Human Anatomy & Physiol II, HS

Catalog description

The second course of a 2-semester comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. This semester you will learn about the “visceral” body. You will be expected to 1) be able to identify the major structures of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems, 2) know how each of these functions, and 3) understand how they are integrated within the human body. You will continue to improve your skills in dissection, data collection, and data analysis. Laboratory study includes the use of synthetic silicone cadavers, 3D virtual dissection using Anatomage tables , substantial organ dissection, and use Biopac Student Lab Systems to record data from their own bodies and analyze the results. Incorporating aspects of the Master Adaptive Learner theory (a metacognitive approach to teaching and learning in medical education), this course is designed for students entering Nursing programs. This is the second course of a two-semester sequence in anatomy and physiology.
