ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Prerequisite: Advisory prerequisite: General Biology I (BIO-111) is strongly recommended.. This one semester course is an integrated systemic study of principles of human anatomy and physiology. Biological chemistry, cellular and tissue concepts are illustrated with overviews of all body organ systems with an emphasis on skeletal, muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. Human cadavers are utilized for the identification of anatomical structures within the laboratory. Designed primarily for allied health and social services students, this course is for students interested in the medical sciences. This course may also be used as a general science course requiring a laboratory component. Fee is required. (6 contact hours)

INTRODUCTORY MICROBIOLOGY
This course introduces microbial life, including morphology, staining, genetics, physiology and biochemistry of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae and helminthes. Medical significance of these organisms is covered, as is the significance of viruses, prions and viroids. It is strongly recommended that students select one of the following courses prior to taking this course: BIO 111, CHM 111, or CHM 131. Fee is required. (6 contact hours)

BIO-180--(4)
HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY I
Prerequisite: 1 year of high school chemistry or CHM-111. The first course of a two-course sequence, this course presents an integrated approach to structure and function of the human body. Thirty contact hours are allocated to working with human specimens and the remainder of laboratory time is allocated to the cat as a specimen. Models, prepared slides, and physiological experiments, including instrumentation, are also part of the laboratory experience. Emphasizes normal microanatomy and physiological principles of human cells, tissues, skeletal elements, and the musculature, circulatory and respiratory systems. It is strongly recommended that students select one of the following courses prior to taking this course: BIO-111, BIO-115 or CHM-131. Fee is required. (6 contact hours)

BIO-181--(4)
HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY II
Prerequisite: BIO-180. This course covers the structure and function of humans as related to the digestive, excretory, nervous, and endocrine systems; special senses; homeostatic mechanisms; human embryology and reproduction; electrolyte balance; and stress physiology. Thirty contact hours are allocated to working with human specimens and the remainder of laboratory time is allocated to the cat as a specimen. Models, prepared slides, and physiological experiments, including instrumentation, are also part of the laboratory learning experience. Fee is required. (6 contact hours)
