Continues the study of the inter-relationships of the systems of the human body. Introduces students to the study of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- List the basic requirements of the human body to sustain life.
- Describe the structural hierarchy and levels of organization of the human body.
- Describe the structure and function of the human organ systems.
- Communicate in anatomical, directional, and medical terminology.
- Explain the relationship of anatomy and physiology to basic health and pathology.
- Identify and describe the structure, function, location, and secretions of the endocrine glands.
- Identify and describe the formation, composition, functions, and types of blood.
- Identify and describe the structure, function, and location of the heart and major blood vessels.
- Identify and describe the structure, pathways, and function of the lymphatic system.
- Identify and describe the structure and function of the respiratory system.
- Identify and describe the structure and function of the digestive system.
- Explain how nutrients function in metabolism, energy balance, and hormonal control.
- Identify and describe the structure and function of the urinary system, including fluid and electrolyte balance.
- Identify and describe the structure and function of the reproductive system.
- Demonstrate proper use and understanding of: laboratory safety procedures; laboratory equipment such as microscopes, dissecting instruments, and physiologic instrumentation; and analyses.
