This course is the first in a two semester survey of the structure and function of the human body. The study begins at the cellular level and proceeds through tissue and organ levels within each of the body systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, special senses, and endocrine. This course satisfies a general education requirement in the Natural Sciences Area.

Prerequisite(s): BIO 114 or one year of high school biology within the last five years. CHM 110, CHM 122, or CHM 165; or one year of high school chemistry within the last five years.
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology related to anatomy and physiology.
Recognize the anatomical structures.
Explain the physiological functions of body systems.
Explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body.
Explain the principle of homeostasis and use the feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body.
Use critical thinking to evaluate scientific information to make informed decisions.
