Course Description
BIOL2201 (and BIOL2207) Human Structure and Function is designed as an introductory course in human anatomy and physiology, and includes structured theoretical and practical components designed to provide students with a well-balanced overview and introduction to the human body. This course has been designed specifically for students as a fully-online introductory course, and students who do this course do not need any prior learning in anatomy and physiology. The theory developed will be supplemented by self-directed and practical material as well as access to a number of online resources.
