Anatomy and Physiology 2 is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology 1, focusing on the structure and function of the human body’s remaining organ systems. This course covers the cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems, along with the concepts of fluid and electrolyte balance and metabolism. Students will explore the intricate physiological processes that maintain homeostasis and support overall health, including mechanisms of hormonal regulation, feedback loops, reproduction, blood circulation, digestion, and waste elimination. Lectures will emphasize the interrelationships between the systems, and how dysfunction in one system can impact others. Students will also learn about the body’s response to diseases and medical conditions, along with the integration of physiological knowledge in clinical practice.
