Course Description:
| BIOL 202 Human Anatomy and Physiology II (4) (Fulfills the laboratory science requirement.) Prerequisite: BIOL 101, BIOL 105, BIOL 160, or BSCI 105. An introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the sensory, cardiovascular, endocrine, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, immune, and reproductive systems. Intermediary metabolism and endocrine relationships are also studied. Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: BIOL 202 or ZOOL 202. | |
Course Goals/Objectives:
After completing this course, students should be able to do the following:
* describe the anatomy and physiology of the sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems and relate them to the homeostasis of the organism as a whole
* explain the essential patterns of intermediary metabolism
* describe the anatomy and physiology of the processes of human reproduction and early development | |
Course Introduction:
BIOL 202 is the second half of a two term sequence designed to instruct students in the foundations of human anatomy and physiology and to prepare them for further courses in the health sciences. It includes extensive lecture and hands-on laboratory work. Successful completion of the first course in this series, BIOL 201, is required prior to taking BIOL 202.
The course begins with a review of the Scientific Method, and the fields of anatomy and physiology including its highly specialized and technical nomenclature. The structure and function of the senses, endocrine system, blood, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, and reproductive systems will be discussed in detail. The course will also discuss the ways in which these systems integrate and work with one another to control bodily processes such as defense; nutrition, metabolism and homeostasis, temperature regulation; fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance; and pregnancy and human development. Additionally, the ways in which these systems integrate with the integumentary, skeletal, muscle, and nervous systems (discussed in BIOL 201) will be covered. | |

Project Descriptions:
Quizzes
A series of weekly quizzes are required in this course. The quizzes are designed to assess your understanding of the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology, as well as laboratory practices and procedures, on an ongoing basis throughout the course. The questions may include those in the following formats: multiple choice, matching, identification, short-answer, fill-in-the-blank, and problem solving. They will include material covered in the reading, lectures, laboratory exercises, and class discussions.
Laboratory Exercises
Various laboratory exercises are required in this course and are designed to reinforce the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology.
Exams
A midterm and final exam are required in this course. These exams will include the topics and skills covered in the required readings, lectures, class discussions, and laboratory exercises. | |
