Welcome to the course!
This course and its companion course, Human Anatomy and Physiology 1220, deal with the relationship between structure and function in human biology.
Lectures emphasize basic concepts in biology and the role of the major organ systems of the human body. Laboratory activities examine anatomical relationships and the physiological functioning of human organs.
A learning community
This semester I will be running two sections of the course. You have signed up for either the
Online section (with three face to face "anatomy boot camps")
or the
Blended section where every week we meet face to face on Tuesdays 8:30AM - 12:30 PM and on Zoom Thursday mornings.

The Online section
The Online section is a self-study course with no formal lectures. As a learner you will use materials such as the textbook, website, videos etc to gain the required knowledge. There will be weekly office hours for you to bring your questions or where we can covered some topics or concepts. These office hours are not formal lectures but rather a learning aid or a place to get some help with the material. In addition, we will have three "Anatomy Boot Camps" . During the Friday and Saturday of each Anatomy Boot Camp we will doing the required labs for the course. Please note the Anatomy Boot Camps are a mandatory part of the course - you must attend.

The Blended section
Our course will follow a "flipped" classroom model. In a flipped course you learn much of the material before a class, using various resources. Our online and In-class time will focus on the key knowledge and concepts of each chapter.
This website is the core learning centre for our course. Each chapter will have a webpage (or pages) with the chapter objectives, downloadable study notes and lecture related videos.
You work your way through the material before we all meet online and in-person as a class . Our Zoom and in-class meetings will focus on going over areas of content that you need a hand with or for other activities, such as case studies and labs.
For many this will challenge how they learn but it does provide an exciting opportunity to empower yourself as a learner.
