Biology 235: Human Anatomy and Physiology is a six-credit, university-level course that covers all major elements of the human body, including basic anatomy, fundamental organic chemistry, cellular structure and function, and the integration, organization, and control of the body system. While completing this course, you will acquire an understanding of normal anatomy and physiology, of physiological adaptations to special conditions, and of some of the physiological factors in disease processes.

There are no prerequisites for Biology 235; however, we strongly recommend that students have a solid knowledge of basic chemistry and anatomy or biology (Chemistry 30 and Biology 30, or their equivalents, provide a good background).

Note: This is not an introductory biology course. As there are no laboratory activities associated with Human Anatomy and Physiology, it will not be accepted as a “lab science” course.

Biology 235 is based on an excellent textbook and its accompanying learning guide. The Study Guide for this course contains only the learning objectives that students must be able to fulfill after completing each chapter, and a list of the key terms that students must learn.
