Description

Anatomy and Physiology II is the second part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive including nutrition, urinary including fluid and electrolyte balance, and reproductive including human development and genetics. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive including nutrition, urinary including fluid and electrolyte balance, and reproductive including human development and genetics.

Upon successful completion, students will be able to: use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered; explai
