Course Description: This is the first term of a three-term sequence. This course benefits students entering health professions, physical education and pre-professional medical or veterinary degrees. Emphasis is placed on the structure, function and regulatory mechanisms of the tissues, skin, skeleton, muscles and neurons. Includes a laboratory component that requires dissection.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Describe and identify specific terminology associated with body geography; surface and internal anatomy; and control systems.
• CLO#2: Describe histological tissue types by identification and function.
• CLO#3: Describe, identify structures, and apply knowledge of the integumentary system.
• CLO#4: Describe, identify structures, and apply knowledge of osseous tissue, bone structure, and the entire human skeleton.
• CLO#5: Describe, identify structures, and apply knowledge of the articulations and movements of the human body.
• CLO#6: Describe, identify structures, and apply knowledge of muscle tissue physiology and selected muscles of the human body. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
• CLO#7: Describe, identify structures, and apply knowledge of the nervous system, focusing on neuron anatomy and neurophysiology.
