BIO 150 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I

The first in a sequence of two foundational courses in the structure and function of the human body. This course is required for Physical Therapy, Nursing, and Occupational Therapy majors; it is offered every spring semester and during the summer. A systems level approach is used to study general histology, and integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. The laboratory component of the course (BIO 150L)is a co-requisite that reinforces the principles learned in lecture with hands-on experiences in physiology using state-of-the-art digital instrumentation, computer simulations, animal dissection and human dissection. Note: In keeping with New York State Department of Health Regulations, one section of BIO 150L each semester will be designated for students who are not enrolled in allied health profession majors or minors, and will not include a human dissection component.
