BIO 169 Anatomy and Physiology II

Lecture: 3 Lab: 3 Clinic: 0 Credits: 4

This course provides a continuation of the comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as metabolism, nutrition, acid-base balance, and fluid and electrolyte balance. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of principles of anatomy and physiology and their interrelationships.

This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA as a premajor and/or elective course requirement.
