College Course Content Summary Course Prefix and Number -- Course Title BIO 141 & 142: Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II (4 cr.) (4 cr.) VCCS Course Description Integrates anatomy and physiology of cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the human body. Integrates concepts of chemistry, physics, and pathology. Part I of II. Part II of II. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 2-3 hours. Total 5-6 hours per week. General Course Purpose BIO 141 & 142 are college transfer-level courses designed to meet the needs of students pursuing programs in various health technology fields. Each course consists of formal lectures, demonstrations and laboratory activities, which examine the microscopic and gross anatomy of the systems of the human body and their physiology. Pathology is integrated and emphasis throughout is on integrated operation of the body systems. These courses are required for many health technology curricula and may be completed prior to entry into the curriculum of choice. Course Prerequisites BIO 141: ENG 111 eligible; Allied Health only: 2 units of college prep high school science with a grade of C or better or BIO 101 or equivalent or permission of department or instructor Recommended: Chemistry 111 OR Chemistry 125.

Identify major endocrine organs, their secretions, and the effects of the hormones that are secreted. Identify the microanatomy and gross anatomy of the circulatory system, to include the blood, heart, and major blood vessels. Describe physiological functions of organs of the circulatory system, including blood production, typing and clotting; the cardiac cycle, regulation of cardiac output, systemic blood pressure, blood flow, perfusion and capillary exchange. Identify the parts of the cardiac conduction system, describe their functions, and relate the activity of the conduction system to ECGs. Analyze systemic blood pressure and calculate mean arterial pressure. Identify microanatomy and gross anatomy of the respiratory system. Describe physiological processes of the respiratory system, including the process of ventilation- analysis and calculation of respiratory capacities and volumes, and the mechanisms of external and internal respiration. Discuss the role of the respiratory system in acid-base balance. Identify microanatomy and gross anatomy of the urinary system. Describe the physiological functions of the kidney, to include blood flow through the kidney, urine production by the nephron, and blood pressure homeostasis. Assess the properties of urine via urinalysis and describe the micturition reflex. Discuss the mechanisms involved in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance in the human body.
