BIOL 2401 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I

Credit Hours: 4
Contact Hours - Lecture: 3 Lab: 3
A study of the structure and function of the human body. Emphasis will be given to the study of cells and tissues and anatomical and physiological interrelationships of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Designed primarily for students entering health careers. CIP Code: (2607075103)
Prerequisite: College Level Readiness in Reading AND Writing; BIOL 1408 or BIOL 2404 strongly recommended; MATH 0308
