Hello and welcome to our class! 

This is a first part of the Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology course where we will talk about atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, four organ systems (integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous), and special senses.

 

Textbooks 

During the term, we will use two textbooks – one for the lecture and one for the lab. 

Lecture

You have two options to choose from:

(1) you can purchase or rent 3rd edition of “Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology” written by K. Saladin and R. Farland and published in 2022; it can be a new or used paper copy or electronic text.

* This textbook comes in two versions: with Connect online resources and without it. Connect is not required for our course, and you can get a textbook without it.

(2) you can use a free electronic OER OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology text posted in D2L and also found here:
