Note: If you have not logged into this fast pace summer course by May 20 th, you will be dropped for non-attendance. Course Description: Human Anatomy and Physiology is intended for Allied Health and Science majors. It encompasses structure and function of selected organs systems and systems of the human body. The focus of this second course is on the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, immune, urinary and reproductive systems. Additionally, the biochemistry of energy production and metabolism are discussed. Remark: This course together with BSC 1085 provides the foundation for an understanding of the human body. Most students taking this course plan a career in health care. To anyone planning to work in the health field this class will be the background to a deeper understanding about yourself and your patients. A patient s life or health may depend on whether you know what you are doing. Additionally, this class will provide the necessary background for other professional courses that rely on anatomy and physiology. Therefore, learn as much as you can in this class. You will benefit from it. Also, I will keep a high standard for this class, considering the above. Course Objectives: At the end of this course, the student will be able to: 1. discuss the anatomy and the biochemical and physiological activity of the endocrine system. 2. describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. 3. discuss the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, digestive, immune, lymphatic, urinary and reproductive systems. 4. explain aspects of human metabolism, nutrition and fluid balance. 5. analyze clinical manifestation of pathological conditions while considering normal anatomy and physiology of the affected organ system. 6. relate the connections between healthy functions of human organ systems in an integrative manner. Pre- and Co-Requirements for this course: College level reading and writing! Successful completion of BSC 1085 and BSC 1085L. Current enrollment in, or completion of BSC 1086L (the laboratory part of this course). Note that lab and lecture complement each other.
