COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1.  Describe the structure and function of the major tissues, organs, and systems of the human body.
2.   Apply core concepts of anatomy and physiology to understanding the basis for some common medical conditions.
 

Objectives: Untitled document
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
1.  Describe the scientific method and apply this knowledge to the course
   content; differentiate the scientific method from other modes of
   knowing.
2.  Relate basic chemical concepts and cell structure to the function of
   organs.
3.  Name the organ systems, identify the major organs, and describe their
   functions.
4.  Summarize the structures and functions necessary to accomplish
   movement of the body.
5.  Compare how body-wide communication is accomplished by the nervous and
   endocrine systems.
6.  Name the factors essential for life, and describe how they are
   supplied, transported and regulated inside the body.
7.  Compare the various structures and processes used for defense against
   injury and infection.
8.  Describe human reproductive structures and mechanisms.
9. Apply core concepts of anatomy and physiology to understanding the
   basis for some common medical conditions.
10. Perform basic physiological measurements such as EKG and blood pressure.
