Course Description
Formerly: BIOL C105. This course with laboratory introduces students to the subject of Anatomy and Physiology of the human body. It highlights the interaction between different body systems to maintain homeostasis. This course prepares students for many programs in the medical field. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC: Credit Limitation: Credit may be granted for either BIOL C102 or BIOL C221 or BIOL C220, BIOL C225.
Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
- Identify organs of each body system and describe how they work together to perform the functions of that system.
- Correlate the structure of specific organs to their functions and the way that organ works to maintain homeostasis.
Course Objectives
- 1. Develop an understanding of the organization of the human body from atoms and molecules to organs and systems.
- 2. Understand the basic cellular anatomy and physiology including mitosis and meiosis
- 3. Describe general tissue types
- 4. Understand the basic structure and function of the 11 systems of the human body
- 5. Develop a working knowledge of the special senses
