COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Lecture and laboratory course that is a continuation of the systems found in the human body: circulatory, respiratory, digestion, metabolism, urinary, endocrine & reproductive systems. Body fluid, electrolytes & acid/base balance are also included. The laboratory supplements the lecture topics with the use of the torso, dissection of bovine heart models, charts and slides. (Meets six hours per week; four hours lecture and two hours laboratory)
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Course Syllabus
Lecture Objectives The student must be able to demonstrate an understanding of:
I. The composition of blood, knowledge of blood groups and the mechanisms of homeostasis
- The structure and the functions of the major parts of the human heart, the role and the operation of the conducting system and the cardiac cycle
- The major organs of the respiratory system and their respective functions and what occurs during pulmonary ventilation
- The structure and function of the major organs of the digestive system, and the digestion of the major food groups
- The body's use of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates
- The structure and functions of the major organs of the urinary system and the process of urine formation
- The major electrolytes found in the body, the fluid compartments of the body and the movement of fluids between body compartments
- The homeostasis of acid and base levels within the body and the mechanisms that the body uses to maintain homeostasis
- The major glands of the endocrine system, their secretions and the actions and effects of the secretions
- The structure and functions of the organs of the male and female reproductive systems
Laboratory Objectives The student must be able to demonstrate a recognition and understanding
- Blood cell identification
