This course is mainly concerned with principles of human anatomy and physiology. It is concerned with the study of the internal and external structures of the human body. It describes the structures from the smallest constituent part, the cell, to the major tissues, organs and complex systems of the human body. This course also discusses how the delicate machinery of the human body operates in relation to the structures. It makes students understand how a system of the body works as well as how it interacts with other parts of the body. It also invites the students to the journey of physiological processes, sensations, adaptations, disorders, and explanations which make us understand ourselves better. Students will learn through reading, virtual discussions, video lessons, case studies, collaborative group work, interactive laboratory activities and others.

The laboratory portion of the course is an integral part of the education in anatomy and physiology. It provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and general physiology. The worksheets engage students in activities that are defined as pre-lab, in-lab and post-lab, all the while challenging the students to use their lab experiences to enhance their knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Students will be responsible for proper use of laboratory equipment, laboratory reports, research and group projects assigned throughout each unit. Dissection of model animal organisms such as frog, laboratory mice and other appropriate organs will complement the course.  Systems to be studied include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and special senses.
