Course Description
This course will be concerned with the integration of the histology, gross anatomy and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and metabolic, urinary, and reproductive systems of the human organism. Use will be made of the case-study method to achieve the desired understanding and integration of physiologic principles. The laboratory portion of the course will include use of human cadavers to study the anatomy of the systems indicated above. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.
Prerequisite(s)
BIOL 2644 with a grade of C or better - Must be completed prior to taking this course.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Develop a working knowledge of normal serology.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the lymphatic system.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of immunity.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the cardiovascular system.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the respiratory system.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the digestive system.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the urinary system.
  • Demonstrate understanding of the normal physiological processes of the reproductive system.
  • Be able to identify anatomical structures found in Outcomes Attachment 1.
