Examines the anatomy of human organs and organ systems from a functional perspective that focuses on an understanding of the design of the human body. Teaches, in the laboratory setting, how to distinguish tissue types through histological specimens. Studies the three-dimensional relationship of body structures through required non-human mammalian dissection. Demonstrates, using human cadavers, the gross anatomy of the human body. Field trips may be required. Recommended Prep: BIOL M01 or BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH; and eligibility for ENGL M01A or M01AH; and a course taught at the level of intermediate algebra or placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process.
