BIOL 106 Basic Anatomy and Physiology

This course is designed for students who need one semester of science which provides a learning sequence of the human body systems, fluid-electrolyte balance, and tissues. The integrated approach to studying biological, chemical, and physics relationships is stressed. The laboratory program will develop an understanding of the interrelationships of the human body systems and includes animal and organ dissections as well as work with skeletons, models, slides, and experimental studies of physiological processes.
