BIOL 1010Anatomy for Health Professionals2
Note: this class is a prerequisite for other classes. It is recommended you take this as soon as possible in your phase. This course aims to acquaint students with basic human biology and the human body's major anatomical systems. Basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology is an indispensable component of midwifery training. This course covers the identification and essential functions of various body systems, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. There is also a discussion on how pregnancy affects these body systems. Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate a general understanding of the organization of the human body. 2. Name and briefly describe the major body systems that work to keep the human body in homeostasis. 3. Demonstrate familiarity with and apply common directional terminology relating to human anatomy. 4. Apply introductory chemistry to an understanding of human anatomy and physiology. 5. Demonstrate familiarity with the human cell’s major structures, describe their functions, and illustrate the cell life cycle. 6. Demonstrate an introductory understanding of the anatomy and physiology of human integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. 7. Describe significant types of pathogens and modes of transmission and ways of preventing transmission of infection, including universal precautions, sterilization, and disinfection.
In this course, you will review reproductive anatomy and related hormones. You will examine the pelvis and its supporting structures, and how they relate to pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. You will explore embryo and fetal development and identify vulnerable periods for teratogens. Additionally, you will interpret fetal anatomy relating to birth and newborn adjustment.
BIOL 2030Hidden Organisms: Applied Microbiology for Midwives1
Offered limited terms (may be required by some states for licensure) Students study various pathogens and the role they play in well-person and perinatal health. Students receive a basic overview of the fundamentals of microbiology, including laboratory techniques, microbial characteristics, and control of infections and drug resistance. Students gain understanding of the normal flora of the reproductive system, GI tract, urinary tract, and skin. This course is practical for midwives because it focuses on etiology, identification, and treatment of infections that are relevant to well-person and perinatal care. In addition, it gives some perspective on the course of treatment prescribed by physicians. This information will - 13 -

BIOL 2050The Science of Nutrition2
In this course, you will examine the relationship between reproductive health and nutrition, including the benefits and risks of supplements. You will apply measures to address symptoms and/or illness linked to nutritional inadequacy. And you will explore diet in accordance with the personal needs, systemic means, and cultural preferences, while creating resources for your midwifery practice. Learning Objectives: 1. Identify biochemical responses in the body relating to nutrition using a written assignment. 2. Construct written nutrient overviews of macro and micronutrients. 3. Determine overlaps between symptoms/conditions and nutrient excess & deficiency using case scenarios. 4. Design written nutritional education tools for pregnancy and nursing, including food safety. 5. Evaluate multi-system influences on client nutritional access using a written assignment. 6. Support client access to wrap-around services by locating and sharing nutritional resource options in your area.
