Anatomy and Physiology 2
Course Description, Prerequisites and Textbooks

Anatomy and Physiology 2 (BIO202) requires four weekends to complete. Classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 6:30pm.
(4 Semester Units, includes lab*)

This course is a continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of nutrition, metabolism, development, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance. Emphasis is placed on the integration of systems as they relate to normal health. Laboratory exercises provide first hand experience with the structures and processes discussed in lecture.

*If the college or university to which the student intends to transfer Integrated Science Program (ISP) courses requires 5 instead of 4 semester units per portion of a course (either 1 or 2), we offer 1 semester unit independent study courses for each formal course which provide empirically-based studies that enhance, deepen, and further integrate knowledge of the subject by developing different problem-solving skills and conceptual organization than those fostered in formal classroom and laboratory learning.

Anatomy & Physiology 2 - Prerequisite High School Diploma or equivalent, and Anatomy & Physiology 1 or equivalent.
