BIOL 211 - Human Anatomy & Physiology 2

Number of Credits: 4
Investigate the structure and function of the cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems. Explore the interrelationships of the body’s organ systems as they maintain homeostasis. Use hands- on and virtual laboratory and physical examination techniques to gather data that can be applied to the explanation of various pathologies. Explore the three-dimensional relationship between body organs using anatomical models, dissection, and/or virtual and alternate realities. (Fall, Spring & Summer Only) Three hours lecture each week. Three hours laboratory each week. Four Credits. Four billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): BIOL 210 with a minimum grade of C or better within the last five years.
Course Topics:
cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive, reproductive systems
