Course Objectives - To investigate and integrate the
relationships between the structure and function of the
human body. In Biol 2040 we will continue our study
beginning with chapter 17 in Anatomy & Physiology-
The Unity of Form and Function 3rd or 4th edition by Ken
Saladin and essentially finish the book. Laboratory sessions
will utilize a "hands on" approach, with models, preserved
materials (wonder how the cats are doing?), as well as a
variety of charts and figures.
Course Description: BIOL 2040. Human Anatomy &
Physiology II. A study of the basic components of human
anatomy and physiology approached from a molecular,
cellular, organ, and system levels. Systems covered in this
course include the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory,
digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems.
Tests and Grading - There will be 4 lecture tests, 2 lab
tests, and a Comprehensive final. Each test will count
equally in determining your final grade. Lecture tests are
designed to be completed in 1 hour. Grading will follow the
>90 % = A; 80-89 = B; 70-79 = C; 60-69 = D; and below
60% is Failing. I will drop your lowest test score, so that at
the end of the course, a total of six (remaining) grades will
be averaged to determine your grade for the course. The
drop grade can be the final. Because of this, I do not give
make up tests without very extenuating circumstances and
if given, may be of an entirely different format. I will not
tolerate academic dishonesty-do your own work and protect
it from others. You should review the University Policy on
dishonesty. The regulations can be found here:

You should keep your old tests until the semester is over.
