    Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology II (Lecture)!

    Course Introduction

    Anatomy and Physiology II is a detailed study of human anatomy and physiology, including the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. This foundational life sciences course includes important concepts and biological principles necessary to understand the structure and function of the human body. The purpose of this course is to prepare students for careers in the medical and allied health programs (human medicine, nursing, physician’s assistant, physical therapy and physical therapy assistant, respiratory therapy, radiologic technician, etc). Mastery of the course content is expected by completion of the course. Curricula are presented in accordance with the National Association of Biology Teachers and the National Research Council (Cheesman et al., 2007).

    Adopting instructors can embed a welcome video or add additional text here. 

    Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

    1. Define vocabulary terms related to anatomy and physiology.
    2. Identify the anatomical structures of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems.
    3. Describe the physiological functions of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, lymphatic, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems.
    4. Explain the principle of homeostasis for the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, lymphatic, immune, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
    5. Predict physiological outcomes of common disorders based on anatomical knowledge.
    6. Explain the interrelationships between the human body's anatomical and physiological systems, including form, function, and real-world scenarios.
    Digital Skills Course Learning Objective (DSLO): Build the necessary foundational and industry-specific digital skills to participate in the workforce.

    Navigating the Course

    This course is organized into Modules, each covering different topics. You can find the Modules in the navigation menu on the left or by scrolling down on the course page. To make navigation easier, modules can be collapsed or expanded in both the menu and the main page.

    Each module includes:

    • Chapter readings
    • Activities like discussion forums, listening exercises, quizzes, and tests
    • Practice quizzes and other helpful learning tools

    Some items are required and will be marked as complete automatically after you submit them (look for the broken checkmark box). Others need to be marked complete manually by you (look for the solid checkmark box).

    Begin by completing the Learner Support and Getting Started modules before starting Module 1. Also, remember to check for announcements and due dates regularly to stay on track.
