Studies the physiological principles, function, integration and homeostasis of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and organism level: integumentary system, bone, skeletal system, smooth and cardiac muscles, nervous system, sensory organs, cardiovascular system, lymphatic and immune systems, respiratory system, urinary system, digestive system, endocrine system, and reproductive system. Utilizes laboratory computer simulations and experiments to demonstrate basic principles and introduce physiological techniques and instruments. Prerequisites: ANAT M01 or concurrent enrollment and 1 year of high school Chemistry (or higher). Recommended Prep: BIOL M01 or BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH and Introduction to College Writing (ENGL M02) and Intermediate Algebra or equivalent or placement as determined by the college's multiple-measure assessment process. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Notes: This course is primarily intended for Nursing, Allied Health, Kinesiology, and other health-related majors.

Introduces the structures and the relationships of human body parts. Explores how the functioning of human body parts are related to their structures. Combines the study of anatomy and physiology which allows students to effectively integrate the study of structure with functioning of the system. Utilizes themes of hierarchical structural organization and the maintenance of homeostasis to form the framework for the study of the human system at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. Examines the structure/function relationship through the required dissection of mammalian brain, heart, and eye in the laboratory portion. Utilizes a human cadaver to demonstrate the principles of the anatomy of the human body. Recommended Prep: BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH or CHEM M11. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Notes: Course credit limitation: MC, CSU, and UC - ANPH M01 and ANAT M01 combined: maximum credit, 1 course; ANPH M01 and PHSO M01 (or PHSO M01H) combined: maximum credit, 1 course.

Emphasizes microbiological principles and lab techniques related to the morphology, metabolism, genetics, classification, and ecology of bacteria. Characterizes viruses and eukaryotic microorganisms. Focuses on human disease including characteristics of pathogens, immunology, and epidemiology. Practices laboratory exercises including aseptic technique, staining, the determination of bacterial growth conditions and requirements, and the identification of an unknown bacterium. Applies microbiology in clinical applications. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH or PHSO M01 or PHSO M01H and CHEM M01A or CHEM M01AH or CHEM M12 or CHEM M11 or high school Chemistry equivalent. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
