CATALOG DESCRIPTION
A continuation of BIOL 2401. Emphasis will be given to the study of the anatomical and physiological interrelationships of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, reproductive and excretory systems. Designed primarily for students entering health careers. 4 credit hour course
PURPOSE
This course is the second half of a two-semester course which will help to satisfy Human Anatomy and Physiology requirements for premedical, nursing, predental, and other health related programs. It may also serve as a basic science course required for an associate degree.

COURSE OBJECTIVES (The Honors component of this course is presented at the back of this syllabus)
1. Emphasis is given to the interrelationships among the endocrine, cardiovascular/circulatory, respiratory, immune, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems.
2. Learn the development of the embryo and fetus and the stages in the life cycle of the human.
3. The study of human genetics and problems associated with error of traits in transmission and faulty genetic materials.
4. To ensure that each student becomes conversant with the biological system of man at the completion if this course.
RULES
1. Class attendance is required. Students with four (4) unexcused cuts may result in administrative withdrawal from the class.
2. Smoking is not allowed in the class or lab.
3. Make-up examinations must be pre-approved by the instructor. There must be a valid documented reason for a make-up exam. If no valid reason can be substantiated, then a score of zero is issued for that exam.
4. Every student is required to do his/her own lab work. On occasion group efforts is encountered in the lab. Individuality will be looked for in lab reports.
5. Students must observe the laboratory safety rules.
6. Cheating is not allowed. Any cheating encountered will cause the student to be subject to administrative action and a grade of F will be given for the course.

GRADING
1. Curving of grades to be determined.
2. Grading Scale: 90 - 100 A
80 - 89.9 B
65 - 79.9 C
50 - 64.9 D
<50 F
3. There will be two or three major lecture examinations.
4. The final examination is comprehensive.
Grade Weights
Grade weights will be further discussed during the semester. But the general weights are as follows:
Final ---- 25%
Lab --- (variable weight) 10 - 25%
Major Lecture exams - (variable weight) 50 - 65%
Course Format - This course utilizes a clinical approach. It will concentrate both on physiology and anatomy but more so on physiology since this is a major component of clinical didactics.
Honors Component- A separate handout will be given during the fourth week of the course that discusses the honors component of the course.

COURSE OUTLINE CONTENT
Chapter 17 The Blood
In Chapter 17 – a discussion of general blood- hematopoiesis – Red blood cells and White Blood cells. Upon completion of these topics from chapter 17 we will proceed to chapters 20 and 21.
Chapter 20 & 21 The Lymphatic & Immune Systems
Examination 1 will cover immunology. It will contain white blood cells from chapter 17 and all topics in chapters 20 and 21.
Chapter 17 The Blood
Chapter 17 is continued with a discussion of platelets and clotting along with other related topics.
Chapter 18 & 19 The Cardiovascular System (Heart & Blood Vessels)
Examination 2 will cover cardiovascular. It will contain the following topics: general blood- hematopoiesis – Red blood cells – white blood cells as related to hematology (not immunology) – the heart- the blood vessels
Chapter 22 The Respiratory System
Examination 3 may occur. If it does it will cover respiratory and its relationship to the cardiovascular system – thus cardiorespiratory.
Chapter 25 The Urinary System
Chapter 26 Water, Acid - Base, & Electrolyte Balance
Note: Chapters 25 and 26 follow Chapter 22 in that the two systems most responsible for the control of acid/base balance are the respiratory and renal – thus a complete discussion of this topic can occur.
Chapter 23 The Digestive System
Chapter 24 Nutrition & Metabolism
Chapter 27 The Reproductive System
Chapter 28 & 29 Human Growth and Development; Human Genetics
Final Examination – A discussion of the format of the final examination will occur in class.
Withdrawal:
It is recommended that you consult with your class instructor before submitting a written withdrawal request to the admission office. Withdrawal from a class after the official day of record will result in a mark of “W” on the transcript and no credit will be awarded. The written request may be faxed, mailed or delivered in person. Although you can drop classes until the official withdrawal date, refunds are only granted if a withdrawal request is submitted prior to dates included in the refund schedule below.
Lonestar System Integrity Statement
Lonestar System is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive.
When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, a faculty member will take disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring the student to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity.
