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 and identify structures within the integumentary system.
• CLO#4: Describe and identify structures of osseous tissue, bone structure, and the entire human skeleton.
• CLO#5: Describe and identify structures of the articulations and movements of the human body.
• CLO#6: Describe and identify structures of muscle tissue physiology and selected muscles of the human body. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
• CLO#7: Describe and identify structures of the nervous system, focusing on neuron anatomy and neurophysiology.
