SCI 200 Anatomy and Physiology I

This course is a comprehensive survey of human anatomy and physiology, involving exploration of all the major organ systems at a biochemical and cellular level. Upon completion, students will be able to identify the major parts of each organ system, understand the roles they play, and use professional terminology to describe physiological processes. They will develop an appreciation and understanding of homeostasis and how all the organ systems connect and function together. Ultimately, students will develop insights into how diseases impact physiology while learning about the most current issues facing medical research, the healthcare industry, and society today.

Prerequisites

Students must take SCI 102 and SCI 102L before they are able to master this course. SCI 102 and SCI 102L are first tier introductory courses required in the Nursing Program and this is a second-tier course.

Corequisites

SCI 200L

SCI 200L Anatomy and Physiology I Lab

This is a co-requisite lab class to SCI 200. Students will be engaging in hands-on exploration and investigation of all the major human organ systems. Upon completion, students will be able to identify the precise location of the major parts in each organ system, understand their placement and how it relates to the roles they play, and use professional terminology to describe human anatomy. It will be in-person and employ the use of microscopes, models of the human body, a human cadaver, and/or a virtual dissection tool (like an anatomage table) to dissect specimens.

Prerequisites

SCI 102 and 102L

Corequisites

This lab needs to be taken in concert with SCI 200, the 5QH Anatomy and Physiology I class. This is so that students can learn the content information they need to apply it to their laboratory examination and exploration of the human body.

SCI 205 Anatomy and Physiology II

This course is designed to build upon the basic understanding of the structure and function of the major organs and systems of the human body from the cellular to the system level from Anatomy and Physiology I. By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the workings of the human body from an anatomical and physiologic viewpoint. Pre-requisite(s): SCI 200 and SCI 200L. Co-requisite(s); None. 5 quarter hours

SCI 205L Anatomy and Physiology II Lab

This course is designed for students to apply understanding of the structure and function of the major organs and systems of the human body from the cellular to the system level to laboratory activities to demonstrate competence. Pre-requisite(s); SCI 200 and SCI 200L. Co-requisites(s): SCI 205. 2 quarter hours

SCI 225 Human Impact on Environment

This course introduces students to the effects of human population growth, urbanization, extraction and recovery of resources, modern agriculture, and industrialization on ecosystem health. Students discuss issues of climate change, sustainability and economic development, preservation of biological diversity, and environmental policy and ethics. This course incorporates integrated lab assignments, which may require use of mobile device/phone cameras or similar technology Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours
