Course Outline for Anatomy 1 GENERAL HUMAN ANATOMY Catalog Description:

1 - General Human Anatomy 5 Units

Structure and function of the human body with emphasis on microscopic and gross anatomy. Microscopic examination of normal and pathological tissues, and dissection, supplemented by use of charts, models, and computer assisted instruction. Prerequisite: Biology 31 or equivalent course (completed with a grade of C of higher). Strongly recommended eligibility for English 1A . 3 hours lecture, 6 hours laboratory. [Typical contact hours: lecture 52.5, laboratory 105]

Prerequisite Skills:

Before entering the course a student should be able to:

1. describe and apply the scientific method and how it is used by scientists to further scientific knowledge; 2. cite the characteristics and levels of organization exhibited by all living organisms; 3. know the use of light microscope and dissecting scope; 4. describe how cells/specialized cells are structured and function; 5. describe basic cell metabolism; 6. describe/contrast, mitosis and meiosis; 7. describe structure, transmission and expression of genes; 8. explain the Darwinian concept of evolution as modified by modern scientific knowledge; 9. describe how the modern (binomial) system names and classifies organisms.

Expected Outcomes for Students:

Upon completion of the class, the students should be able to:

1. speak and write using anatomical terminology; 2. identify and describe structure, function, and location of basic tissue types; 3. list levels of organization with emphasis on the structure of cells through interacting organ systems and explain how higher levels depend on lower levels for each system; 4. identify and describe: - gross anatomy of component organs, - histology, - systemic function, - basic functions of component organs and how each contributes to the systemic function; 5. explain how the systemic functions interact with each other within the human organism; 6. describe the events of embryonic and fetal development and the anatomy of extraembryonic membranes.
