Course Description

This course is a comprehensive study of the structure of the human body. It is designed primarily for students preparing for careers in nursing, physical therapy, and other health care fields. It must be taken concurrently with BIOL 2325. Lecture and lab sections must be the same. For example, if a student enrolls in BIOL 2320.001, that student must enroll in BIOL 2325.001.

Justification

Each year, about 450 Snow College students declare nursing, physical therapy, or other healthcare fields as their goal. Human Anatomy with a lab is a prerequisite for these programs.Human anatomy is taught as a separate course at Utah's other colleges and universities.

Student Learning Outcomes

  1. Explore from the perspective of the scientific method human anatomy concepts.
  2. Explain how anatomy concepts relate to the natural world and to the human experience.
  3. Obtain a basic understanding of gross anatomy structures and associated names and locations.

Course Content

Course content will be covered by reading assignments from various sources (articles from multiple sources, essays, handouts, lectures, and a study guide), lectures, and class discussions. Content to be covered includes, but is not limited to, human anatomy, both microscopic and gross, organ systems, scientific terminology, and basic healthcare principles correlated to the area of the body covered. Representation of a wide range of human body types, genders, ages, and other physical attributes is used to assist the student in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the human body.
