GS Anatomy and Physiology

This course is an introduction to the structure and function of the body's major organ systems. The course will cover basic principles of biology and chemistry required to understand physiology. Students will study the chemical, cellular and tissue levels of organization in the human body and begin a survey of organ systems with a study of the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Laboratory exercises are designed to reinforce lecture material by providing opportunities for both observation and manipulation of anatomical structures and experiments in physiological principles.
