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. 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. Demonstrate laboratory procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of each organ system. 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. Evaluate and examine issues related to anatomy and physiology from an evidence-based perspective.
	BIOL& 242 - Human Anatomy And Physiology II 5 Credits The course is part two of a two-quarter sequence in which human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach, with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization.  Anatomy & Physiology II is a continuation of Anatomy & Physiology I and includes: the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and immunity; the respiratory system; the digestive system, metabolism, the urinary system; fluid/electrolyte and acid/base balance; and the reproductive systems.  Pre-requisite(s) MATH 091 or higher min 2.0 and BIOL& 241 min 2.0 Placement Eligibility Math 107, 111, 146, 180, 98 Course Note Previously BIOL 232 FeesSB SC Quarters Typically Offered Summer Day Fall Day Winter Day, Evening Spring Day, Evening Designed to Serve Pre-allied health (pre-nursing, respiratory care, etc.) students.
