CATALOG DESCRIPTION
A continuation of BIOL 2401. Emphasis will be given to the study of the
anatomical and physiological interrelationships of the circulatory,
respiratory, digestive, reproductive and excretory systems. Designed
primarily for students entering health careers. 4 credit hour course
PURPOSE
This course is the second half of a two-semester course which will
help to satisfy Human Anatomy and Physiology requirements for
premedical, nursing, predental, and other health related programs.
It may also serve as a basic science course required for an
associate degree.




Describe and practice all lab safety precautions.
Demonstrate an understanding of the important physiological
processes of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory,
urinary, digestive and reproductive systems, as well as fluid and
electrolyte balance, nutrition, metabolism, pregnancy, and
embryology.
For each of the organ systems covered, identify the important
anatomical structures on laboratory models, diagrams, and/or
dissection specimens.
Using the microscope, differentiate the various cells and tissues of
the organ systems covered.
Demonstrate the ability to use lab equipment to measure
physiological processes.
Examine the interrelationships between anatomy and physiology in
each of the organ systems covered.
Analyze the interactions of the organ systems in maintaining
homeostasis in the human body.
Employ productive teamwork in laboratory activities.
RULES
1.
Class attendance is required. Students with four (4)
unexcused cuts may result in administrative withdrawal
from the class.
2.
Smoking is not allowed in the class or lab.
3.
Make-up examinations must be pre-approved by the
instructor. There must be a valid documented reason for a
make-up exam. If no valid reason can be substantiated,
then a score of zero is issued for that exam.
4.
Every student is required to do his/her own lab work.
On occasion group efforts is encountered in the lab.
Individuality will be looked for in lab reports.
5.
Students must observe the laboratory safety rules.

6.
Cheating is not allowed. Any cheating encountered
will cause the student to be subject to administrative
action and a grade of F will be given for the course.
GRADING
1. Curving of grades to be determined.
2. Grading Scale:
90 - 100 A
80 - 89.9 B
65 - 79.9 C
50 - 64.9 D
<50
F
3. There will be two or three major lecture examinations.
4. The final examination is comprehensive.
Grade Weights
Grade weights will be further discussed during the semester. But the
general weights are as follows:
Final ---- 25%
Lab --- (variable weight) 10 - 25%
Major Lecture exams - (variable weight) 50 - 65%
Course Format - This course utilizes a clinical approach. It will
concentrate both on physiology and anatomy but more so on physiology
since this is a major component of clinical didactics.
Honors Component- A separate handout will be given during the fourth
week of the course that discusses the honors component of the course.

COURSE OUTLINE
CONTENT
Chapter 17
The Blood
In Chapter 17 – a discussion of general blood- hematopoiesis – Red blood
cells and White Blood cells. Upon completion of these topics from
chapter 17 we will proceed to chapters 20 and 21.
Chapter 20 & 21
The Lymphatic & Immune
Systems
Examination 1 will cover immunology. It will contain white blood
cells from chapter 17 and all topics in chapters 20 and 21.
Chapter 17
The Blood
Chapter 17 is continued with a discussion of platelets and clotting along
with other related topics.
Chapter 18 & 19
The Cardiovascular System
(Heart & Blood Vessels)
Examination 2 will cover cardiovascular. It will contain the following
topics: general blood- hematopoiesis – Red blood cells – white blood cells
as related to hematology (not immunology) – the heart- the blood vessels
Chapter 22
The Respiratory System
Examination 3 may occur. If it does it will cover respiratory and its
relationship to the cardiovascular system – thus cardiorespiratory.
Chapter 25
The Urinary System
Chapter 26
Water, Acid - Base, &
Electrolyte Balance
Note: Chapters 25 and 26 follow Chapter 22 in that the two systems
most responsible for the control of acid/base balance are the respiratory
and renal – thus a complete discussion of this topic can occur.

BIO 2402 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY II
Chapter 23

Chapter 24
Nutrition & Metabolism
Chapter 27
The Reproductive System
Chapter 28 & 29
Human Growth and
Development; Human
Genetics
Final Examination – A discussion of the format of the final
examination will occur in class.
Withdrawal:
It is recommended that you consult with your class instructor before submitting a
written withdrawal request to the admission office. Withdrawal from a class after the
official day of record will result in a mark of “W” on the transcript and no credit will
be awarded. The written request may be faxed, mailed or delivered in person.
Although you can drop classes until the official withdrawal date, refunds are only
granted if a withdrawal request is submitted prior to dates included in the refund
schedule below.
Lonestar System Integrity Statement
Lonestar System is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic
community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible
for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is
not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or
assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or
prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying
from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an
exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using
unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing
an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off
as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by
documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that
someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately
collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions
are not exhaustive.
When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation,
a faculty member will take disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring
the student to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero
or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course.
Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or
expelled from school may be imposed on a student who violates the standards of
academic integrity.

6-Drop Limit
Students who enrolled in Texas public institutions of higher education as first-time college students during
the Fall 2007 term or later are subject to section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, which states that an
institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop (withdraw with a grade of “W”) from more
than six courses. This six-course limit includes courses that a transfer student has previously dropped at
other Texas public institutions of higher education if they fall under the law.
Students should be sure they fully understand this drop limit before they drop a course. Please visit the
admissions office or counseling/advising center for additional information and assistance.
Emergency Notification: LSCS uses email, text messaging, and other communications
tools available to faculty, students and staff for emergency notification. Please register at
http://www.lonestar.edu/12803.htm (LSCS News Router Service) for LSCS campus closures or
other emergency alerts. In the event of a Building Evacuation, a map at each classroom entrance
shows the evacuation point for each building. Please familiarize yourself with it. In the case of
campus-wide class cancellations, check your local media, the Lonestar.edu web page, and your
mylonestar.edu email regularly. Individual class cancellations may be made at the discretion of
the instructor. Instructors will provide information on how to handle course assignments. Each
individual is expected to make the best decision for their personal circumstances, taking safety
into account.
Lone Star College System is committed to maintaining the safety of the students, faculty, staff,
and guests while visiting one of our campuses. As part of this commitment, LSCS has prepared a
Emergency Management Guidelines brochure, containing information relating to campus safety,
emergency management, and the health and welfare of the campus community. See
http://www.lonestar.edu/chief-security.htm for details.
