General Course Information
The human anatomy and physiology courses at the University of Montana encompass a two semester sequence which integrates the structural and functional aspects of the human body. The first semester course covers general organization of the body, basic biochemistry and cellular processes, basic histology, the integument, and the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The second semester covers hormones, blood, basic immunology, and the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
The courses consist of lecture and lab components, with the lab based on prosected cadavers, simple physiological experiments, and computer simulations. The laboratory portion of the class generally focuses on structure, while the lectures focus more upon functional processes. These courses predominantly serve students majoring in pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy, other pre-health care professions, and health and human performance.
The courses enroll approximately 200 students each semester. This enrollment figure is limited by the size of the lecture rooms available on campus and funding resources for laboratory sections.
