Anatomy & Physiology 2 BIPH 2212

Course description:

This course provides a specific study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include The endocrine system, the three components of circulatory system (blood, heart. And vessels), The lymphatic and immunological system, The respiratory system, The digestive system and metabolism, The renal system and balance of fluids and electrolytes , and both male and female reproductive systems.

Course Aims:

To offer an in-depth presentation of the structure and function of the major organs and organ systems of the human body.
To clarify the unique role of each organ and organ system in maintaining health and homeostasis such as (endocrine system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic and immunological system, respiratory system, digestive and Renal systems, and male and female reproductive systems). 
To analyze and justify the responses of different organs to the internal and external changes of human body.  

Course outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:  
  • Describe the components of Blood and the function of each component in respiration, defense (immunity), and homeostasis. Blood tests (CBC, Bleeding tests, Coagulation tests, blood grouping) and explain the concept of agglutination.
  • Describe the parts of cardiovascular system and their role in distribution and drainage of blood to and from different systems in the body. 
  • Determine the role of respiratory organs in gas exchange between blood and lungs and between air and lungs, moreover between blood and cells by explaining the different mechanisms and factors participate in those functions and in maintaining Acid-Base Balance. 
  • Determine the role of every organ in GIT in different functions of digestive system. 
  • Describe the different mechanisms of formation of urine such as filtration, reabsorption and secretion in the functional unit of kidneys .
  •  Differentiate between male and female reproductive systems structure and their role in formation of gametes and preparation for fertilization and &reproduction. And apply the semen analysis test and morphology of sperm.
  • Describe endocrine system and the function of hormones and apply the tests of hormones.
