BIOL 209 Foundations of Anatomy and Physiology

An introduction to the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology. The structure and function of the eleven major body systems will be explored through both lecture and laboratory. Laboratory sessions will focus on body systems from a microscopic level up to an organ system level. Laboratory work will include observation of models, as well as dissection of representative organisms that closely approximate body systems in humans. This course is geared toward students pursuing careers in the allied health, sports, and physical education fields and does not meet the requirements for a biology major.

PRQ: high school or college biology; or permission of instructor.
