Course Description
Formerly: BIOL G170. A course in basic human anatomy, covering the major body systems and including topics of both gross and microstructure of the organ systems. Designed for paramedical biology majors (nursing, x-ray technicians, physician's assistant, chiropractic, dental hygiene, pharmacy) and physical education majors. Will not satisfy transfer requirements for Biological Science majors. PREREQUISITE: BIOL G100 or BIOL G180 or BIOL G221; and ENGL G090 or ENGL G099 or English Placement Test; and course taught at the level of intermediate algebra or appropriate math placement. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: BIOL 110B. C-ID: BIOL 110B.
Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
- Course Outcomes
- Perform laboratory dissections using the proper instruments and techniques while adhering to laboratory safety protocol.
- Explain major anatomical concepts.
- Name and identify the basic structures of the human body.
- Demonstrate the ability to place a structure of anatomical significance in proper orientation (location) for normal body function, so that structure location will become second nature as they study physiology (function) in the second (follow-up) course.
- Describe and explain major anatomical structures involved in organ system integrational homeostasis.
Course Objectives
- 1. Utilize basic dissection skills.
- 2. Review anatomical structures and concepts as they relate to physiological processes.
- 3. Identify cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system structures of the human body.
- 4. Describe cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system structures of the human body and place them in the appropriate locations.
- 5. Describe structural or anatomical changes that occur in disease, injury, or aging of the human body.
- 6. Use appropriate anatomical terminology when describing anatomical concepts, physiological concepts, describing anatomical structures, and identifying anatomical structures.
