BIO 201 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I
Lecture and Laboratory (4 credits)
Faculty

Office hours: Arranged via email
Catalog Description
Biology 201 is the study of structure and function of the human body. Topics include: Surface
Anatomy, Chemistry, Cells, Genetics, Histology, Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Joints,
Muscular System, Central/Peripheral/Autonomic Nervous Systems and Sense Organs.
Course Overview
BIO 201 is the first course in a two-part series. BIO 201 reviews basic biology and chemistry, and
then leads into some of the major body systems: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular and
Nervous. The course is comprised of both lecture and lab. Please be aware that some BIO 201
course content may be considered sensitive - including, but not limited to graphic images of the
human body.
Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Apply the Scientific Method
• Describe and apply anatomical terminology
• Describe the composition and organization of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and
nucleic acids and explain the biological role of each.
• Describe the structure and function of cellular organelles
• Outline the movement of materials across a plasma membrane.
• Distinguish and describe the histology, location and function of major tissue types.
• Describe the structure and function of the integumentary system.
• Describe the structure and function of the skeletal system.
• Describe the structure and function of the muscular system.
• Describe the structure and function of the nervous system.
• Describe the structure and function of the sense organs.
• Define homeostasis and explain specific examples for the integumentary, skeletal,
muscular, and nervous systems.
, Course Materials
1. Textbook: Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function by Kenneth Saladin,
8th edition (8e), McGraw-Hill
A hardcopy of the textbook can be purchased from a variety of online vendors, or you
may just use the e-book, which is already bundled with the web materials (see below).
You may also use a 6th or 7th edition hardcopy of the text to save some $. If you use an
older edition of the text, you will still need 8th edition Connect Access (see below).
2. Connect Website: McGraw-Hill Connect for Saladin 8e
The majority of your course assignments will be completed through Connect. To
purchase access, or register, just click the "Connect Assignments" tab to the left in
Canvas, or access Connect under any weekly heading. Purchasing Connect gives you
access to the materials for two semesters if the courses are taken within 4 years of
each other. That means you pay once for both BIO 201 and 202!
3. Anatomy & Physiology Revealed (APR) - this is interactive, virtual cadaver dissection
software through McGraw-Hill, and it is amazing! Access to APR is included with your
purchase of Connect, and will be accessed through the Connect website. There is no
additional charge for APR.
4. LearnSmart Labs - these are virtual anatomy and physiology labs. Access to Learnsmart
Labs is included with your purchase of Connect, and will be accessed through the
Connect website. There is no additional charge for Learnsmart Labs.
5. Lab Dissection Kit - this kit will include biological specimens for hands-on dissection.
Purchase the BIO 201 kit at www.Sterlexlabs.com. If you will also be taking BIO 202, you
can save money by purchasing the BIO 201/202 combo kit, rather than purchasing
the two kits separately.
Computer Requirements
This is a fully online course; therefore, it requires a computer with internet access and the
following technologies:
• Web browser – Chrome, Firefox or Safari
• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• Adobe Flash Player
• Webcam, microphone, and speaker
• Microsoft Office (Microsoft 365 is free for all currently-enrolled ASU students)
• Reliable broadband internet connection (DSL or cable) to stream videos.
Note: A smartphone, iPad, Chromebook, etc. will not be sufficient for completing your work
in ASU Online courses. While you will be able to access course content with mobile devices,
you must use a computer for all assignments, quizzes, and virtual labs.
