Course Description
BIO 240 provides an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the nervous, skeletal, muscular, and digestive systems. Fundamental principles addressed throughout the course include (1) maintenance and regulation of homeostasis, (2) communication and control processes throughout the body, (3) integration and interdependence across organ systems, (4) structure-function relationships, and (5) anatomical and physiological adaptation. Students should come to this course with an understanding of the concept of structure-function relationships in biology, the importance of chemical pathways in and between cells, and what it means for a gene, protein, or other structure to be evolutionarily conserved.
