Suffolk County Community College
College Course Syllabus for BIO130
I.
Course Title:
Anatomy and Physiology I
II.
Catalog Description:
Basic principles of the structure and function of the human body are discussed in
depth for each of the organ systems. Physiology is presented from both a biochemical
and organismal point of view. Basic understanding of chemistry, physics and
mathematics is introduced where useful and necessary for understanding these biological
phenomena. Special attention to the application of these principles and concepts to
health-related areas. A 2-semester sequence (3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory).
III.
Course Goals:
Students will understand the basic scientific structure and function of the human
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems at the cellular, histological,
organ, and systemic levels.
IV.
Outcome Behaviors:
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
A. Apply the scientific method,
1. by designing experiments to test formulated hypotheses,
2. by solving problems with the correct use of appropriate scientific
notation and equipment,
3. by quantifying (observing, describing, measuring, and calculating)
various empirical phenomena,
4. and by logically reaching valid conclusions based on these data through
critical analysis and interpretation.
B. Describe how the basic structure of inorganic elements is energetically
organized through chemical bonding into organic biochemical compounds
that constitute the anatomy of the human body and its maintenance of
homeostasis.
C. Explain the relationship between structure and function at each level of
organization of the body for cells; tissues; and the integumentary, skeletal,
muscular, and nervous systems.
D. Identify, locate and classify various anatomical structures in the skeletal,
muscular, and nervous systems at the cellular, histological, organ, and
systemic levels of organization.
E. Describe and explain selected physiological processes at the cellular,
histological, organ, and systemic levels of organization, as they apply to
cells; tissues; and structures in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and
nervous systems, and the maintenance of homeostasis in these systems.
F. Use correct and appropriate anatomical and directional terminology and
descriptions as well as scientific terminology in general, as they apply to
cells; tissues; and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous
systems, and the human body in general.
G. Identify and explain how selected pathologic conditions apply to the normal
structure and functions of the topic being studied.
