BIO229 is a continuation of BIO228.  The muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune systems are covered. There are three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week.

PREREQUISITE:

BIO 228 - Anatomy and Physiology I

 

REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:

      (An affordable hardcover option can be purchased online if you also want a hard copy.)

  • "Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology" by Elaine N. Marieb and Lori A. Smith, Sixth Edition (Pearson) / ISBN-13: 978-0-13-420633-2

 REQUIRED MATERIALS:  

  1. Safety glasses are required for all on-campus sections.

As the result of instructional activities, students will be able to:

  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the nervous system and explain their functional roles in communication, control, and integration
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the eye and ear and explain their functional roles in vision, hearing, and equilibrium
  • Identify and locate the receptors responsible for olfaction and gustation and describe the physiology of smell and taste
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the endocrine system and explain the functional roles of their respective hormones in communication, control, and integration
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the cardiovascular system and explain their functional roles in transport and hemodynamics
  • Describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the lymphatic system and explain their functional roles in fluid dynamics and immunity
  • Describe the pathophysiology of select homeostatic imbalances of the human body
  • Apply concepts of human anatomy and physiology to real situations
  • Identify anatomical structures in human and animal specimens and models
  • Identify structural and functional relationships in the human body
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate scientific information and theory in writing
  • Demonstrate higher-order (critical) thinking skills in using the understanding gained by meeting the previous objectives

*Objectives pertain to combination of BOTH lecture and lab portions of course

GENERAL TOPICS OUTLINE:
