Anatomy & Physiology II (BI 205)
provides a detailed study of the structure and function of the body,
including digestion and metabolism, respiratory system, circulatory
system and immunity, excretory system and body fluids, reproductive
system, human development and the endocrine system. The Human Anatomy
and Physiology student will be able to identify all assigned body parts
and explain their physiological mechanisms. The student will be able to
explain how life is maintained by integrating the body's structural
design with its function. The student will be able to apply the
information provided by this course to analyze and explain new
situations involving the human body. Course objectives for the online version of BI 205 are the same as for the traditional version of BI 205. The distance learning version utilizes the same objectives, lecture notes, textbooks, supplemental material (including A.D.A.M. Interactive Anatomy and A.D.A.M. Interactive Physiology), and has the same laboratory requirements. Course requirements and expectations are the same regardless of whether students are distance learners or traditional students. The learning environment, however, is different. Anatomy & Physiology II online students attend a mandatory orientation session at the beginning of the course and attend weekly mandatory in-class lab sessions. These in-class lab sessions are part of the required weekly lab hours for this course. All lecture exams are taken at the Assessment Center (Takoma Park campus ONLY) in a proctored environment. Lab practicals are given by the instructor during the in-class lab sessions. In addition to meeting with students weekly during lab sessions, there are weekly discussion board forums that have been designed to discuss and clarify issues and topics that are unclear to the student.
