3 hours lecture per week Recommended Preparation: CHEM 100 or higher level chemistry or biochemistry; 100 level or higher course in biology or zoology. ZOOL 141, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, is a basic course in the structure and function of the human body which includes a study of its embryology, gross anatomy, microanatomy, physiology, pathology, and homeostatic relationships with regards to the following areas: body orientation, chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, integumentary, bone tissue, skeletal, joints, muscular tissue, muscular system, nervous tissue, spinal cord & nerves, brain, cranial nerves, neural integration and special senses. Upon successful completion of ZOOL 141, the student should be able to: Recall the required anatomical structures of the body. Relate chemistry and biology knowledge to the function of the human body as a whole and each of the systems. Analyze the structure and function of the cells, tissues, and organ systems, and their interactions with each other and the environment. Explain the gross and cellular physiology of the systems. Describe the functional relationship between the systems. Discuss the negative and positive feedback control process in the systems. Identify the basic embryology of the systems. Discuss the maturation and aging process involving these systems. Discuss the various pathological diseases of the following systems. Relate metabolic processes to everyday activities such as eating, exercise, and sleep. Discuss newspaper articles related to subject matter. Discuss current research related to subject matter. Employ critical thinking and knowledge of common mechanisms of physiological operation to understand how systems function, how disease interferes with these processes, and how clinical intervention reestablishes homeostasis.
