4.00 Credits
This course meets Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) goal areas 3 and 10. This course provides the learner with many principles and theories of biology. It includes an investigation in the biodiversity, classification, species, and populations of life. Addressed in this course are the fundamentals in human health and disease, ecology, conservation, biodiversity, and growth rate changes of humans and plants. Lab experience is included. Knowledge of basic genetics is suggested.
-
3.00 Credits
This course studies the whole human body's structure and function by body systems. Units include basic chemistry; structure and functions of the cell; the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems; and special senses. Additional units of study include the structure and function of the endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems. Lab experience is included.
-
4.00 Credits
This course meets Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) goal area 3. This course provides the learner with understanding, knowledge, and application skills needed in the area of anatomy and physiology. Students learn to recognize and apply anatomical and medical terminology descriptions of cellular and tissue anatomy and physiology. Foundational skills are then directed toward gaining an understanding of the organs constituting the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular systems. The normal structure and function of these organ systems are emphasized. Lab experience is included. Dissections, symptoms, laboratory signs, and diagnosis of system pathology are used to illuminate normal processes where appropriate. Prerequisite: College level reading score on a placement test or a minimum grade of "C" in CollegePrep Reading (READ0355).
