Human Anatomy - BIOL 170
Human Anatomy - BIOL 170
This course is a comprehensive introduction to the structure of the human body. It provides a foundation that is key for students in the health sciences. It also serves students interested in non-human biology by using the best known vertebrate (man) to show how an organism is structured. The course focuses on macroscopic anatomy, but it also offers notions of cellular and molecular structure. Some aspects of evolutionary history and clinical application are also discussed.

We use the free Openstax book as our first reference and complement it with additional materials as necessary for the anatomy preparation in our program. This book is designed for a one-year course though with anatomy and physiology mixed together. We offer these two courses in separate semesters, therefore we created a customized version of the book having the anatomy portion only and with the contents organized in the order in which we cover them. You will find the customized version in canvas when classes start.
If you would like to have a printed copy of the book, you can purchase it from Pacific's Bookstore (~$52 new, but used and rental options are available) or from Amazon. It is not the customized version, so
although the anatomy contents are the same, they are arranged in a different order and the book also contains sections on physiology. Anatomy and Physiology, 2022. OpenStax College, Rice University. ISBN-10: 1711494062, ISBN-13: 978-1711494067. This is the second edition but the first one should also work.

The handouts for this course are compiled in a package called the Notebook (~250 pages). You can download the pdf for free from the course's main page in canvas and print it out or take notes on it electronically.
In anatomy we will draw lots of structures though. If you prefer the convenience of drawing on paper, you can purchase a spiral-bound hard copy at production cost.
IMPORTANT: Check the shipping time before you purchase. Some options can take more than two weeks.
