BIO 1410 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I4 lecture hours 2 lab hours 5 credits Course Description This is the first course of the two-semester anatomy and physiology course sequence. (prereq: none) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain the concept of homeostasis, including an ability to describe the components of a negative feedback loop
- Apply the terminology related to anatomical orientation, body regions and body cavities
- Explain how common biological atoms and molecules interact within living systems
- List the four categories of biological macromolecules, identify their monomers (i.e. building blocks), and provide example functions of each
- Identify the common intracellular components of cells, and list the general functions of each
- Describe the composition of the cellular membrane
- Explain the basis of the charge distribution across the plasma membrane
- Compare and contrast the types of membrane transport processes (including the passive process of osmosis)
- Explain how changes in extracellular tonicity impact cell volume.
- Describe the steps involved in gene expression and explain how gene expression can modify the functions of any cell
- Outline the steps of the cell cycle and mitosis, explaining the conditions under which mitosis normally occurs
- Apply the concepts of genetics to solve traditional genetic problems to assess the heritability of genes and traits
- List the classes of body tissues and explain the histological features of each tissue
- List the histological features of the integumentary system and explain how they contribute to the functions of the integumentary system
- List the histological features of bone tissue and explain how these features contribute to the functions of the skeletal system
- Name and locate the major bones of the human body
- Define the names of the important surface features of bones
- Explain the classifications of joints and the standard features of synovial joints
- Name and locate the major muscles of the human body
- Apply the terminology used to name muscles
- Explain the anatomical features of muscle tissue and their roles in muscle contraction
- Compare and contrast skeletal and smooth muscle function and regulation
- Explain the histological features and functions of nervous tissue
