BIO-110L Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology Lab

This hands-on laboratory course is intended for students pursuing the A.S. Physical Education & Exercise Science program. Students will perform experiments that integrate and apply fundamental concepts learned in the lecture portion of BIO-110 Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Analyses will be done at both microscopic and macroscopic levels utilizing representative anatomical models. Sample laboratory skills that students will practice include tissue microscopy, bone and muscle identification, organ dissection, and cardiovascular and respiratory measurements.
