Description
This is the second part of a two-term course which examines the structure and function of the human body and the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within. Course topics include the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of development, metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance. After successful completion of the course students will understand the human body systems and develop and use a working vocabulary in anatomy and physiology, relate anatomical structures to unique and specialized functions in maintaining homeostasis, and be able to compare/contrast both structure and function using different organs from different animals to compare human anatomy and physiology through dissection. Course is intended to be a prerequisite for majors in HWS. This course does not count towards a Biology degree. (Prerequisite: BIO 145 with grade of C or better)
