This stand-alone lab course can be used alongside an A&P I lecture. This lab course initiates the application of Human Anatomy and Physiology by having students complete at-home laboratory experiments, guided by online exploration activities, exercises, and evaluations. It is the first part of a two part series. The lab course places emphasis on organization and overview of the human body, chemical reactions, maintenance of the body, integration, regulatory mechanisms and the dynamics of support and motion. Specific topics covered include anatomical terminology, organization of the body, histology, cell biology, and tissues, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, joints, the muscular system,

This lab course initiates the application of Human Anatomy and Physiology by having students complete at-home laboratory experiments, guided by online exploration activities, exercises, and evaluations. It is the second part of a two part series. The lab course places emphasis on organization and overview of the human body, chemical reactions, maintenance of the body, integration, regulatory mechanisms and the dynamics of support and motion, as they pertain to topics not covered in the first session of the course. Specific topics covered include a review of A&P fundamentals from A&P I, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the vasculature and respiratory system, the lymphatic and immune systems, the digestive system, the urinary system, fluid and electrolyte balance, and the reproductive system. 

College Credits: 3 

Students will develop knowledge and understanding of information collection and interpretation, hypothesis analysis, and principles and processes of biology. This course will address fundamental biological principles using the two cornerstones of modern biology: genetics and evolution. Elementary chemistry, cell theory, reproduction, and development will also be covered. The emphasis is on biological chemistry, cell structure and function, cellular metabolism, genetics. Introduction will be made to the basic principles of modern biology, including biomacromolecules, bioenergetics, cell structure, homeostasis, evolution, and ecological relationships.
