The course objective is for students to analyze fundamental biological principles focusing on human anatomy, physiology, and genetics. Students study the structure and function of the human body, including systems responsible for support, protection, movement, and homeostasis. Key topics include the nervous and endocrine systems, sensory functions, and the role of body fluids in nutrient, protein, and cell transport. The course also examines the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems in relation to energy and bodily maintenance, as well as the processes of human development and genetic inheritance. Through real-world scenarios, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the biological mechanisms that sustain human life.
It is recommended that students complete this Human Biology lecture course simultaneously with the Human Biology Lab (SOPH-0067), so that they fully experience the application and real-world relevance of the subject.
