PHYL 141: Human Anatomy and Physiology I

Subject
Physiology (PHYL)
Credits 3 Class Hours3 lecture
Description

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of the human body for students entering health or medically-related fields. This basic course includes a study of the body's embryology, gross anatomy, microanatomy, physiology, homeostatic relationships, and the use of anatomy and physiology terms and concepts to develop thinking, reading and writing skills, and problem-solving abilities. The integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems are studied.

PHYL 142: Human Anatomy and Physiology II

Subject
Physiology (PHYL)
Credits 3 Class Hours3 lecture
Description

This course is the second half of a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of the human body (endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems), and use of anatomy and physiology terminology and concepts. This course will also develop thinking, reading and writing skills, and problem-solving abilities for students entering health or medically-related fields.
