BIO 160 - Mammalian Anatomy and Physiology

Credit Hours 4
Lecture: 3 Lab: 2
An introduction to the structure and function of the body comparing mammalian species: Canine, feline, equine, bovine and human. Major concepts emphasized are the support, movement, control, and maintenance of the mammalian body. Laboratory work will focus on the microscopic and macroscopic structure of selected tissues and organs, using slides, models, and dissection. This course is designed to provide an appropriate background in anatomy and physiology upon which students can build in subsequent courses as they acquire information specific to the anatomy and physiology of nonhuman species. This course is appropriate for students interested in veterinary technology, veterinary science or animal science. Students who are pregnant or may become pregnant during the course of the semester are strongly advised to consult their doctor before enrolling in this course. Prerequisite: Minimum grade “C” in BIO 149 or BIO 151; and placement into ENG 101 or minimum grade “C” in one of the following: ENG 021 and ENG 099; or ENG 022 and ENG 099; or the EAP course sequence ENG 079 and ENG 089, or ENG 096; and placement into MATH 098 or higher, or minimum grade “C” in MATH 094.
