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 ā€œCā€ or higher in one of the following courses: BIO 100, BIO 160, BIO 181, CHM 130, CHM 138 or CHM 151

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. Utilize appropriate directional terms to describe the relative positions of anatomical structures and recognize how the body maintains homeostasis. 
  2. Classify and recognize key categories of organic molecules and how they relate to human nutritional needs. 
  3. Outline the structural components of the cell and explain their basic physiological roles.
  4. Differentiate between the primary tissue types based on their structure and function.
  5. Identify the major anatomical structures and functions associated with the integumentary system.
  6. Identify and label the principal bones and structural features of the skeletal system.
  7. Identify major muscles and physiological components of the muscular system.
  8. Identify the major anatomical regions and structures of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
  9. Identify anatomical structures related to the special senses and general senses.
  10. Summarize the functional roles of the nervous system in communication, coordination, and control of body activities.
