Introduction to Human Anatomy

NBAN 205
3 credit hours


An introductory human anatomy course that uses a combined regional and systemic approach to examine the relationships and organization of the major structures within the thorax, abdomen, head/neck, and back/limbs regions of the body. Students will learn the fundamentals of human anatomy relevant for clinical application.


The emphasis of the course is on gross anatomy, with relevant microanatomy taught as needed. A systems approach is used to prepare students to understand relationships among structures that contribute to the functioning of organ systems. A combination of lecture and interactive learning activities will help to develop student knowledge and critical thinking skills as applied to anatomical terminology and concepts.

Online Human Anatomy

NBAN 206          NBAN 206 U/L
1 credit hour        2 credit hours


An introductory virtual human anatomy lab that complements NBAN 205. Prosections will be shown in each region of the body enabling the organs and structures to be displayed fully and clearly.


The one hour lab course will complement NBAN 205 and will be sufficient for most students. The two hour lab course (U/L) includes additional modules (upper and lower limbs) and will help students interested in preparing for professional schools such as medical, dental or physical therapy.


This lab may also be used to complete course requirements for other lecture courses.


Prerequisite: One semester of introductory undergraduate biology. A general anatomy course such as NBAN 205 is recommended, which can be taken before or concurrent with the lab course.


Syllabus: Click here for NBAN 206 syllabus or NBAN 206 U/L syllabus.

Course Success: The student should be in college now or previously and have completed one semester of college biology. This is a semester-based course with scheduled exams. Students should allow reasonable time for this course depending on their situation (current course load, work schedule, military obligations, etc.).
