This course is a study of the structural organization of the human body: gross and microscopic structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, from cellular to organ system levels of organization. This course is primarily intended for nursing, allied health, kinesiology, and other health related majors. This course covers structure of the human body at the cell, tissue, organ, and system level. A systems approach is taken with microscopy and gross anatomy of all systems. Emphasis is placed on structure-function relationships. This is a majors level course with designed rigor. The laboratory includes study of microscopic specimens, organ and organism dissection, and models. (HBCU, UC, CSU, C-ID BIOL 110B)
