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:
1. Apply proper anatomical, directional, and medical terminology to anatomy and basic physiology.
2. Explain the relationship of anatomy and physiology to basic health and pathology.
3. Describe the basic physiological processes essential to human life.
4. Identify and describe the formation, composition, functions, and types of blood cells.
5. Identify and describe the structure, function, and location of the heart and major blood vessels.
6. Identify and describe the structure, pathways, and function of the lymphatic system.
7. Identify and describe the structure, function , and location of the respiratory system organs.
8. Identify and describe the structure, function , and location of the digestive system organs.
9. Identify and describe the structure, function, location, and secretions of the endocrine glands.
10. Identify and describe the structure and function of the urinary system, including fluid and electrolyte balance.
11. Identify and describe the structure and function of the reproductive system, including embryonic and fetal growth.
12. Communicate mechanistic anatomical explanations in clear, concise, and accurate language in short answer formats.
