This course introduces students to the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Students examine the mechanisms of body function, organized around the central theme of homeostasis – how the body meets changing demands while maintaining the internal constancy necessary for all cells and organs to function. Course content focuses on cell and tissue anatomy and physiology, and systems (and organs within these systems) including the integumentary, nervous, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems. Components related to exercise physiology will be integrated throughout the course. Students are encouraged to take the companion course, KINE 101.

Prerequisite(s): Biology 12 or BIOL 060 at Yukon University or special permission from the instructor.
