BIOL 164 Human Anatomy and Physiology I. This course provides an integrative approach to the normal structure and function of the human body. Repair and replication, structural support, nervous integration, movement and metabolism are examined at the cellular, tissue and system levels. Recent scientific discoveries are presented as a means of relating the systems studied to various applied disciplines including health care and Kinesiology.
Prerequisites: Biology 12 or BIOL 60 and Chemistry 11 or CHEM 50 both with a minimum of 60%. and one of: Biology 11 or BIOL 50 or Chemistry 12 or CHEM 60 or Physics 12 or PHYS 60 with a minimum grade of 60%

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Articulate an appropriate understanding of: How the human body is organized, the structure and function of a metabolizing animal cell, the four basic tissue types and body systems, including nervous/special senses, skeletal and muscular
- Define terminology introduced in class / laboratory using the language of Biology, and then apply it using descriptive examples, labels or diagrams of anatomical details / physiological processes where appropriate
- Effectively integrate anatomical structure with physiological function for all systems studied, as they pertain to maintaining homeostasis within the human body
- Participate safely and capably, using correct technique and conduct appropriate in an undergraduate Biology Lab, while garnering meaningful hands on experience in all of the above mentioned
