ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Anatomy 30
Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology

4 units: 2 hr. lecture, 6 hr. lab
Recommended preparation: eligibility for English 1A
Credit, degree applicable
Transfers to CSU & UC (UC credit limitation)

Comparative study of anatomy and physiology in the human and fetal pig. Includes dissection of the preserved fetal pig. The similarity of structure and function of the organ systems of human and pig are discussed. In addition, basic principles of histology, embryology, and genetics are included. This is an introductory general education course designed primarily for non-professional majors. It may meet the Anatomy requirements for the two-year RN and some other health related programs but is not designed to meet the requirements for the BSN and other pre-professional programs.  This course is highly recommended as an introductory course to Anatomy 32 and Physiology 31, which are the courses designed for the BSN and pre-professional student.

Anatomy 32
Principles of Human Anatomy

4 units: 2 hr. lecture, 6 hr. lab
