COURSE DESCRIPTION:
BSC 2093C is the first of two courses dealing with the anatomy and physiology of the human body. In this course we will use a systems approach, meaning that both the anatomy and the physiology of a system will be covered together. Tissues, structure and functions of the Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, endocrine, and nervous systems, and organs of special senses are emphasized. Lab exercises reinforce anatomic and physiologic principles associated with classroom work.

Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 15th edition, by Tortora/Derrickson
1 pack of green scantron sheet (Form NO. 882-E)
