Center for Life & Health Sciences Mohawk Valley Community College Utica, New York Course Number BI106 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 () (4.5 Credit Hours) Fall 2011 William Perrotti
Course Outline Course Number: BI106 Course Title: Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 4.5 Credit Hours I. Course Description Biology 106 This course covers the structure of the human organism at the macroscopic and microscopic levels, its function, and the regulatory processes that operate within a living system. It introduces general anatomical, physiological, and chemical organization, and includes discussions of the integumentary system, musculoskeletal system, and nervous system. Laboratories involve vertebrate dissection, the use of human skeletal materials, non-invasive human experimentation, and animal experimentation. Depending on lab site, the lab experience may involve the extensive use of prosected human cadavers. Prerequisite: One year of high school chemistry, equivalent college preparation, or permission of the Dean or Assistant Dean of the Center for Life & Health Sciences. In addition, one year of high school biology or equivalent college preparation is strongly recommended.
