BIOL 2401 - Anatomy & Physiology I


4 credit hours.
Lecture/Lab/Clinical: Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week.
Prerequisite(s): TSI complete in reading and writing.
Anatomy & Physiology I is intended for students entering a field of study in health sciences or kinesiology. Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.  The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems and the special senses.  Animal dissection is a required component of laboratory activity in both face-to-face and online format. Successful completion of BIOL 2401 with a C or better allows the student to continue on to BIOL 2402.  The natural sciences and allied health divisions of the college strongly recommend that CHEM 1406 or CHEM 1411 be the first course in the pre-nursing/pre-MLT sequence and be taken prior to enrolling in BIOL 2401.  The topics covered in CHEM 1406 or CHEM 1411 are foundational to the following courses:  Nutrition, A & P I, A & P II, and Microbiology.

Note: Additional course fee(s) required.
