Details about this class

Hello! Thank you for your interest in BI 231 - Human Anatomy & Physiology I

This course examines the structure and function of the human body through a body systems approach. We will explore anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems at the relevant levels of biological organization (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system). We will also cover neurophysiology and excitable membranes. 

Here is some information about the upcoming course:

This class will have two weekly meetings:

  • Lecture meets Tuesdays from 10:00 AM- 1:50 PM in JH 107. 
  • Lab meets on Thursdays from 10:00 AM- 1:50 PM in JH 110. 

This is a flipped model hybrid course.  Each week, there will be pre-recorded student-guided lessons with embedded HTML5 package interactives for pre-lecture homework, multiple-attempt pre-lab homework assignments, and lab quizzes to complete.  Lecture meetings are devoted to active learning, problem-solving, and assessments. 

PLEASE NOTE, regarding required textbooks:  

  • The 10th edition of "Anatomy & Physiology: Form and Function" by Kenneth Saladin, McGraw-Hill. Older versions, as far back as the 5th edition, are sufficient.
  •  The BI 231 Lab Success Guide has a free, fillable version with a drawing pad in our D2L Brightspace course shell, so you do not need to purchase the one from the bookstore.
