320. Integrated Human Anatomy and Physiology II. (3-3). Credit 4. II

Continuation of BIOL 319. Integrated approach to endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and developmental anatomy and physiology; includes some histology, histopathology, radiology and clinical correlations. Prerequisites: BIOL 319; or approval of instructor.

Prerequisites, be able to:
1. Identify tissues and relate their structure to their physiology
2. Explain the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system
3. Explain cell biology basics such as what the mitochondria is and does, etc.
4. Explain chemistry basics such as enzymes, acid/base, pH, etc.
5. Explain the physics of physiology such as refraction of light, pressure gradients, forces for movement
6. Demonstrate proper use of grammar and writing skills including the ability to professionally use digital communication
7. Demonstrate basic microscopy skills
8. Demonstrate proficiency in college level arithmetic
9. Explain the basics of system physiology, from cells up, including cell to cell communication, the respiratory system, excretory system, etc.
10. Explain the basic biochemistry, e.g., what an amino acid looks like, oxidative phosphorylation, etc.

Learning outcomes, be able to:
1. Explain, compare/contrast, and critically analyze body systems
2. Identify the major hormones produced by the human body and articulate their respective effects on homeostasis of physiological systems.
3. Characterize the tissue types learned in BIOL 319 and be able to explain their respective uses and functions in physiological systems
4. Identify all major structures of the special senses, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems using human models and cat dissection specimens
5. Compare/contrast the structures of these systems with respect to their functions
6. Explain the physiology demonstrated by electrical recordings of special senses, brain, lung and heart activities
