BI 233Z - Human Anatomy and Physiology III


4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s):  

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

Recommended Prerequisite(s):  

CHEM 104Z  and 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 respiratory, digestive, immune, lymphatic, urinary, and reproductive systems at the relevant levels of biological organization (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system). Covers acid-base balance and human development. This course includes a laboratory component. Formerly offered as BI 233 / BI 233L.

Course Learning Outcomes:

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