BIOL212

The first semester of a two-semester sequence on the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology. The biological function and structure of the cells, tissues, and major organ systems in the body will be covered, along with basic concepts of chemistry and physics. The course will also cover the pathological conditions that are most often seen by medical personnel, and will discuss how the loss of homeostasis leads to pathology or disease. BIOL 212 is the prerequisite for BIOL 213, and this combination is intended to meet the requirements of students preparing for allied health occupations. Does NOT fulfill Core requirement for Scientific and Technological Inquiry (ESTI) or requirements for a major or minor in biology. Three hours of lecture and one laboratory weekly.
