BIOL 223 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I Credits: 4 Description A detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of human cells and tissues and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Designed for health science majors.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Describe the organization of human structures and understand the relationship between structure and function.
- Differentiate the basic tissue types of the human body; distinguish the function and location of each type.
- Describe the basic tissue types of the integumentary system and discuss its functions.
- Explain the processes of bone growth and bone development.
- Discuss the classification, identification and location of bones.
- Distinguish the types of articulations and their roles in musculoskeletal development.
- Summarize the molecular and microscopic structure of muscle cells.
- Explain the physiological process of muscle contraction.
- Describe muscles including structural and functional characteristics, location and identification.
- Integrate nervous tissue structure and cellular organization with the functional characteristics, location and identification.
- Explain the structure and function of the various divisions of the nervous system.
- Summarize how the divisions of the nervous system play a role in communication, control and integration of bodily functions to maintain homeostasis.
- Distinguish between general and special senses of the human body, describe structures involved and explain their functioning.
