BIOL 221: Human Anatomy & Physiology I

Explore the multifaceted world of Systems Biology and the validity of different theories. Learn how Systems Biology goes beyond genomics to understand complex biological systems through interactions among their components. Uncover the essence of this field in understanding the symphony of life.

Explore what makes each element unique by focusing on the atomic components: protons neutrons and electrons. Learn why the number of protons known as the atomic number is the defining characteristic for each element's properties. Understand how protons set elements apart even as neutrons and electrons also play important roles.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity
