Course Title:Anatomy and Physiology II w/Lab

Institution:Rogue Community College

Type of Course:Transfer

Length of Course:A minimum of sixty (60)lecture/lab hours per one term.

Prerequisites:BI231; CHEM104highly recommended.

Department Assignment:Science

Course Description: Discusses anatomical structure and physiological processes, including organs, systems, tissues, bodily dysfunctions, and diseases. The laboratory component of this course provides students with hands-on experiences, as opposed to workbook and or computer-generated activities that could be done in a non-laboratory setting. Ideally, laboratory activities should encourage critical thinking, the understanding of scientific methodology, and the application of scientific principles. In the laboratory setting whole animal dissection is a valuable learning experience not achievable by other means. Hands-on dissection by students working individually or in pairs is preferable to instructor-demonstrated dissections. There are many other excellent teaching tools available, including models, computer simulations, and a variety of audiovisual materials. Use of these teaching tools are valid, but not a substitute for animal dissection. Whole animal dissection is a valuable learning experience not achievable by other means.
