APHY 067 - Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology


PROGRAM: Life Sciences
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2018

Introduces basic concepts and terminology used in Anatomy and Physiology. Prepares entering students who took no high school life science or took it several years ago for APHY 101  and APHY 102 . Provides a general introduction to chemistry, cells, tissues, body systems, and basic physiological processes.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student, through lecture and laboratory activities, will be expected to:

  1. Use and understand anatomical terminology.
  2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of chemistry as it relates to the human body.
  3. Describe the basic structure and function of cells.
  4. Use a microscope.
  5. Describe the 4 basic tissue types in the body.
  6. Describe the primary functions of the following body systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and body defense (immune), urinary and reproductive.
  7. Identify body organs, the body systems to which they belong, and their location within the body with emphasis on major bones and muscles of the body.
  8. Describe simple physiological processes that occur in the body systems.
