Anatomy and Physiology
Three courses must be completed to fulfill this requirement. 

Human or Invertebrate Anatomy, Human or mammalian physiology, and pathophysiology. 

At CMU these courses are:

Biology
HSC 214 or BIO 337
HSC 215 or BIO 392
HSC 411

Anatomy
Human Anatomy (HSC 214)
Introductory course in structure of the human body. Laboratory work in fundamental anatomical principles is included.

Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy (BIO 337)
An anatomical survey to illustrate the major morphological characteristics of and changes that have occurred within the phylum cordate with an emphasis on the vertebrates. Ontogenetic and evolutionary trends are developed within the framework of functional morphology and adaptation.

Physiology
Human Physiology (HSC 215)
An introductory course in function and control systems of the human body. Laboratory work in fundamental physiological principles is included.

Mammalian Physiology (BIO 392)
The functioning of the mammalian body and its component parts.

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology (HSC 411)
Study of body's physiological responses to disease states. Emphasis is placed on the interactions among body systems and the alterations in homeostatic mechanisms.
