Course Overview
Introduction to Human Structure and Function I
This course provides a foundational understanding of human anatomy and physiology, focusing on the structure and function of the human body. It is designed for students pursuing careers in health professions and covers both microscopic and gross anatomy, with an emphasis on physiological processes.
Course Code: BIOLOGY 226 OPR
Credit Hours: 4
Lecture Contact Hours: 6
Laboratory Contact Hours: 2
Semester: Fall 2025
Course Objectives
Learning Goals
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Identify relevant anatomical structures through various media (photographs, illustrations, models, microscope slides, biological specimens, digital 3D images).
Use appropriate scientific terminology to describe locations and structural characteristics of anatomy.
State the functions of anatomical structures.
Demonstrate understanding of step-wise sequences in physiological processes.
Explain the relationship between anatomy and physiology at various levels of organization.
Form conclusions and make predictions using scientific data and case studies by applying physiological principles.
Topical Outline
Main Topics Covered
The course is organized into the following major topics, each reflecting a chapter in the recommended textbook:
Tissues: Epithelial, Connective (including Blood)
Systems: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous
Each topic includes both anatomical and physiological perspectives, with laboratory activities supporting the theoretical content.

Class Policies
Use of AI and Academic Integrity
Use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, DALL-E) is not permitted unless explicitly authorized for specific assignments.
Academic dishonesty may result in penalties up to and including failure of the assignment or course.
Active Pursuit and Withdrawal
Students must actively participate in required sessions and complete assessments.
Administrative Withdrawal (ADW) may be assigned for lack of participation.
Student Conduct
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that supports the educational mission of the college.
Policies regarding attendance, withdrawal, and conduct are outlined in the CCC Student Policy Manual.
Additional Information
Support and Resources
Office hours and instructor contact information are provided for academic support.
College resources are available for students needing additional assistance.
Key Terms and Concepts
Definitions
Anatomy: The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.
Physiology: The study of the function of body parts and how they work to carry out life-sustaining activities.
Tissue: A group of similar cells that perform a common function.
System: A group of organs that work together to perform complex body functions.
Example: Levels of Organization in the Human Body
Chemical Level: Atoms and molecules
Cellular Level: Cells and their organelles
Tissue Level: Groups of similar cells
Organ Level: Contains two or more types of tissues
Organ System Level: Organs that work closely together
Organismal Level: All organ systems combined to make the whole organism
Example Formula: Homeostasis
Homeostasis is maintained by feedback mechanisms. A general formula for negative feedback is:
Negative feedback works to reduce the difference between the set point and the current value, maintaining stability in physiological systems.
