Course Question & AnswerHuman Anatomy
Purpose of Course showclose
A thorough understanding of the systems of the body and the ways in which they fit together is imperative for study in many fields of biological inquiry, including medicine, physiology, developmental studies, and biological anthropology. This course will provide you with an overview of the body from a systemic perspective. Each unit will focus on one system, or network of organs that work together to perform a particular function. At the end of this course, we will review the body from an integrative perspective, creating a more realistic vision of the ways in which the systems overlap. We will also discuss current body imaging techniques and learn how to correctly interpret the images in order to put our newly-gained anatomical knowledge to practical use.
This is a terminology-heavy course. We will identify tissues and organ systems according to their functional and regional contexts, but information concerning the processes by which the tissues and organ systems actually function will be covered in BIO304: Human Physiology.
Pre-requisites: To receive credit for this course, you are required to complete BIO101: Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology. Co-requisite: Human Anatomy Lab.
Learning Outcomes showclose
- Identify gross and microscopic anatomy and explain interactions of the major organ systems in the human body.
- Perform and analyze experiments in human anatomy (virtual).
- Use language necessary to appropriately describe human anatomy.
- Explain and identify how structure and function complement each other.
- Describe how anatomy relates to medical situations in healthy and diseased states.

Unit 1: Introduction to Anatomy
This unit will provide you with a quick overview of the body in order to contextualize the subsequent units. We will begin by covering directional terminology and surface anatomy and conclude by identifying each organ system and its respective functions. Upon completion of this unit, you should have a clear understanding of human anatomy at its broadest level.

Unit 2: Integumentary System
The integumentary system (which is primarily comprised of the skin) covers the organ systems of the body, providing structure, insulation, and a first line of defense against infection. In this unit, we will study the integumentary system by taking a close look at the structure of skin, hair, nails, and cutaneous glands. Upon completion of this unit, you should understand why the skin lays on the body as it does and be able to explain the functional importance of the integumentary system.

Unit 4: Muscular System
Muscles hold the skeletal framework together, enable us to move, and allow us to react to our environment. In this unit, we will learn about muscular tissues at the microscopic level before reviewing muscle naming conventions and learning the names of all of the major muscles in the body (by region and by function). Upon completion of this unit, you should be able to identify which muscles work together in groups and how an injury to one muscle can affect the function of others.

Unit 5: Nervous System
The nervous system regulates both unconscious reflexes and intentional movements. We will begin this unit by studying nerve cells and their supporting matrix. Then, we will look at the gross anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Specifically, you will learn the lobes of the brain, the 12 cranial nerves that connect the brain to the spinal cord, and the functional regions of the spinal cord. We will also study the autonomic nerve network, which regulates visceral function (i.e. breathing and digestion) as well at the somatic nerve network, which regulates intentional movements and reflexes.

Unit 6: Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The heart and blood work together to circulate oxygen and nutrition to all parts of the body. In this unit, we will study the properties of cardiac muscle, the chambers of the heart, and the various layers that comprise a blood vessel. We will also learn about the body’s networks of blood vessels in order to gain an understanding of the way in which blood circulates throughout the body.

Unit 7: Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is a major factor the body’s immune response. The lymphatic system allows immune cells, or lymphocytes, to travel all over the body in lymphatic fluid—from the lymph nodes, through the blood, and beyond the capillaries directly to the site of infection. Lymphatic vessels serve as an accessory to the blood vessels in this circulatory process. In this unit, we will look closely at the properties of lymphatic fluid and the immune cells it transports before learning the names and functions of the lymphatic organs and studying how lymph travels through the body.

Unit 8: Respiratory System
When you breathe, the organs and tissues of your respiratory system are working together in one cooperative action known as the breathing mechanism. Breathing enables you to capturing oxygen from the air that can then distributed throughout the body via the blood so that cellular respiration can take place. In this unit, we will study the functional structures that constitute the respiratory system, including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and pleurae.

Unit 9: Digestive System
Digestion allows you to extract useful nutrients from your food. The digestive process begins as soon as you put food into your mouth, when your teeth and saliva begin to break down food items into more manageable sizes, and continues into the stomach and intestines. In this unit we will familiarize ourselves with the names and functions of each organ in the digestive system. We will also learn about the structures of the unique tissues and glands that enable us to absorb nutrients from food.

Unit 10: Urinary System
The urinary system allows us to excrete potentially toxic wastes from our bodies without losing the water-salt balance that our physiological processes require. We will begin by studying the structure of the primary organ of the urinary system: the kidney. You will learn that the kidney is solely responsible for the complex process of filtration. We will then familiarize ourselves with the body’s urine storage and transportation centers (the bladder, ureters, and urethra).
