Program Overview
Anatomy and Physiology 1 Lab (HA&P1-457-DL) is an online asynchronous lab course that complements HA&P 1 by focusing on the structure, biology, and function of cells, tissues, and organs. It covers various systems using virtual construction tools, simulations, and bi-weekly labs. The course offers flexibility, allowing students to complete activities on their own schedule. It utilizes unique approaches like virtual construction tools and interactive simulations for a deeper understanding of anatomical structures and their function.
