Description

Objective:

This course, as a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I, explores the physiological functions and structures of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, respiratory, and lymphatic systems. By the end of the course, students will learn the basic anatomical structures of these systems and the physiological processes that these structures govern. Students will also learn about pathological conditions that impact the optimal functioning of each system.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify and describe key structures and organs within the body and their locations.
  • Describe the collaborative interface between related systems and their connected functions.
  • Articulate the key functions of each bodily system and the system's contribution to human physiology.
  • Relate the function of each system to the maintenance of homeostasis.
  • Summarize the causes and impacts of pathological conditions and dysfunction on the functions of each system.

General Topics:

  • Blood, the Heart, and the Cardiovascular System
  • Vessels and Circulation in the Cardiovascular System
  • Lymphatic System, Immunity and Disease
  • Respiratory System and Process
  • Gastrointestinal System and Digestion
  • Accessory Organs of the Gastrointestinal System
  • Nutrition and Metabolism in the Human Body
  • Anatomy and Physiology of the Urinary System
  • Electrolyte, Water and pH Balance in the Body
  • Sexual Reproduction and the Reproductive System
  • Human Development, Growth and Aging
