BIOL 165 Human Anatomy and Physiology II

School of University Arts and Sciences

BIOL 165 Human Anatomy and Physiology II is a continuation of Biology 164. This course covers the cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary and digestive systems. Endocrinology is discussed throughout as a means of integrating the various systems to the function of the body as a whole. The focus remains on application of knowledge gained in this course.

Prerequisites: BIOL 164 with a minimum grade of 60%

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:

  1. Be introduced to, and gain an understanding of, the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, lymphatic and urinary systems
  2. Use and define terminology introduced in class, cite examples where appropriate, and may be required to label and/or draw diagrams of anatomical details or physiological processes
  3. Effectively integrate and apply the anatomy and physiology of the systems studied to the maintenance of homeostasis within the human body
  4. Participate in class discussions by making meaningful and relevant comments based upon extra-curricular readings and experiences

Teaching and Learning Approach

The lectures in this course focus on the introduction of concepts and practice in problem-solving strategies. Students are encouraged to enrich the class by asking questions and offering examples.

The lab provides opportunities to develop hands-on skills and to reinforce the problem-solving strategies introduced in the lecture.
