    Description
    This course presents the relationships between the structures of the human body and their functions, and examines them at multiple levels of organization. Emphasis will be placed on how these structures maintain healthy, stable internal conditions, and some health consequences resulting from loss of this stability. Laboratory activities focus on scientific methodologies necessary for the application, analysis, and evaluation of major physiological principles using standard measuring equipment, bioelectronics, computer analysis, simulations, and/or live organisms. Gross anatomy will be studied primarily through cadaver dissection in conjunction with preserved specimens, student self-reference, models, and charts. Microscopic anatomy (histology) will be studied mainly through the use of microscope slides.
