Course Description

Formerly: BIOL G155. This course describes and relates the elements of human structure and function. Topics explored are the body system, cell structure and function, the maintenance of physiological balance and equilibrium (e.g., fluid and electrolytes, blood pressure, acid-base levels), and the physiology of nutrition and exercise. Designed for nonscience majors. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC: Credit Limitations: No credit for BIOL G221 if taken after BIOL G220 or BIOL G225.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Course Outcomes
2. Outline normal physiological processes and their role in maintaining homeostasis.
3. Label anatomical structures of the human body in a laboratory setting.
4. Interpret data generated by physiological investigations.
5. Apply critical thinking to relate anatomical structure to physiological processes.
6. Summarize the organ systems of the human body and their interactions.

Course Objectives

• 1. Describe the basic chemical and physical principles that govern human body function.
• 2. Give examples of the major inorganic and organic molecules that make up the human body.
• 3. Describe both the structure and function of all major organ systems and how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
• 4. Summarize how every organ system is interrelated to each other.
• 5. Describe the anatomical structure of major tissues and organs of the human body.
