  • What systems are covered in Anatomy & Physiology II?

    The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, metabolic, and reproductive systems.

  • What is the primary focus of the endocrine system?

    The endocrine system regulates body functions through hormones secreted by glands.

  • What are the main components of blood?

    Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

  • What is the primary function of the cardiovascular system?

    To transport blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients and removing waste.

  • What role do blood vessels play in the cardiovascular system?

    Blood vessels carry blood to and from the heart and tissues, including arteries, veins, and capillaries.

  • What is the function of the lymphatic system?

    The lymphatic system returns excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream and participates in immune defense.

  • What are lymphoid organs and tissues?

    Structures like lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils involved in immune responses.

  • What are the two main types of immune defenses?

    Innate (nonspecific) defenses and adaptive (specific) defenses.

  • What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

    To facilitate gas exchange between the air and blood, supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.

  • What are the main organs of the digestive system?

    Includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

  • What is metabolism in human physiology?

    All chemical reactions in the body that produce energy and build or break down molecules.

  • What is the role of the urinary system?

    To filter blood, remove waste, and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.

  • What is acid-base balance in the body?

    The regulation of pH levels in body fluids to maintain homeostasis.

  • What are the main functions of the reproductive system?

    To produce gametes and support fertilization, pregnancy, and development of offspring.

  • What is the significance of pregnancy and human development in A&P II?

    Study of embryonic and fetal development and physiological changes during pregnancy.

  • What is the importance of heredity in human physiology?

    Understanding how genetic information is passed from parents to offspring.

  • What is the scientific method's role in Anatomy & Physiology?

    It is used to analyze data, solve problems, and explain natural phenomena in the human body.

  • What are the career-ready competencies developed in this course?

    Inquiry and analysis, problem-solving, teamwork, and information literacy.

  • What is the prerequisite for Anatomy & Physiology II?

    Successful completion of Human Anatomy & Physiology I with a grade of C or better.

  • What materials are required for exams in this course?

    Students must bring Scantron sheets 882-E and #2 pencils to every exam.
