Anatomy & Physiology II
Course Description: BIO-112
3 lect., 3 lab., 4 cr.
Continues the study of the structure and
function of human systems begun in 31105
(Anatomy and Physiology I). Included are the
Circulatory, Lymphatic, Immune,
Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and
Reproductive systems. Acid-base, fluid and
electrolyte balance are also discussed, and
functional inter-relationships and
homeostasis are stressed throughout.
Laboratory work includes analysis of the
structure and function of the above systems at
the histological, gross anatomical and organ
system levels. The laboratory experience
includes dissection of the cat and beef and
sheep hearts as well as prepared histological
specimens, human anatomical models and
computer/video presentations related to the
above systems. Laboratory experiments also
expose students to related clinical techniques/topics such as blood typing, ECG, blood
pressures, pulse determination, heart and lung
sounds, spirometry, and urinalysis.
