BI 147 - Survey Anatomy and Physiology
Credit Hours: 3
A science elective designed for non-science majors. This one-semester course presents basic introductory information on cells and chemistry. An overview of structures and functions of the systems of the human body will be discussed. This course is recommended as a preparation for BI 150 and BI 152 for students who have not had a recent biology course. This course does not satisfy the science requirement for liberal arts/ science majors.
Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY
- define anatomy and physiology;
- explain what is meant by levels of organization;
- apply anatomical terminology to describe body regions, planes, body cavities and directional terms; and
- define homeostasis and explain its importance to survive.
BIOCHEMISTRY
- describe the basic atomic structure;
- define pH and describe the pH scale and the significance of this to the body; and
- describe and give the function of the following organic compounds: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
CELL
- state the major cell organelles and the function of each; and
- detail transport mechanisms across cell membranes.
HISTOLOGY AND INTEGUMENTARY
- describe the structure, location, and function of the major tissue types; and
- detail the structure and function of the skin.
OSSEOUS TISSUE AND SKELETAL SYSTEM
- detail the histology of bone tissue;
- explain bone formation and growth;
- identify selected bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton; and
- describe articulations both structurally and functionally.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
