ATHABASCA UNIVERSITY BIOL 235: HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Revision 11 COURSE DETAILS OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES

ATHABASCA UNIVERSITY BIOL 235: HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Revision 11 COURSE DETAILS OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES Introduction Welcome to Biology 235: Human Anatomy and Physiology, a six-credit, university-level course that covers all major elements of the human body, including basic anatomy, fundamental organic chemistry, cellular structure and function, and the integration, organization, and control of the body system. While completing this course, you will acquire an understanding of normal anatomy and physiology, of physiological adaptations to special conditions, and of some of the physiological factors in disease processes. There are no prerequisites for Biology 235; however, we strongly recommend that students have a solid knowledge of basic chemistry and anatomy or biology (Chemistry 30 and Biology 30, or their equivalents, provide a good background). Note: This is not an introductory biology course. As there are no laboratory activities associated with Human Anatomy and Physiology, it will not be accepted as a “lab science” course. This Student Manual contains information that you will need to complete Biology 235 successfully. Please read it carefully, and keep it in a safe place. Biol 235 is equivalent to a two-semesters course delivered at any Canadian university, and requires at least 96 hours of study. Course Materials The materials for this course are available online.
