BIO 162 - Anatomy & Physiology 2
Credits: 4
3 Lecture Hours 3 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: BIO 161 with a grade of “C” or higher
Description
This is a course in systemic human biology for students in allied health, nursing, physical education and other fields requiring a background in human biology. The focus of the course is normal anatomy and physiology, with reference to pathological situations as appropriate. The course includes the reproductive, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, acid-base/fluid/electrolyte balance, urinary and digestive systems.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular, immune (lymphatic), respiratory, urinary, digestive and reproductive systems.
- Communicate effectively in the medical field using proper anatomical terminology.
- Apply the concept of feedback loops in homeostasis under normal conditions and in common clinical disorders.
- Explain the role of blood in regulation of pressure, fluid, nutrients, wastes, electrolytes and pH balance in the body.
- Analyze information utilizing case studies to solve anatomical and physiological problems.
- Demonstrate basic laboratory and microscopic techniques relevant to the field of anatomy and physiology.
