Courses
MFSP 551S Human Function 3.0 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the functions and processes required to maintain the stable internal environment required for normal cell function. Several key themes will be examined throughout the course, including homeostasis and various feedback mechanisms. Each organ system of the body is examined from a physiological standpoint, building upon concepts illustrating how these systems are functionally integrated. This course is closely coordinated with MFSP-552S (Structure of the Human Body), to facilitate an understanding of physiology as it relates to human anatomy.
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
Restrictions: Can enroll if major is CRSC or major is FS or major is IHS.
MFSP 552S Structure of the Human Body 3.0 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with a solid basis in human anatomy. The structural basis of the body’s organ systems are examined and discussed – from the cellular to the tissue to the gross level. This course is closely coordinated with MFSP-551S (Human Function), enabling students who simultaneously matriculate into both to enjoy an integrated presentation of the structure and function of the human body. Anatomic complexes and key structural details of relevance to forensic science are discussed.
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
Restrictions: Can enroll if major is CRSC or major is FS or major is IHS.
MFSP 553S Human Structure Lab 1.0 Credit
The Human Structure lab enables students taking MFSP-522S (Structure of the Human Body) to examine human anatomical specimens including gross anatomical prosections and microscopic images. Structures of particular importance to the forensic professional are emphasized.
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
Restrictions: Can enroll if major is CRSC or major is FS or major is IHS.
