Descriptions and credit recommendations for all evaluated learning experiences
Topics covered are: a general overview to organization of the human body, major organ systems: anatomy and an explanation on how the parts work. Anatomy introduces a basic vocabulary that is understood by scientists and health care professionals alike, key concept of homeostasis in physiology, relevant pathophysiologic conditions are presented as imbalances in homeostasis, systems covered include: Integumentary, Skeletal, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive and Endocrine, pathophysiology topics include: acne, skin cancer, osteoporosis, anemia, leukemia, heart attack, high cholesterol, lung cancer, asthma, lactose intolerance, and thyroid disease.
Topics covered: the structure and function of human body and the key concept of homeostasis in physiology, relevant pathophysiologic conditions are presented as imbalances in homeostasis, systems covered include: Nervous, Muscular, Lymphatic (immune), Urinary, and Reproductive, some pathophysiology topics include schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, muscular dystrophy, lymphoma, infertility, and breast and ovarian cancers. The laboratory builds on the student’s laboratory skills and techniques, and provides an opportunity to examine human anatomy through dissection, histological evaluation, wet and dry lab experiments. Prerequisite: Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO2111).
Version 1: In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Science (2/11). NOTE: With the lab component, in the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 4 semester hours in Science (2/11). Version 2: In the upper division baccalaureate degree category, 3 semester hours in Science (4/16 revalidation) (3/21 revalidation). NOTE: With the lab component, in the upper division baccalaureate degree category, 4 semester hours in Science.

Version 1: September 2010 - March 2016. Version 2: April 2016 - Present.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: apply the scientific method to support problem-solving techniques; collect and organize data in a systematic manner using graphs and tables; apply basic chemical and molecular principles to the functioning cell; identify the structures and explain the functions of living cells as the basic unit of life; describe the principles of cellular metabolism and energy utilization; describe the structure and growth of bacteria and viruses and their impact on humans; compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction; describe the structure and process of replication of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA); describe gene structure and protein synthesis and its relationship to gene expression; explain the principles of Mendelian genetics and patterns of inheritance; discuss advances in biotechnology and genomics and evolution of the genome; discuss Darwin's research and fundamental evolutionary concepts; discuss how populations evolve and describe the concept of biodiversity; describe the organization and specialization of human cells into tissues and organs; describe human histology including basic tissue types, their structure and function; and identify human organs systems and describe their functions.
Topics covered are: the scientific method, chemical basis of life, cell structure and metabolism, cellular reproduction, genetics and transfer of genetic information from genes to protein, the molecular basis of cancer.
