Description
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the function and regulation of the human body. The course will stress the physiological integration of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis in the human body. Course content will include neural and hormonal homeostatic control mechanisms, as well as study of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, immune, reproductive, and endocrine organ systems. Lecture three hours per week and laboratory one day per week for three hours.
Prerequisite: BI 256 at a grade of "C" or higher AND one semester of college-level chemistry at a grade of "C" or higher. BI 258 Human Anatomy & Physiology I alone is not a suitable prerequisite for this course. However, students that have already taken the two semester sequence of BI 258 and BI 259 may elect to take BI 358 as an additional course for a deeper level of understanding of human physiology.
Offered: Spring semester
