BI 233Z Human Anatomy and Physiology 3
Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 3
Credits: 4
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.
Prerequisite: Placement into WR 115 (or higher), or completion of WR 090 (or higher); and completion of BI 232Z within the last seven years; or consent of instructor. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Explain key homeostatic mechanisms and feedback loops in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
- Describe anatomical structures and their relationships to function in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and human development.
- Explain key processes of the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and human development.
- Relate the relevant levels of biological organization to the functions of the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
- Describe how the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems interact with other body systems.
- 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.
- Identify major structures in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems using lab materials.
Statewide General Education Outcomes
- Gather, comprehend, and communicate scientific and technical information in order to explore ideas, models, and solutions and generate further questions.
- Apply scientific and technical modes of inquiry, individually, and collaboratively, to critically evaluate existing or alternative explanations, solve problems, and make evidence-based decisions in an ethical manner.
- Assess the strengths and weaknesses of scientific studies and critically examine the influence of scientific and technical knowledge on human society and the environment.
