Course Description: Anatomy and Physiology 1 studies the basic systems of the human body both structure and function. Topics include basic chemistry, tissues, cells, and the integementary system, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems. How these systems interrelate, causes of disease, treatments and current issues will be included.

Course Grade: Grades will be determined based on the average of 4 objective exams (200 points) in class and 4 quizzes (50 points: for a total of 1000 points), 10 labs @20 points apiece and two Lab Practicals (lab grade is 40% of the final grade) Grading Scale: 1260-1400 = A: 1120-1259 = B: 980-1119 = C: 840-1079=D: <840 = F.
