Subject:

Biology

Description:

Focusing on God's creation of the human body and the intricacies that make a perfect canvas for life and living. This course will look at the interrelationships of body organ systems. Emphasizing that nearly all regulatory mechanisms have interactions with other organ systems. This course will seek to examine the body as a community of dynamic parts instead of independently functioning units. Homeostasis is the body functioning at optimal levels. When homeostasis is disrupted there are always associations with past or present pathology. The emphasis here will be what happens "when things go wrong" and there is a loss of homeostasis and balance in the body. This course is supported by learning in the laboratory. The laboratory provides hands on training that will link the concepts learned in the classroom into physical experiences. The experiences selected focus on careers in the health sciences. This course encourages student learning of body structure to better understand body function. The study of structure will include coverage of molecules to bones and tissues of the human body. This course will provide the foundation that will be used throughout your career. This course is designed for nursing students and does not fulfill any requirement for any major or minor within the Biology Department. Prerequisite: Nursing major. Fall semester.
