ZOO 2010 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I
This course is the first semester of a two-semester introduction to the structure and function of the human body. This course will cover cellular physiology, histology, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
Credits: 4
Instructional Method Lecture and Lab
General Education Requirement: Life Science
Comments: Students must complete both ZOO 2010 & ZOO 2020 for course equivalency at UW. Otherwise, course does not meet UW’s Human Culture requirement unless transferred as part of an Associate degree.
Prerequisites:
One semester of college biology or chemistry, or instructor permission
Minimum Student Competencies
Upon completion of ZOO 2010 Human Anatomy and Physiology I , the student will:
- Describe the basic biochemical principles upon which systems of the human body operate.
- Apply the fundamental vocabulary of the discipline and anatomical terms properly.
- Outline the principles of cell structure and function including membrane transport, bioenergetics, protein anabolism, and the cell cycle.
- Identify the human tissues, describe their features and functions, and exemplify their locations.
- Discuss in detail the organization, structure, function, and regulation of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
- Identify the macroscopic and microscopic structures of the integumentary, muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems.
- Explain homeostasis and discuss it in relationship to each of the organ systems covered.
Program Outcomes
