BI 232Z - Human Anatomy and Physiology II

BI 231Z  (formerly offered as BI 231 / BI 231L)

Recommended Prerequisite(s):  

CHEM 104Z  / CHEM 124Z  (formerly offered as CHEM 104 / CHEM 104L) 

Course Description: Examines the structure and function of the human body through a body systems approach. Explores anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems at the relevant levels of biological organization (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system). Covers special senses and the autonomic nervous system. This course includes a laboratory component. Formerly offered as BI 232 / BI 232L.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Explain key homeostatic mechanisms and feedback loops in the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems.  
• CLO#2: Describe anatomical structures and their relationships to function in the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems.  
• CLO#3: Explain key processes of the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
• CLO#4: Relate the relevant levels of biological organization to the functions of the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems.  
• CLO#5: Describe how the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems interact with other body systems. 
• CLO#6: Apply physiological and/or anatomical concepts of the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems to practical scenarios such as clinical, public health, and societal issues.  
• CLO#7: Identify major structures in the nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems using lab materials.
