BI 231Z Human Anatomy & Physiology I
Examines the structure and function of the human body through a body systems approach. Explores anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems at the relevant levels of biological organization (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system). Covers neurophysiology and excitable membranes. Includes foundational aspects such as anatomical terminology and homeostasis. This course includes a laboratory component.
NOTE: BI 231Z, BI 232Z, and BI 233Z may not be combined in sequence with BI 231, BI 232, and BI 233. Students who start the sequence with BI 231Z most continue with BI 232Z and BI 233Z. Z and non-Z versions of the courses are not combinable.

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Explain key homeostatic mechanisms and feedback loops in the integumentary and skeletal systems. Describe anatomical structures and their relationships to function in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular systems, and neural tissue. Explain key processes of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems and neural signaling. Relate the relevant levels of biological organization to the functions of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular systems, and neural tissue. Describe how the integumentary, skeletal, muscular systems, and neural tissue interact with other body systems. Apply physiological and/or anatomical concepts of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems, and neural tissue to practical scenarios such as clinical, public health, and societal issues. Identify major structures in tissues, integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems using lab materials.
