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

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%
The number of examinations, format of examinations and dates of
examinations will be discussed during the first day of class.

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. The lab component
is given in a separate document.
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.
4
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.
Chapter 23
The Digestive System
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.
