BIO 160 - Anatomy and Physiology (Vet Tech)

Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 3-2-4
Anatomy and physiology for Veterinary Technology students. An introduction to the structure, comparison and function of human and other mammalian animals for students in the Veterinary Technology program. Major concepts involved in the support, movement, control, and maintenance of the body are emphasized. 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 veterinary technology students can build in subsequent courses as they acquire information specific to the anatomy and physiology of nonhuman species. 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.
