ZOO 2015 Human Anatomy

This course is a study of human structure in terms of its microscopic and gross anatomy. It is designed to provide students with an adequate background to study human function in ZOO- 2025; Human Physiology, but will also serve as a human anatomical study for students majoring in Nursing, Physical Education, Athletic Training, Health Science or Biological Science. A laboratory is included where human cadavers will be studied and dissected when available. Otherwise, the cat will serve as the dissection specimen. Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 recommended, but not required. (3 lect., 3 lab)

Outcomes

In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:

1. Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy.

2. Recognize and spell correctly the macroscopic and microscopic anatomical structures of body systems.

3. Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures.

4. Recognize and explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical systems of the human body.

5. Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances.

6. Demonstrate laboratory procedures used (i.e. microscopy and dissection techniques) to examine anatomical structures.

7. Demonstrate information literacy skills to access, evaluate, and use resources to stay current in the fields of anatomy and physiology.

8. Approach and examine issues related to anatomy and physiology from an evidence-based perspective.

9. Communicate clearly and in a way that reflects knowledge and understanding of the human body and demonstrates the ability to adapt information to different audiences and applications.
