Undergraduate Human Anatomy and Physiology is an interdisciplinary, two-semester course covering the anatomy & physiology of the major systems of the human body. This course is specifically designed for students interested in the health sciences who need a strong foundational understanding of how the human body systems work both individually and in concert. In ANPS 1200 we will focus cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, digestive, urinary, endocrine and reproductive systems. Course Objectives Include: 1. Provide a common anatomical and physiological language for communication within the health science community. 2. Recognize anatomical structures and explain physiological functions of body systems. 3. Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures. 4. Understand key physiological principles which regulate normal organ function. 5. Recognize & explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body. 6. Make a strong connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and disease states.

The course is lecture-based and meets three days per week. Each week there is an online laboratory assignment and a quiz on the lecture material. There are three Monday night exams in the course (dates listed in the Schedule of Courses) and a non-cumulative final exam given during final exam week. To perform at a high level, students should expect to spend 2 hours on course material for every hour spent in class, and 2-4 hours per week mastering each online laboratory assignment.

There will be 4 exams covering the lecture and lab material; all exams are non-cumulative, and multiple choice in format. Grades will be based on a weighted average including lecture exams, lab exams, lab assignments, and weekly quizzes.
