Course-Level: 

Specific skills and competencies expected of students who complete this course include the following: 

 

Learning Outcomes for Lecture 

Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 

  • Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. 

  • Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. 

  • Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems. 

  • Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis. 

  • Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances. 

  • Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology. 

 

Learning Outcomes for Lab 

Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 

  • Apply appropriate safety and ethical standards. 

  • Locate and identify anatomical structures. 

  • Appropriately utilize laboratory equipment, such as microscopes, dissection tools, general lab ware, physiology data acquisition systems, and virtual simulations. 

  • Work collaboratively to perform experiments. 

  • Demonstrate the steps involved in the scientific method. 

  • Communicate results of scientific investigations, analyze data and formulate conclusions.
