First Year Courses
The Human Body
The Human Body is a twelve week course which begins in the summer quarter and continues until the middle of the autumn quarter. The course provide students with a conceptual foundation of the biological structure and function of the human body at the gross, tissue, cellular, and subcellular levels of organization. In addition, students gain an appreciation of the embryological, historical, and functional components that underlie adult human form, begin to understand principles of body organization, not merely to memorize and Catalogue details of structure, and to acquire a vocabulary for describing and interpreting structural and functional processes of the body. In the summer quarter, this course meets five days per week for both lectures and lab sessions. In the autumn quarter, this course meets through October 21. The exams are both multiple choice and practical by identification of anatomical components.
