Course Description – Anatomy and Physiology II investigates the structure (anatomy) and
function (physiology) of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ
system levels. Organ systems to be covered this semester are the following: Endocrine
(hormone-producing glands), Immune (white blood cells and associated lymphoid organs),
Circulatory/Cardiovascular (blood, blood vessels, heart), Respiratory (lungs and associated
structures), Digestive (organs and associated structures), Urinary (kidneys, urinary bladder, and
associated structures), and Reproductive (Male and Female) Systems. Most of the class time will
be spent covering normal, healthy adult body anatomy and physiology, however, abnormal and
disease states will also be presented as well as changes occurring during aging, time permitting.
A special emphasis will be placed upon disorders of current interest, their negative impact upon
functioning of body systems, and prevention/treatment strategies.
Course Objectives – upon successful completion of this course, students should understand and
be able to articulate the following verbally and in writing: 1) the normal structure and
functioning of the organs/organ systems outlined above and 2) selected disease states. Since the
human body is not a collection of organs/organ systems acting independently, the student should
also have an understanding of the interaction between various body components and how these
components work together to preserve a state of optimal functioning (homeostasis).
Anatomy and Physiology II concerns the human body and continues your introduction to
normal and abnormal conditions. It is the next step in your journey into the fascinating world of
how we as life forms operate and is a key to your future studies into the study of human biology
and/or healthcare programs.

Course Requirements
• Attendance is REQUIRED. Students are responsible for obtaining lecture materials missed
due to an absence from a classmate – not the instructor.
• Missed exams may be made up only under extraordinary circumstances (sickness, death,
family emergency, interview) AS DETERMINED BY THE INSTRUCTOR. The instructor
must been informed and agree to the necessary of the absence either before the exam is given or,
if an emergency occurs, within 24 hours after the exam. Desiring more time to prepare for an
exam is NOT an acceptable excuse. Proof of extenuating circumstances (doctor’s note or funeral
notice) MUST be presented!
• Check Vista regularly for course announcements, handouts, grades, and helpful course
information.
• All course work must be completed by the last day of class in order for assignment values to
be included in the final grade calculations.

The grades will NOT be curved and NO extra credit projects will be available. Your grade
will depend solely upon the number of points accumulated in the exams, laboratory,
quizzes, reading assignments, obesity project, and term paper!!!
Incomplete, SF, and NF grades – See Malone University policy in the Student Handbook
Reading assignments – articles will be assigned for students to read. Students will then be
required to write a review and answer a set of questions related to the article.
Disease project and Term Paper –Students (working in groups of 3-4) will prepare a poster and
write a related 7-8 page term paper relevant to their chosen disease. To be further described in
class
Academic Honesty
Use of the intellectual property of others without attributing it to them is considered a serious
academic offense. Cheating in ANY form, including plagiarism will result in a failing grade for
the work (plagiarism or copying laboratory exercises) or for the entire course (other forms of
cheating). Repeat offenses may result in dismissal from the University. See Malone Student
5
Handbook for further details of Malone University policy. Questions concerning what may or
may not constitute plagiarism will be addressed by the instructor if desired.
Academic Complaints – refer to Malone University policy
Course notes
Outlines of class material will be posted on Dr. Beltz’s “R” drive either before OR on the day of
the class. You should print and use this material in a way most amenable to your learning style.
These notes are NOT all-inclusive and their use will not substitute for the additional material
covered orally or verbally during the lectures.
Courtesy
Try to avoid arriving to class late or leaving early. If you must enter or leave while the class is in
session do so quietly and without disturbing or distracting the rest of the class. Refrain from
having personal conversations with classmates.
As a courtesy to your fellow students, you should mute all electronic devices before
entering the classroom. If you must take a call, exit the classroom as soon as possible so as to
not disturb the rest of the class. Texting is NOT permitted during class. During exam periods,
any use of cell phones is prohibited – violation of this rule will result in a failing grade on
that exam.
Tips For Being Successful in this Course
1.
6.
Attend all class sessions, especially the laboratories since they can NOT be made up.
While an emergency may arise during the semester which may cause you to miss class,
frequent absenteeism is directly reflected in test grades. Do not rely on someone else’s
notes. You need to be in class.
Read the covered material in the book chapter before the class lecture. Use the book,
especially the figures, to help you understand the material and fill in any holes in your
notes. It is often helpful to rewrite your notes using the lecture and the book to organize
your thoughts in your own words. Studying with classmates or the use of “flash cards”
often is beneficial. If you need additional assistance, please contact me and do so
EARLY before problems become overwhelming.
Do NOT wait until the day before the exam to begin your preparations for the test. You
will not be able to learn the material in a short period of time or to remember it for use
later in the course or during your college or professional career. Also do not wait until
immediately before the test to ask me questions. Please contact me with questions as
they arise.
Set aside short blocks of time 3-4 days a week to review material and learn it! This is
essential for the laboratory material, especially during the summer!
Start assignments well before the due dates in order to avoid poor quality work and late
penalties.
Use the Class Notes on Vista in the manner that is most helpful to you.

Enjoy the class and your subsequent college years!
