Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Describe molecules, including the four groups of macromolecules, in terms of their general structure and function.
- Identify basic structures and functions of the cell.
- Identify body cavities and be able to use regional, directional and anatomical terms.
