Anatomy & Physiology (ANAT)

ANAT 10A  Introductory Human Anatomy

4 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC, C-ID #: BIOL 110B)
UC Credit Limitation
Lecture: 54   Lab: 54
Advisory: BIOL 1

Macroscopic and microscopic structures of the human body. Emphasis on gross and microscopic structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems from cellular to organ system levels of organization. Comparison of normal, aging, and diseased structures. This course is primarily intended for nursing, allied health careers such as respiratory technician and radiology technology, kinesiology, and other health related majors.

ANAT 35  Human Anatomy

5 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC)
UC Credit Limitation
Lecture: 54   Lab: 108
Prerequisite: BIOL 1 or BIOL 4 or BIOL 4H

Study of the anatomy of the human body. The development, structure and components of organ systems of the body will be studied at the gross and histological levels. Laboratory study will include the use of human anatomical models and human skeletons as well as the observation of prosected human cadavers and prepared histology slides.

5 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC)
UC Credit Limitation
Lecture: 54   Lab: 108
Prerequisite: (BIOL 1 or BIOL 4 or BIOL 4H) and ANAT 35 and (CHEM 10 or CHEM 40)

Human physiology at the cellular and molecular levels covering muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, renal, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Includes regulation and integration of organ systems where appropriate.

ANAT 38  Pathophysiology

3 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC)
Lecture: 54   
Prerequisite: (ANAT 10B or ANAT 36) and (MICR 1 or MICR 22)

Alterations in homeostasis and cellular function and diseases of bodily systems. Emphasis is placed on a comparison between disease states and structure and function in healthy individuals.

Course Schedule

ANAT 40A  Human Prosection

2 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU)
Lab: 108
Prerequisite: ANAT 35 and Instructor approval required

ANAT40A is an advanced course in human anatomy in which students prosect anatomical specimens from university Willed Body Programs for use in demonstrations in Anat 35 and Anat 40 classes. Students learn techniques for human prosection while exploring regional superficial and deep human muscles and joints at the gross level. Anatomy 40A and 40B must be taken to receive credit for college level prosection. Students can only earn the Human Prosection Certificate by taking ANAT 40A and ANAT 40B.

Course Schedule

ANAT 40B  Human Prosection

2 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU)
Lab: 108
Prerequisite: ANAT 40A

Techniques for human prosection. Regional exploration of the human organ systems at the gross level with emphasis on the organs, blood vessels and nerves of the body cavities.

Course Schedule

ANAT 99  Special Projects in Anatomy

2 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU)
Lecture: 36   
Prerequisite: Approved Independent Study Learning Contract

Offers selected students recognition for their academic interest in anatomy and the opportunity to explore the discipline of anatomy in greater depth. The content of the course and the methods of study vary from semester to semester and depend on the particular project under consideration. Instructor's authorization is required to enroll in this course.
