BIOL 222L - Anatomy and Physiology II Lab

1 Credits
2 Contact Hours
This laboratory course expands on previously gained knowledge in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Students will integrate the structure and functioning of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems with material from earlier courses through laboratory exercises.

Grade Note(s): All BIOL prefixed courses required for the BS Biological Sciences degree program require a C or better grade for successful completion.
All BIOL prefixed courses taken as requirements in the Nursing programs require a C or better grade for successful completion.
Fees: Additional course fees apply.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of BIOL 221 and BIOL 221L with a C grade or above
Corequisite(s): BIOL 222
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Work safely in a laboratory setting within groups to achieve common goals.
2. Identify the major hematologic cells through microscopy.
3. Blood type to understand the principles of transfusion compatibility.
4. Relate blood flow through the heart by identifying the major vessels and structures through dissection.
5. Identify electrocardiographic waves and intervals on a normal electrocardiogram.
6. Locate major lymphatic structures and lymph nodes.
7. Identify organs of the respiratory tract and their associated structures.
8. Define, identify, and determine respiratory volumes and respiratory capacities.
9. Identify the digestive system structures and describe how they are connected to allow for the processes of digestion and absorption.
10. Identify the structures of the urinary system through dissection, including major structures of the kidney.
11. List the major areas of the nephron involved in the process of filtrate formation.
12. Determine the physical and chemical properities of a urine sample and relate these properties to normal urine composition.
13. Identify the male and female reproductive structures that initiate oogenesis and spermatogenesis and the role of the accessory organs.
14. Identify the location of fertilization and early embryonic implantation.
15. List the basic human development stages including the following terms: zygote, blastocyst, embryo, and fetus.
16. Identify the female reproductive structures associated with pregnancy, including the following: amnion, yolk sac, chorion, chorionic villi, placenta, umbilical cord, fetal blood vessels, maternal blood vessels.
