A.     Course Description:

 

         Prerequisite: BSC 1085. Corequisite: BSC 1086L. This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. This course is a study of the general and specific structural anatomy and physiology of the human, including the requisite principles of chemistry that influence homeostasis. The systems approach is used; incorporating chemical functions with human structure, from the cell to the entire organism. Each system is presented in sufficient depth to provide a comprehensive understanding of systems for students in the life and health sciences. The systems covered include reproductive, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, and urinary. 47 contact hours.

 

B.      Major Learning Outcomes:

        

         1.   The student will develop an understanding of the interrelationships of the structure of the human body and the specific functions of its cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.

 

         2.   The student will develop knowledge of the basic principles of chemistry with the normal maintenance of homeostasis, and will acquire understanding of malfunction of homeostatic mechanisms to evidence of stress and/or disorders in the human body.
