Anatomy and Physiology 1 (PROR) BHSC 1110

Examines normal structure and function based on a systems approach. The first of two consecutive courses, followed by BHSC 2210. Although introducing all body systems, emphasizes the skeletal, skeletal muscles and nervous systems, and their integrated role in human movement and stability. Focuses on the microstructure and physiology of these systems. Begins with a study of human cytology, histology, and embryological principles, which serve as the foundation for the study of the body systems. Continues with a detailed coverage of the skeletal system and concludes with an introduction to the organization and microstructural details of the skeletal muscle system.
