    Description
    BIOL 115 is an introductory course covering biological principles as they apply to the human body. The central theme is the structure and function of the human organism. Topics covered include the scientific method and the characteristics of life, homeostasis and the human internal environment, basic body directional terminology, and the organization and functions of the human body including cells, tissues, the major body systems, heredity and aging, and selected major human conditions and diseases. A weekly laboratory allows students the opportunity to gain practical experience in the techniques necessary to study the health sciences.
