COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Anatomy and Physiology 111 (5 credit hours)

First quarter of a two-quarter course dealing with the structures and function of the human body. This quarter includes the study of cellular biology, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Biology 101 is strongly recommended.


Anatomy and Physiology 112 (5 credit hours)

Continuation of the structure and function of the human body, including the following systems: endocrine, reproductive, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and urinary. Concepts of fluid and electrolytes, acid-base balance, and the effects of stress are reviewed. Prerequisite: A&P 111 or A&P 121


Anatomy and Physiology with Cadaver 121 (5 credit hours)

First quarter of a two-quarter course dealing with the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Includes the study of cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Identification of anatomical structures on cadavers will be required in the laboratory. Course is intended to be an alternative to A&P 111; credit toward graduation will be granted for A&P 111 or A&P 121 and not for both.


Anatomy and Physiology with Cadaver 122 (5 credit hours)

Continuation of the study of the human body and the mechanisms for maintaining homestasis within it. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance are included. Identification of anatomical structures on cadavers will be required in the laboratory. Course is intended to be an alternative to A&P 112; credit toward graduation will be granted for A&P 112 or A&P 122 and not for both. Prerequisite: A&P 111 or A&P 121.

Biology 100 (5 credit hours)

For non-science majors and interested students. Includes study of the organization of living organisms from their behavioral, ecological, hereditary and evolutionary relationships. Scientific method is included.


Biology 101 (5 credit hours)

For science majors and those seeking an in-depth foundation in biology. Major topics include the philosophy of science, scientific method, chemical and cellular organization of life, energy dynamics, genetics and evolution. One year of high school algebra or equivalent is strongly recommended.


Biology 102 (5 credit hours)

Basic structural organization and classification of the animal kingdom. Animal anatomy and physiology with emphasis on the vertebrates. Prerequisite: Biology 101.
