ANAT M01 Human Anatomy 4 Units
In-Class Hours: 52.5 lecture, 52.5 laboratory
Advisories/Rec Prep: BIOL M01 or BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH; and eligibility for ENGL C1000 or M01AH; and a course taught at the level of intermediate algebra or placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process
C-ID: BIOL 110B

Examines the anatomy of human organs and organ systems from a functional perspective that focuses on an understanding of the design of the human body. Teaches, in the laboratory setting, how to distinguish tissue types through histological specimens. Studies the three-dimensional relationship of body structures through required non-human mammalian dissection. Demonstrates, using human cadavers, the gross anatomy of the human body.

Advisories/Rec Prep: BIOL R101; or BIOL R101H; and BIOL R101L; and eligibility for ENGL C1000; and a course taught at the level of intermediate algebra or placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process
C-ID: BIOL 110B

This course is organized into two parts: lecture and laboratory. The lecture portion is an introduction to gross anatomy as well as organization and histology of human organ systems. The laboratory portion reinforces the lecture material and consists of hands-on experiments and demonstrations used to illustrate the principles and concepts of anatomy. These include but are not limited to microscope use, model and specimen examination, dissection of the cat as well as other livestock organs and demonstration of the dissected human cadaver. This course meets the requirements of students anticipating transfer to university, medical school, dental school, holistic medicine, kinesiology programs and other health care certificated programs.

Catalog Notes: Students taking anatomy are strongly advised to have previously completed the general biology lecture and laboratory courses if they have not already done so; general biology provides foundational knowledge of the scientific method, organisms, cellular organization, and laboratory procedures and equipment that students are expected to be familiar with upon entry to the course.

Formerly: ANAT 1
In-Class Hours: 52.5 lecture, 52.5 laboratory
Advisories/Rec Prep: BIOL V01 and BIOL V01L, or BIOL V03, or BIOL V12, or BUS V27A; and eligible for college-level English (ENGL C1000)
C-ID: BIOL 110B

This course is a survey of the gross anatomy and histology of the major human organ systems including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work includes observation of models, human organs, and tissues. A human cadaver is used for demonstration of the muscular, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, and urogenital systems.

Catalog Notes: This course is intended for nursing, allied health, kinesiology, and other health science related majors.
