Course Student Learning Outcomes:
This course is intended to provide students with a strong foundation in Anatomy and
Physiology and is the continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I. In this course, we will
study the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, including heart, blood vessels,
the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system including electrolyte
and fluid balance, the reproductive system and finally the immune system. The course
is vigorous and many will find it very challenging.
1. Students will be able to analyze the circulatory system) including the lymphatic and
immune systems0 and their components. PSLO#1 and 2
2. Students will be able to understand hormonal control of body systems and
homeostasis. PSLO#1
3. Students will be able to analyze the histology, gross anatomy and the physiology
of the respiratory and urinary systems applying the structural and physiological
linkage of these systems with the cardiovascular system. PSLO#1
4. Students will be able to analyze, understand and explain the structure and function
of the digestive system correlating it with metabolism. PSLO#1
5. Students will be able to analyze and evaluate the structure, function and regulation
of the reproductive system. PSLO#1
6. Students will be able to apply the knowledge gained in lab utilizing anatomical
models and physiology experiments. PSLO#2
7. Students will utilize online interactive evaluation tools to gauge their understanding
of key anatomical and physiological concepts prior to lecture/examinations/quizzes
where applicable. PSLO#3

Other Operating Guidelines
(1) You are spending a good deal of time, energy and money on this course – please, make
the most of your investment! There is a school-mandated attendance requirement for
this course (please see the “Classroom Evaluation” section for a description). If you’re
still struggling with certain aspect of the course, please make an effort to see me and I
will gladly make time to help you work through the material.
(2) Make up tests are very difficult to schedule and may not be rescheduled for
unauthorized absences. I reserve the right to give students who miss a test an
alternate version of the appropriate test. Other assignments not turned in on time will
be docked 10% of their final value for each class day that they are late. There will be
NO makeup labs or lab exams.
(3) My purpose in this class is to act as your guide through this subject material. I also
must make sure that your grade in this class indicates your mastery of the subject
material required by this college. I am not here to spoon-feed you. It takes
approximately 2-3 hours of study time for each hour of class time to master the
material. This class will have over 96 contact hours (4 hr. credit) compared to 48
contact hours that comprise the normal class (3 hr. credit). The class and study time
necessary to succeed in this class will be close to 300 hours (60 hours per week)!
If you cannot put in the time please take the course, when you can put in that
kind of time, at later time!
(4) Please do not talk during class. If you feel the need to discuss something with a
classmate, please do so outside. I will not be offended if you need to take an important
conversation outside briefly so as not to distract your classmates. No cell phones on in
class and pagers off or on vibrate.

Attendance Policy
Students are expected to be on time for class. After four unexcused absences, the
professor recommends the student drop the class. In order for an absence to be
considered “excused” the student must bring some form of documentation as to the
reason for the absence (e.g. doctor’s note, court record, etc.). Partial unexcused
absences from class will also be considered to be “absences”. The instructor reserves
the right to take attendance at any time, even several times, during class. A student
may be dropped from the class after four absences, but it is the student’s responsibility
to drop the class officially if that is their intension.
Class Participation
While there is no “formal” assessment of your participation in class, it is appreciated
and will no doubt aid in your learning (and your classmates’ learning) of the material!
Make-Up Exam Policy
Make up tests are very difficult to schedule and may not be rescheduled for
unauthorized absences. I reserve the right to give students who miss a test an
alternate version of the appropriate test. Other assignments not turned in on time will
be docked 10% of their final value for each class day that they are late. There will be
NO makeup labs.
Warning!
Students who are repeating this class for the third time will be charged an
additional fee per class hour.
International Students
Receiving a W in a course may affect the status of your student visa. Once a W is given for the
course, it will not be changed to an F for visa considerations. You may contact the
International Student Office at 713 718 8520 if you have any questions about your student
visa status or other transfer issues.
Disclaimer
Changes may be made to this syllabus when deemed appropriate by the professor.
Students will be notified of any changes in a timely manner.
Guaranteed Graduation Policy
Houston Community College System guarantees that graduates of its Associate of Arts,
Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science and all Certificate programs, providing
under certain circumstances, additional education and training tuition free to students lacking
appropriate mastery of specified competencies. For additional information, refer to the HCCS
college catalog.
Withdrawal Policy
Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record (see current catalog) will
result in a final grade of “W” on the student transcript and no credit will be awarded.
Prior to the official day of record, it is the student’s responsibility to initiate and
complete a request for withdrawal from any course. (Spring 2011 = Thu, Apr 14, 4:30
pm)
Academic Integrity
HCCS is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic
community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible
for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is
not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams
or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials
or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying
from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an
exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using
unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or
distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism
means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without
giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper,
report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is
inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently.
These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating,
plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, a faculty member will take
disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring the student to retake
or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam
or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions
including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school
may be imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity.
Software Piracy
Law strictly prohibits unauthorized copying of software purchased by Houston Community
College for use in laboratories. Houston Community College administration will take
appropriate disciplinary action against anyone violating copyright laws.
Computer Virus Protection
Computer viruses are a fact of life. Using the diskettes on more than one computer creates the
possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the
computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to
potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to
protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its
machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and
ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with
anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept
current. And, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping copies of data
(backups) is extremely important.
Equal Opportunity Statement
It is the policy of the Houston Community College System to provide equal employment,
admission and educational opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin,
sex, age, or disability. HCCS Colleges strive to provide an excellent learning environment free
from harassment or intimidation directed at any person’s race, color, religion, national origin,
sex, age, or disability. Any form of harassment will not be tolerated.
