CATALOG DESCRIPTION (include specific prerequisite):
Prerequisite: BIOL 181 with a grade of C or higher; and completion of Math through
Intermediate Algebra Level 1 with a grade of C or higher, or assessment. This course is the
second in a two semester sequence dealing with the structure and function of the human body
that includes excretion and fluid balance, human development, metabolism and nutrition.
Information from all levels of biological organization is presented for the cardiovascular,
lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. This course explores both
the normal and pathologic conditions. The laboratory exercises use human models and preserved
animal specimens. (BIOL 182 completes the sequence begun in BIOL 181.)
COURSE MATERIALS:
1. Textbooks:
1. Terry R. Martin. Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology. 10th Edition.
William C. Brown, 2008
2. David Shier, Jackie Butler, Ricki Lewis. Holes Human Anatomy & Physiology.
12th Edition. Wm. C. Brown, 2009
RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND TRANSFER:
This course fulfills 4.00 hours semester hours of elective credit for the A.A., A.S. or A.A.S.
degrees. It should transfer to most colleges and universities as an elective course. However, since
it is not part of the General Education Core Curriculum described in the Illinois Articulation
Initiative, students should check with an academic advisor for information about its
transferability to other institutions. This course should articulate as the equivalent of an IAI
baccalaureate major course; refer to the IAI web page for further information at
