM 138 or CHM 151
Student Learning Outcomes
- Utilize appropriate directional terms to describe the relative positions of anatomical structures and recognize how the body maintains homeostasis.
- Classify and recognize key categories of organic molecules and how they relate to human nutritional needs.
- Outline the structural components of the cell and explain their basic physiological roles.
- Differentiate between the primary tissue types based on their structure and function.
- Identify the major anatomical structures and functions associated with the integumentary system.
- Identify and label the principal bones and structural features of the skeletal system.
- Identify major muscles and physiological components of the muscular system.
- Identify the major anatomical regions and structures of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
