Course Description:
Human Anatomy and Physiology II is the second course in a two-semester sequence. It continues the
integrated study of body systems, including circulatory (cardiovascular and lymphatic), respiratory,
digestive, urinary, endocrine and reproductive. Lab work includes microscopy and dissection.
Course Prerequisite:
BIO 263 with a grade of C or higher.
Course Note: A grade of C of higher is required for the prerequisite listed with any biology course unless
otherwise indicated. Courses taken on a pass/fail basis do not meet the prerequisite; students are required
to repeat those courses for a letter grade. Due to the rapidly changing nature of biology, the prerequisite
must have been taken within five years of current enrollment.
This course for students who require a two-semester anatomy and physiology sequence. It should not be
taken without taking the first-semester course, BIO 263. Students can apply credit toward an MCC
degree with BIO 263/264 or BIO 260, but not both..

It is the policy and practice of McHenry County College to create inclusive learning environments. If you
are a student with a disability that qualifies under the American with Disabilities Act – Amended
(ADAA) and require accommodations, please contact the Access and Disability Services office for
information on appropriate policies and procedures for receiving accommodations and support.
Disabilities covered by ADAA may include learning, psychiatric, and physical disabilities, or chronic
health disorders. Students should contact the Access and Disability Services office if they are not certain
whether a medical condition/disability qualifies. To receive accommodations, students must make a
Revised 3/9/2016
