Course Overview:
This is a lecture/laboratory course in anatomy and Physiology.
The study of anatomy and physiology is essential to understanding the human body. Lectures and laboratory exercises have been designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of human structure and function. Anatomy and Physiology Part II will focus on the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and immunity, the respiratory and digestive system, sensory, motor and integrative systems, the special senses and the endocrine and urinary systems. This is an introductory course and will serve as a foundation for students pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences.
The text for this course is comprised of twenty nine chapters, which have been divided into five units. Lecture material for BIOL
_________ will cover material(s) from parts of unit 3 and units 4 and 5.
Unit 3: Emphasis is placed on the control systems of the human body.
Unit 4: Chapters in this unit are concerned with the systems that provide maintenance of the human body
