Second of a two-quarter sequence including the study of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Introduces common human disease processes. Laboratory component includes anatomical studies using microscopy and dissection and the study of physiological concepts via experimentation.
Enrollment Requirement: AP 103 with a grade of 2.0 or higher and eligible for ENGL& 101 ; or instructor consent.

Course Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this class will be able to:
- Define basic anatomical and physiological terms.
- Describe the normal anatomy and physiology of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as diseases common to these systems.
- Describe how body systems interact with one another in human health and disease.
- Explain the concept of homeostasis and give examples of homeostatic regulatory mechanisms in cells, tissues, organs, organ systems etc.
Program Outcomes
- Recognize and use effective reasoning to evaluate information and to improve the quality of their own thinking.
- Apply relevant criteria when evaluating their thinking as well as the thinking of others.
- Provide reasons for the conclusions they reach or accept and assess the relevance and adequacy of those reasons.

College-wide Outcomes
- Critical Thinking - Critical thinking finds expression in all disciplines and everyday life. It is characterized by an ability to reflect upon thinking patterns, including the role of emotions on thoughts, and to rigorously assess the quality of thought through its work products. Critical thinkers routinely evaluate thinking processes and alter them, as necessary, to facilitate an improvement in their thinking and potentially foster certain dispositions or intellectual traits over time.
