Students will investigate the structure and function of human body systems, including autonomic, sensory, endocrine, reproductive, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, and renal systems. The course will also cover concepts pertaining to blood, immunity and human development. The curriculum is inquiry based and fully integrated with laboratory and/or field experiences which emphasize active learning strategies. 

The course will be delivered in a flexible format. Students learn about the different human anatomy and physiology concepts by completing activities both in-class and on-line. In-class sessions are conducted either on a Friday evening or on a Saturday. In-between sessions, students access on-line activities on the course web site and communicate, discuss, or interact with others using an asynchronous communication tool called the WebBoard. 

Student learning will be assessed using traditional and alternative strategies that include completion of two objective and hands-on exams, group case study analysis, participation in on-line discussions, and  a comprehensive case study.
