NS 3420 - Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory


     
Spring. 2 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite or corequisite: introductory biology. Corequisite: NS 3410 . Enrollment limited to: senior, junior, or sophomore students in biology. Enrollment preference given to: DNS majors and DPD (Dietetics) students. Enrolled students must attend mandatory first lab; no shows will be dropped. No admittance after second week.

M. Lujan, J. Michael.

Principles of human anatomy and physiology will be presented using anatomical models, drawings, dissections, and histology as well as non-invasive interactive assessments of physiological functions and review of clinical case studies. Weekly lecture will provide content connections with NS 3410 . Emphasis will be on location, recognition, and description of anatomical structures and their relation to function. Content includes anatomical terminology, gross and microscopic anatomy, and regulation of various organ systems. Evaluation based on attendance, two lab practicums, and lab assignments.

Outcome 1: Demonstrate the ability to readily identify components of the major organs systems and describe their location in the human body using anatomical terminology.

Outcome 2: Demonstrate the ability to predict the physiological consequences of imbalances in the homeostatic regulation of the major organ systems.

Outcome 3: Demonstrate an understanding of how organ systems are integrated at the whole body level.
