BIOL 228 Human Anatomy & Physiology 2*
Students will consider the impact of anatomy and physiology on the quality of their lives and those they love from cradle to grave. They will be challenged to place the content of their learning into frameworks of life, time, biological science, and fundamental understandings as a way of providing a real-world context for their learning. A research component of the course introduces and reinforces thinking skills in diagnosis, cause and effect, organization, and communication and rallies a general education component, rich with diversity, and common among all course sections. Human systems to be covered in BIOL 228 include Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive. BIOL 228 meets Idaho Statewide General Education requirements as a Scientific Way of Knowing. In addition, BIOL 228 is driven from student learning outcomes established by the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS). To facilitate student success, this course meets for an additional one hour per week to ensure further personal exploration of content.

IV. Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
- Recognize the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of body systems.
- Recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body.
- Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures.
- Recognize and explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body.
- Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances.
- Interpret graphs of anatomical and physiological data.
- Demonstrate information literacy skills to access, evaluate, and use resources to stay current in the fields of anatomy and physiology.
- Approach and examine issues related to anatomy and physiology from an evidence-based perspective.
- Communicate clearly and in a way that reflects knowledge and understanding of the human body and demonstrates the ability to adapt information to different audiences and applications.
