GENERAL COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Introduce students to the structures and functions of the human body.
Emphasize homeostatic mechanisms, chemical, metabolic, and physical
principles, in relationship to the organization, growth, development, metabolism
and health of the normal individual. Topics are a continuation of Zoology 141 and
include focus on neural and endocrine regulation, the cardiovascular system,
respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.
