The second of a two-course sequence (BIO 205-206), continuing a comprehensive study of human anatomy
and physiology. BIO 206 focuses on the special senses, autonomic nervous system, endocrine system and regulation
of metabolism, cardiovascular and respireatory systems, lymphatic system and immunety, digestive system, urinary
system and fluid/electrolyte balance, and reproductive system and development. Homeostasis and inter relationships
of systems are discussed, as well as applications in health and fitness. Laboratory investigations include cat and
organ dissecttions, examination of prepared slides and models, and physiological experiments (computer
simulations, and analysis of physiological data from human subjects using digital recording systems). 3 lecture
hours and one 2.5 hour laboratory session weekly.
Prerequisites
Grade of “C” or higher in BIO 205 (Anatomy and Physiology I).
