About This Course
ACE Approved 2024
Expand on what you learned in Anatomy & Physiology I with our online Anatomy & Physiology II course, which examines major parts of the body and how they work independently as well as together.
What You'll Learn
Discuss the composition and functions of blood, including blood homeostasis, and explain the principles and techniques of blood grouping and typing.
Describe the anatomical structures of the heart, including the chambers, valves and major blood vessels and summarize the events of cardiac cycle.
Explain the structure of different types of blood vessels and their role in circulation.
Identify the components of the lymphatic system and immune system and describe how the lymphatic system functions in filtering and monitoring lymph and the immune system provides defense against pathogens.
Identify the major organs of the respiratory system and describe their functions in exchange and transportation of gases.
Identify the organs of the human digestive system and describe their functions in the digestion and absorption of food.
Understand the importance of nutrition and metabolism and summarize the metabolic processes of utilization of macronutrients.
Describe the structure and functions of primary organs of the urinary system and explain their role in urine formation, elimination, and regulation of urine concentration and volume.
Explain the concept of body fluids with fluid compartments and describe the processes involved in water balance, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance.
Describe the structure and function of the reproductive system in both males and females along with their hormonal regulation.
Explain the phase of human growth, development and aging.

request information
Learn about the reproductive system and the stages of human development. Anatomy & Physiology II also covers the lymphatic system and the three lines of defense our bodies have against pathogens. Gain a knowledge of the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems as well as nutrition, metabolism, body fluid balances, and aging.
It is suggested, though not required, that students take Anatomy & Physiology I or its equivalent before enrolling in Anatomy & Physiology II.
