Anatomy and Physiology II for Health Professionals - Virtual Laboratory

Catalog description

This online laboratory complements SCEN 2060 and focuses on identifying anatomical structures and understanding physiological pathways in the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, lymphatic, and immune systems. The lab uses a digital atlas, imaging, and commonly collected physiological variables to emphasize the integration of structure and function of systems. Students will analyze physiological processes such as blood pressure regulation, gas exchange, digestion, fluid balance, fat storage, and immune responses, connecting anatomical structures with their roles in maintaining homeostasis. A core component of this lab involves students teaching back physiological concepts and mechanisms to their peers to enhance learning retention and prepare students to explain complex medical information in clinical settings.
