This course provides a clinical chemistry background for students interested in gaining a very basic understanding of the human body. The course assumes no prior knowledge of chemistry and covers such beginning topics as atomic and molecular structure, and then relates this material to human anatomy and physiology. Common diseases which are the result of abnormal body chemistry are studied. Laboratory includes field ecology and classification of forest, field, and other economically important crops in addition to morphological and anatomical study of the major plant organs. Credits Study of the gross and microscopic anatomy of various human systems, emphasizing how structure facilitates function.
Attention is given to the chemistry accompanying function.
Various sense organs are investigated in connection with the nervous system. Required laboratories offer opportunities for additional experiences with each of these systems. Special emphasis on phyla of importance to agriculture. Comparative study among phyla of tissues and organ systems, from morphological and physiological point of view. A one credit recitation course to provide enhancement, review and discussion of topics covered in Anatomy and Physiology.
