Catalogue Description: This course is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I. Topics include the
endocrine, lymphatic, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
Purpose: The chief aim of this course is to provide concise information concerning Anatomy and Physiology
to those who are newly introduced to the subject. The material is presented in such a manner that it should
provide for students of nursing and health-related professions as well as students who will use the course to
complete college requirements. Clinical aspects of the human body are included in an effort to make the study
of Anatomy and Physiology relate to both career and personal issues.
Goals: The main goal of this course is to provide students with an appreciation and understanding of the
complexity of the human body. The functions of the various body systems will be investigated paying special
attention to how the particular system contributes to the overall maintenance of the condition we call “life”.
Topics to be Included:
1. The Endocrine System
2. Blood
3. Heart
4. Circulation
5. Lymphatic and Immune System
6. Respiratory System
7. Digestion and Metabolism
8. Urinary System and Fluid Balance
9. Reproduction, Development, and Human Genetics
10. Homeostasis
Course Competencies/Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course students should be able to:
1. Identify and locate the major organs of the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and
reproductive systems.
2. Describe and identify the structure of the major organs in the endocrine, cardiovascular respiratory,
urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems.
3. Describe the normal function of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary,
and reproductive systems and explain the physiological basis for these functions.
4. Analyze the interdependencies between the body systems and use examples illustrating how the
cooperation between systems is necessary to maintain homeostasis.
5. Discuss the etiology and complex systemic effects of certain pathological conditions.
6. Use examples to illustrate how the interaction of two or more organ systems is required to accomplish
specific significant functions.
7. Extrapolate the information, mechanisms, and concepts studied to analyze new problems.
POLICIES OF THE COURSE
Attendance: Regular attendance to all lectures is expected. Attendance will be taken each class meeting. In the
event of an absence, students are responsible for the material covered in lecture.
Method of Determining Grades:
4 Lecture exams
50 %
Quizzes (Individual & Group)
15 %
Comprehensive Final Exam
30 %
Critical Thinking Group Work
5%
Total
100 %
(Class participation may add extra credit)
*Note: The lowest grade from lecture exams 1 thru 4 will be dropped. A missed exam can be dropped only if
the absence is excused and a letter from a medical professional may be requested. In addition, one
lecture quiz with the lowest grade will also be dropped.
*Note: The lecture portion of this course is worth 65% and the laboratory portion is worth the remaining 35%.
- Each student MUST pass the Lab portion with at least a 55% .
Grading System is as follows:

Below 65
Make-up Exam Policy: There will be NO MAKEUP QUIZZES NOR MAKEUP CRITICAL
THINKING GROUP WORK (under any circumstance). Makeup exams will only be given with a letter
from a medical professional and only allowed once in a semester. The grade achieved on the relevant final
exam will be used to replace a subsequent missed exam. The date of the exams will be arranged to
accommodate the needs of the class and avoid conflicts if possible.
Classroom and Laboratory Policy: According to school policy, there will be absolutely no eating or drinking
in the classroom or laboratory. You are also permitted to have cell phones turned on during class or lab (please
keep them on vibrate mode).
Critical Thinking Group Work Requirement: The critical thinking group work requirement gets students to
apply the information they are learning and to think more analytically about the information. While working as
a group, students will learn to assist each other in putting facts together in order to reach the moment of true
comprehension.
Extra credit (optional – 5pts/activity towards grade of one lecture exam and/or final exam): Participation
at a specified conference or exhibit. A reaction paper is required. Additional information will be provided in
the near future.
*Please note that the Last day to withdraw with a “W” grade is Tuesday, April 22nd
