BIOL 2401 Anatomy and Physiology I .... 4:3:2
Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two
course sequence. It is a study of the structure and
function of the human body including cells, tissues
and organs of the following systems: integumentary,
skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses.
Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems
and regulation of physiological functions involved in
maintaining homeostasis. The lab provides a handson learning experience for exploration of human
system components and basic ph
