BIOL 2010 - Anatomy & Physiology II



4 Credits
Prerequisites BIOL 2000  with a grade of C or better

This course is the second semester of a two-semester lab-science course intended for students pursuing careers in fitness and allied health fields. Interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels are studied using abody systems approach. Homeostasis is an integrating theme throughout this course. Content topics include immunity, metabolism, fluid balance, development, and the cardiovascular, hematopoietic, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, urinary, and reprductive systems. Dissection of individual organs and whole organisms may be included.
