Course Outline

I: Catalog Course Description

Provides students with an intense descriptive overview of anatomy and physiology with related, illustrative pathology and microbiology.

II: Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of BIOL 200/204, Elements of Human Anatomy and Physiology, a student will have a basic (one semester, non-lab-based course) knowledge of the human integumentary, muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, pulmonary, digestive, urinary, immune, and reproductive systems, and their applications to human health, pathology and some fundamental applied microbiology (to each organ system).

III: Course Linkage

Linkage of course to educational program mission and at least one educational program outcome.

General Education Mission: BIOL 200/204 is a general education course that provides students with critical life skills that will benefit them in their personal and professional endeavors. Students who successfully complete BIOL 200 satisfy the following general education learning outcome: understand at an introductory level the role of science and technology as it applies to the human body. A.A.S. Health Information Technology (HIT) Program Mission: BIOL 200 is a required course for the A.A.S. HIT emphasis degree program and satisfies the program mission to "… provide students with the technical component of providing a variety of health information services …". A.A.S. HIT Program Student Learning Outcome: Students who successfully complete BIOL 200 will satisfy one A.A.S. program outcome: students will enter the job market with specific skills and knowledge useful for employment and advancement. C.P. Surgical Technology (SRGT) Program Mission: BIOL 200 is a required course for the C.P. SRGT program and satisfies the program mission that students "… will benefit from "hands-on" laboratory experience within their major field…" of study. Students who successfully complete BIOL 200 will satisfy one C.P. program outcome: students will demonstrate that they know the subject matter appropriate to the emphasis of the certificate. BIOL 200 does not fulfill any specific AA, AS or AGS degree program at WNC. General Education Student Learning Outcome: Students who successfully complete BIOL 200/204 satisfy the general education learning outcome of understanding the role of science and technology [in health care] in the modern world.
