BIOS 251 Anatomy & Physiology I with Lab

This Chamberlain course is the first in a four-course sequence in which human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach. Coursework emphasizes interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. Topics include basic anatomical and directional terminology, muscle tissues, fundamental concepts and principles of cell biology, history and the integumentary and skeletal systems...

Laboratory exercises will complement the course material to combine, integrate and relate the basic facts and concepts acquired in the lectures. These activities are designed to promote critical thinking and application skills. Wherever possible, emphasis should be placed on the use of life experiences, plausible clinical situations and common diagnostic problems, thus drawing upon the students' analytical and organizational powers.
