    COURSE SUMMARY:

    This course provides a basic study of the structure and function of the human body. The course is meant to give insight into how the overall body is structured and how to simplify the various key structures that make up the human body. The course covers the basics anatomical terminology, basic biochemistry, cells and tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    • Describe basic structural and functional features of the major organ systems within the human body.
    • Define basic biological processes essential for the maintenance of homeostasis.
    • Correlate specific structural features of human cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the human body with their normal functions, and identify the changes that occur during human development, aging, and disease.
    • Work in teams to apply their knowledge to investigate clinical scenarios and debate current topics in scientific research.
    • Develop research skills including critical analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and communication of scientific data.
    • Develop and display the motivation necessary for ongoing independent learning.

    LEARNING OUTCOMES:

    • After completing this course, students will be able to:
    • Describe the structure and function of various human organs and systems
    • Explain how human organs and systems interact
    • Describe the relationship between and processes related to nutrition and metabolism
    • Recognize the stages of growth and development
