BIOL 208 Human Anatomy and Physiology I (Lec/Lab)

A study of the structure and function of the human body, including gross and micro-anatomy. Physiological principles at the organ system and organ levels are emphasized. Focus on integumentary, skeletal, muscular nervous, and endocrine systems. (In the BIOL 208 - BIOL 209 sequence, only BIOL 208 will count for major or minor credit.)
