Chabot College January 1999 Course Outline for Anatomy 1 GENERAL HUMAN ANATOMY Catalog Description:

1 - General Human Anatomy 4 Units

Structure and function of the human body with emphasis on microscopic, gross, and developmental 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 or 52A. 2 hours lecture, 6 hours laboratory.

Prerequisite Skills:

Biology 31 or an appropriate skill level demonstrated through the Biology assessment process.

Before entering the course a student should be able to:
