Course Summary
This course is designed to provide a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology of the human body. This requires a familiarity with the basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology that has been introduced in Human Biology 1.
In this course students will learn how various body systems interact with one another and how they contribute to the overall physiological functions of the human body.
Key topics include: Introduction to the Human body and homeostasis; Integumentary system; Musculo-Skeletal system; Nervous system; Endocrine system; Cardiovascular system; Lymphatic system and Immunity; Respiratory system; Digestive system; Urinary system and Fluid balance.
Laboratory sessions include: anatomical studies using dissection of animal specimens and the study of physiological concepts using physiologic experiments that provide a better understanding of integrated functions of the human body.
