ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1500 (IAI L1 904L) Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology 4 credit hours Essential principles of human anatomy and physiology are presented, including basic chemistry, cell and tissue studies, and an overview of all the body systems. Intended as a survey course for certain allied health and social service programs, and as a general natural science course. Prerequisite: Course requires Reading Placement Test Score-Category One (3 lecture hours, 2 lab hours)

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1551 (IAI L1 904L) Human Anatomy and Physiology I 4 credit hours First semester of a two-semester sequence dealing with the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Includes the study of cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Course is intended to be an alternative to Anatomy and Physiology 1571; credit toward graduation will be granted for Anatomy and Physiology 1551 or Anatomy and Physiology 1571, but not for both. Biology 1151 is strongly recommended. Prerequisite: Course requires Reading Placement Test Score-Category One (3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours)

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1552 Human Anatomy and Physiology II 4 credit hours Continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body and the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of development, metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance are included. Course is intended to be an alternative to Anatomy and Physiology 1572; credit toward graduation will be granted for Anatomy and Physiology 1552 or Anatomy and Physiology 1572 but not for both. Prerequisite: Anatomy and Physiology 1551 or 1571, with a grade of “C” or better. Course requires Reading Placement Test Score-Category One (3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours)

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1571 (IAI L1 904L) Anatomy and Physiology with Cadaver I 4 credit hours First semester of a two-semester sequence dealing with the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Includes the study of cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. Identification of anatomical structures on cadavers will be required in the laboratory. Course is intended to be an alternative to Anatomy and Physiology 1551; credit toward graduation will be granted for Anatomy and Physiology 1551 or Anatomy and Physiology 1571 but not for both.
