Anatomy and Physiology II with Lab

Catalog description

This course is the second in a sequence of four-courses in human anatomy and physiology where we continue using a body systems approach. Coursework emphasizes interrelationships between structure and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. In this course, we will cover the following topics: fundamental concepts and principles of the muscular, macroscopic and microscopic organization and function of the nervous system, structure and functional components of the tissues making up the special senses, and analyzing the structure and functions of the endocrine system. The concept of homeostasis is included and emphasized in each body system. Course work and laboratory exercises are designed to emphasize foundational concepts, promote critical thinking, and application of knowledge.
