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.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At completion of the course, the student should be able to do the following:

Relate the gross and microscopic anatomical structures of the articular, endocrine, digestive, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urinary systems to their physiological functions in the human body.
Describe the composition of blood and its functions.
Relate the chemical properties of water, electrolytes, acids, bases, and macromolecules to cellular metabolism.
Describe homeostatic mechanisms that regulate fluid and electrolyte between intracellular and extracellular compartments.
Correlate the electrical activity of the heart with heartbeat.
