Course
Description
A
follow-up course to Human Anatomy & Physiology I, this course continues our
look at the human body, focusing on the seven systems of the body not covered
in the introductory course. We will
examine the correlation between anatomy and physiology in those systems in a
variety of ways. This course will help
prepare students interested in medical professions, physical education, animal
sciences, art, and those who would like to expand their knowledge of the human
body.
There
are two levels in Anatomy and Physiology, Honors and College/Tech Prep. Honors level students are expected to meet
higher levels of achievement in test situations and in laboratory reports, and
will be required to take more extensive written examinations.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Human
Anatomy and Physiology I.

Course
Outcomes/Competencies
Following
completion of this course students will:
1. Understand
the relationship between structure and function,
2. Understand
the body is composed of increasingly complex and organized levels,
3. Utilize
analytical skills and use evidence to make and support conclusions about the
ways humans or other organisms are affected by environmental factors or
heredity, and communicating these conclusions through a scientific approach,
4. Describe the
relationship between the endocrine system and hormone function on target
organs.
5. Understand
the association between the endocrine system and homeostatic mechanisms.
6. Identify the
key components of blood.
7. Describe the
blood clotting process.
8. Review the
ABO and Rh blood groups and relate their importance to blood transfusion
systems today.
9. Illustrate
the anatomy of the heart including tracing the pathway of blood through the
heart.
10. Compare the
pulmonary and systemic circuits of the heart.
11. Explain the
anatomy and physiology of the major blood vessels and their systems.
12. Define and
understand the mechanics of blood pressure including pulse points
13. Recognize the
role of the lymphatic system.
14. Identify the
various parts of the body that act to prevent infection.
15. Describe the
inflammatory process.
16. Illustrate
the functional anatomy of the respiratory system.
17. Understand
the concepts of respiration, ventilation, expiration, and inspiration, and
their relationship to one another.
18. Identify the
anatomy of the digestive system.
19. Describe the
mechanisms involved in the digestive system, as well as the physiology behind
digestion.
20. Differentiate
among nutrients.
21. Understand
the science behind metabolism, including the impacts of different organic
molecules on cell metabolism.
22. Describe the
anatomical makeup of the urinary system.
23. Appreciate
the balance among fluids, electrolytes, and acids/bases.
24. Be familiar
with the anatomy of both the male and female reproductive systems.
25. Describe
sperm including structure, function, and spermatogenesis.
26. Describe ova
including oogenesis and the release of ova during the menstrual cycle.
27. Illustrate
the process of pregnancy and embryonic development.
28. Use lab equipment
safely and appropriately,
29. Demonstrate
basic dissection procedure (encouraged, not required), and
30. Make
independent decisions showing a linkage to material previously covered.
Course
Activities
The
work for this course will be a combination of lecture, discussion, lab work,
and activity work. Students will be
expected to maintain a notebook, which will include notes taken during lecture
and worksheets/labs as well as review materials distributed during class. Class activities and assignments may include
schematic anatomical drawings, projects, use of an anatomy study aid/coloring
book, written and oral reports, including formal lab reports.

Classroom
Requirements
1. Treat others
with respect.
2. Work in
cooperation with your lab partner/lab groups.
3. Maintain lab
safety at ALL times.
4. Come to class
on time and be prepared—this includes the following:
a. Bring
notebook (2 inch, 3-ring binder) and a writing utensil (pencil preferred)
b. Bring text
c. Bring
completed assignments (worksheets, homework, lab reports)
d. Be ready to
have fun!
5. All
assignments should have a neat, professional appearance with attention to
complete sentences, spelling, and punctuation.
6. Attend every
class session. In the event you cannot
make it to class notify me in advance if possible. Makeup work should be completed within one
week of the absence. Students are responsible for arranging to make up their
work. Note: Late work will lose 7 points (one grade) for each day late.
7. Missing work
receives a zero and cannot be made up after the marking period—note that there
is no extra credit and the lowest grade will not be dropped, therefore it is
best to get it done correctly and on time the first time!
8. It is
required you keep a binder for all your labs, tests, notes, and other class
materials. This will be a valuable study
tool for your final and mid term and for use in your lab exams.

*NOTE: There is one mid-term exam and one final
exam, each of which worth 10% of the overall semester grade.
**Weighted
averages may be shifted slightly depending on the number of tests, quizzes, and
labs performed during a quarter. The
activities and content reflected here are offered as guidelines and are subject
to modification based on the progress of students in the class. If you have any questions or concerns please
feel free to contact me.**
Homework
Policy
The
purpose of homework is to introduce new material prior to lecture and/or
reinforce material discussed during class.
Therefore, the policy for this class is to accept homework on the day it is due and no later than
that date, unless in the event of an excused absence from class. If you have any questions or concerns please
feel free to contact me.
