BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT – Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 Course Syllabus ‐ ‐ Spring 2014 ‐ ‐ Dr. Wells Course Information Course Description: 3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory. Gross anatomical structure and physiology of the human body pertaining to
Endocrine, Blood, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Nutrition, Urinary, Fluid and electrolytes,
and Reproductive systems. These systems will be studied in detail. Laboratory work will include microscope
study of tissues, examination of preserved specimens, dissections, and familiarization of life-like models of the
above systems and structures. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: Upon completion of this course the student should be able to locate anatomical structures on human models,
pronounce the anatomical language, and understand the physiological systems of the human body. The following
objectives summarize the primary outcomes of the four instructional units within this course.

Demonstrate an understanding of the hormonal control mechanisms of the human body including the
functioning of the endocrine system for chemical integration of physiological processes.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of the blood, cardiovascular, and lymphatic systems as it pertains to
circulation and immunity. Students will be able to identify the organs and vessels along with their
location.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of the respiratory and digestive systems by being able to name the
significant structures of each system and describe physiological processes significant to respiration,
digestion, nutrition, and metabolism.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of the urinary and reproductive systems by being able to name and
locate the organs in both the male and female system. Students will also be expected to demonstrate an
understanding of the physiological processes of reproduction.
