Anatomy and Physiology I VLab is a virtual laboratory experience. This course emphasizes critical thinking to deepen understanding of human anatomy and physiology related to cell structure and function, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
Anatomy and Physiology II VLab is a virtual laboratory experience. This course emphasizes critical thinking to deepen understanding of human anatomy and physiology related to the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
In this virtual lab, the student will learn through hands-on experiments the structure and function of microorganisms, methods of microbial control. In addition, the specific bacterial, fungal, protozoan, viral agents of human disease will be experimented and viewed.
Anatomy and Physiology VLab is a virtual laboratory experience. This course emphasizes critical thinking to deepen understanding of human anatomy and physiology related to the eleven major human body systems.
Anatomy and Physiology I is the first course in a two-part course sequence that examines the structure and function of the human body. Designed for students pursuing careers in health sciences or related fields, this course provides a foundational understanding of how the body’s systems work together to sustain life. Topics include cell structure and function, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, with an emphasis on the relationships between anatomical structures and physiological processes.
The second of two courses covers the organization of the body and the anatomy and physiology of various body systems: circulatory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive. The major organs of systems and how they relate to overall status of the body are discussed.
Students learn a branch of biology dealing with microscopic forms of life. They learn how microorganisms on humans can be both beneficial and harmful. Students gain insight on different viruses and how they affect humans, the environment, and the future of genetics.
This course is focused on cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology and its impact on the body. Students study anatomic, physiologic and pharmacologic concepts of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and will develop a systematic understanding of the position, function and interplay of structures within the respiratory, cardiovascular and renal systems.
Anatomy and Physiology examines the structure and function of the human body and the interrelationships among its systems. Designed for students pursuing careers in the health sciences or related fields, this course provides a foundational understanding of how the body’s components work together to maintain homeostasis and sustain life. Topics include cellular structure and function, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, as well as the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between anatomical structures and physiological processes, preparing students for advanced study and clinical application in health-related disciplines.
None
In this virtual lab, the student will learn through hands-on experiments involving the structure and function of cells, cellular regulations, and animal physiology.
Introduces students to the study of life as it pertains to natural science, hypothesis testing, and general concepts of biomolecules, cells, cellular regulations and animal physiology. Develops knowledge of terms and concepts in ecology, evolution, disease biology, and genetics. Students will gain the ability to apply scientific processes and knowledge of the natural world to make evidence-based decisions.
This course introduces students to human diseases and the mechanisms that govern them. The course focuses on the dynamic aspects of disease processes and disorders of the principal human organs and body systems. Students will examine homeostasis and the fundamentals of the nature of common diseases and disorders of each organ system, including body response to stress and the natural progression of disease and other relevant diseases of physical injury, skin and the musculoskeletal systems.
This course introduces students to the principle concepts of epidemiology and biostatistics as applied to public health problems and the investigation of infectious and noninfectious diseases. The course focuses on the principles and methods of epidemiologic investigation, appropriate summaries and displays of epidemiological data, and the use of classical statistical approaches to describe the health of populations. Emphasis is on the use of epidemiology in the understanding of etiologic factors, modes of transmission, and pathogenesis. Topics include application of these disciplines in the areas of health services, screening, genetics, and environment policy. The influences of epidemiology and biostatistics on legal and ethical issues and the epidemiological approach to health services evaluation are also discussed.
This course focuses on the core knowledge and competencies necessary to design and provide care for patients with illness and disease. Students focus on providing individualized, evidence-based health care directed toward achieving quality outcomes.
