Anatomy & Physiology 1
The first course of a 2-semester comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. The course focuses on the integumentary skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Studies body organization, anatomical terminology, and foundations of histology. Emphasis is on form and function, and the role that negative feedback and homeostasis play in the control of the human body. The course is designed using Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) Learning outcomes. Laboratory study includes microscope work, organ and animal dissection, and exercises designed to illustrate normal anatomy and physiology. Pre-requisite: Successful completion of the Genesee Community College Math and Reading proficiencies and BIO 104 or BIO 125 and BIO 125L completed with a grade of “C” or better within the last five years, or acceptance into a health care career program.
