J.	Course Description: This course is an introductory study of life processes and biological principles. Special reference to the human organism is used in describing the nature of life-sustaining functions. Cellular function and the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems are introduced. Laboratory experiences are designed to supplement the lecture topics and include microscopy, the study of models, specimen dissection, cadaver study and physiological experiments. (OTM approved course in Natural Sciences TMNS)
