Medical Terminology (SBL 141)

An introductory study of medical terminology presented as background for work in the health professions. Course format is programmed self-instruction.

Fall and spring semesters. 1 credit.

Human Anatomy & Physiology I (SBL 214)

A detailed study of the structure and function of the human body. Anatomical studies include gross, histological, and cytological perspectives and are correlated with physiology. Functional studies emphasize homeostatic, regulatory, and integrative mechanisms. Pathophysiological processes are compared with normal anatomy and physiology. Course is designed to meet the requirements of allied health majors (dietetics, medical technology, physician assistant, pre-physical or pre-occupational therapy). Prerequisite: at least one semester of college chemistry or one year of high school chemistry.

Corequisite: SBL215. Fall semester. 3 credits.

Human Anatomy & Physiology I Lab (SBL 215)

Designed to reinforce concepts learned in SBL214. Topics include: histology, gross anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, physiology of nerves and skeletal muscle, cardiovascular physiology, analysis of blood and urine, digestive enzymes, effects of drugs on heart function.

Corequisite: SBL214. Fall semester. 1 credit. Fee.

Human Anatomy & Physiology II (SBL 216)

Continuation of topics begun in SBL214. Corequisite: SBL217.

Prerequisite: SBL214. Spring semester. 3 credits.

Human Anatomy & Physiology II (SBL 217)

A survey course exploring such topics as microbial cell biology, microbial genetics, the interaction of microbes and hosts in symbiotic and pathogenic relationships, the role of microbes and the environment, microbial diversity, microbial evolution, and applied microbiology (including antibiotic resistance, bioremediation, and food microbiology). Primarily for majors in Biology and Nutrition and Dietetics. Prerequisites: SCH100, SCH110, or one semester of college-level chemistry; and SBL160, SBL162, or SBL214.

Corequisite: SBL219. Spring semester. 3 credits.
