Anatomy and Physiology Course Description

 

         The Anatomy and Physiology course is a semester-long course designed to help students explore human structure and function on the cellular, tissue and organ levels.  Topics to be covered will include an introduction to anatomical terms, histology, and some major body systems.  By participating in modeling activities, physiology laboratories, and dissections, you will understand the organization of these systems and how they are interrelated.  Moreover, you will be able to relate information discussed in class to current strategies of disease prevention and treatment.  Finally, it is my ultimate goal that upon completion of this course, you will develop an appreciation for the complexity of the human body and how it functions.  For a complete explanation of the course, expectations, and grading policy, see the Anatomy and Physiology Course Description.
