In this laboratory course, students examine the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the human body using anatomical models, histology preparations, and dissection. Students collect, analyze and apply data to examine and understand human physiologic processes. Activities include experiments, computer simulations and measurement of physiologic activity in human subjects. The topics covered in this second course of the two course sequence are cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, nutrients and metabolism, urinary system, fluid/electrolytes and acid-base balance, and reproductive system. Equipment commonly found in a medical setting is used. A&P II (lecture and laboratory) is designed to meet prerequisites for graduate programs in the health sciences.
