What will I learn?
Sequence Overview: The anatomy and physiology sequence consists of three courses, BIO231Z, BIO232Z and BIO233Z. Each course has a lecture and laboratory component; and a single cumulative grade is assigned for each course. Lecture courses focus on microscopic and systemic anatomy and physiology, while laboratory exercises emphasize hands-on exploration of gross anatomy.
Credits: Each course is 4 quarter credits (12 quarter credits total for the full sequence). For transfer to the semester-based institutions, three quarter credits are equivalent to two semester credits. There are approximately 30 hours in each lecture course and 30 hours in each laboratory course (180 hours per course sequence).
Prerequisites: To enter the sequence, students must complete BIO 112 – Integrated Chemistry and Cell Biology for Health Occupations. Exceptions may be granted for students with prior science coursework or relevant clinical experience. To progress through the sequence, students must successfully complete each course before enrolling in the next.
