Anatomy & Physiology

 

7770 Biology II (Anatomy & Physiology/Genetics)

Year, 2 credits

Prerequisite: B average in Biology IC

Chemistry IC completion or concurrent enrollment

Biology II is an in-depth study of the human organism. The first semester’s concentration will be on Human Anatomy & Physiology, which will take a systematic approach, will help students understand the structure and function of the human body. Biological processes and biochemical interactions will be stressed. The second semester’s concentration will be on Human Genetics, the application of the principles of genetics to the human organism. Genetics will help provide students with an understanding of the origin and extent of genetic diversity in the human genome, and the role of selection and evolution in the shaping of genotypes and phenotypes.

Students are required to be very highly self-motivated and should be prepared

to spend significant time and effort completing homework, challenging laboratory work, laboratory reports, and studying for tests. Lab Fee: $5.00 per semester.
