BIOL 228B Human Anatomy & Physiology 2*
This course is an introduction to the study of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body. The following systems are studied: endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Unifying themes of homeostasis and whole-body functioning are emphasized. The laboratory sessions include donor body prosection. The course conforms to guidelines established by the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society.

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.
