This course provides a comprehensive study of the structure and functions of the human body through analysis of the body systems. The student will progress from the cellular structure and function of each system to homeostatic mechanisms among all systems and the external environment.

Lab portion of the Biology 200A: Human Anatomy

This course provides students with an understanding of the basic principles and concepts of cellular and organ system physiology and pathophysiology. The course will include an introduction to the chemistry and metabolism of biological molecules including: carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids; and coverage of vitamins and their components, with emphasis on their relationship to disease states and drug therapy. The biological basis of common clinical disease states is also examined. Pathophysiology is described as a disruption of normal homeostatic mechanisms that progresses beyond the normal compensatory capabilities of the human body.

Lab portion of the Biology 200 B: Human Physiology

This course is a descriptive course in inorganic and organic chemistry. Basic laws and chemical calculations are stressed with an emphasis on the theory and techniques of qualitative analysis.
