Develops a comprehensive understanding of the close interrelationship between anatomy and physiology as seen in the human organism. Introduces students to the cell, which is the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms, and covers tissues, integument, skeleton, muscular and nervous systems as an integrated unit.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student, through lecture and laboratory activities, will be expected to:
Revised Bloom’s Classification: Knowledge; Cognitive
- correctly use proper clinical terminology to describe the anatomy and basic physiology of the human body (1-Factual; 1-Remember)
- properly identify structural features of human tissues and cells under light microscopy (1-Factual; 3-Apply)
- properly identify human gross anatomy structures and features in a laboratory/clinical setting (1-Factual; 3-Apply)
- explain the structural hierarchy and organizational levels of anatomical classification (2-Conceptual; 2-Understand)
- explain the interrelationship of structure and function in macroscopic and microscopic aspects of human anatomy (2-Conceptual; 4-Analyze)
