Course Information
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.
Prerequisites Basic skills: Competency in reading, writing, and math
Course Prerequisites: Biology 2401
Learning Outcomes 1. Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question)

2. Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question)

3. Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question)

4. Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question)

5. Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question)

6. Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology. (PSLO alpha) (Measured by pre-test and post-test)

Course Policies
Instructor Policies October 1, 2018 - Final day to drop a course or withdraw without academic penalty.
November 21, 2018 - Final day to drop a course or withdraw with academic penalty.
Attendance Policy Absences, Tardiness, and Make-ups: Attendance is required, and punctuality is expected. If you miss 5 classes with unexcused absences, you may be dropped from the course by the instructor. You are responsible for all materials covered in class. If you quit coming to class and do not officially drop, your grades will be averaged, and you will receive the grade represented by this average. The administrative details are your responsibility (You must officially drop the course). Make-up exams will not be given. If you miss an exam because of an excused absence, your lowest lecture exam score will be used as the score for the exam that you missed. Excused absences include medical and family emergencies and are determined at the instructor�s discretion. You can only miss one exam with an excused absence (excluding the final), and you must take the final exam. Poor preparation or conflict with other scheduled exams is not a valid excuse for missing an exam. Written proof from a physician will be required for medical and family emergencies in order to substitute the score for the missed exam.
Academic Honesty Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please consult the LSC-PA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of academic dishonesty.
Facility Policies
  1. No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom.
