BIO4149 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II COURSE PROCEDURE


BIO4149 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II

4 Credit Hours

Student Level:        

This course is open to students on the college level in the freshman or sophomore year.

Catalog Description:

BIO4149 - Human Anatomy and Physiology II

[KRSN BIO2030/2031/2032]

This course represents the second of an eight (8) credit hour Anatomy and Physiology course and is designed to provide students with a thorough study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. The student is expected to enroll in the first half of the course (BIO4148) during the same academic year, and both courses (BIO4148 and BIO4149) must be taken to be equivalent to BIO4150 Anatomy and Physiology.  Lecture and lab studies will include: the cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, metabolism, urinary system, electrolyte and acid-base balance and reproductive systems. 


Course Classification:

3 cr. Lecture/ 2 cr. Lab

Prerequisite:  

BIO4148 Human Anatomy and Physiology I or BIO 4150 Human Anatomy and Physiology with a C or higher.

Controlling Purpose:  

This course represents the second of an eight (8) credit hour Anatomy and Physiology course and is designed to provide students with a thorough study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. The student is expected to enroll in the first half of the course (BIO4148) during the same academic year, and both courses (BIO4148 and BIO4149) must be taken to be equivalent to BIO4150 Anatomy and Physiology.  Lecture and lab studies will include: the cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, metabolism, urinary system, electrolyte and acid-base balance and reproductive systems.

Core Outcomes:

The learning outcomes and competencies detailed in this course procedure meet, or exceed the learning outcomes and competencies specified by the Kansas Core Outcomes Project for this course, as sanctioned by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Learner Outcomes:           

Upon completion of the course, students will have an understanding of the structural levels of body organization, of the gross and microscopic anatomy of the body systems, of the concept of homeostasis, and of the physiology of each body system.  Those students entering professional training in the health sciences will be at a level of competency required in that training.

Unit Outcomes for Criterion Based Evaluation:

The following defines the minimum core content not including the final examination period. Instructors may add other content as time allows.

Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit the student will gain an understanding of the structure and function of the respiratory system.

  • Rank the respiratory compartments in the order exhaled air encounters them.

Grading Policy:

The grading policy will be outlined by the instructor in the course syllabus, but at least 50% of the grade will come from proctored assessments.

Maximum class size:

Based on classroom occupancy

Course Timeframe:  

The U.S. Department of Education, Higher Learning Commission and the Kansas Board of Regents define credit hour and have specific regulations that the college must follow when developing, teaching and assessing the educational aspects of the college. A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour of credit or an equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. The number of semester hours of credit allowed for each distance education or blended hybrid courses shall be assigned by the college based on the amount of time needed to achieve the same course outcomes in a purely face-to-face format.
