COURSE STRUCTURE AND PURPOSE:
Human Anatomy & Physiology 2 is an intensive and immersive collegiate course organized into 4 learning periods delivered across 29 days. Each learning
period is composed of 2 face-to-face lecture sessions, 2 face-to-face laboratory sessions, and a minimum of 15 hours of self-paced, web and text-based
learning activities. The purpose of this course is to provide the participant formal experiences that generate a set of learning outcomes described on Page 2
of this Syllabus.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to convey the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it from modern
evidence-based anatomical and physiological perspectives. Topics include blood, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, immune system, respiratory
system, digestive system, urinary system, and male and female reproductive systems. Emphasis is placed on the integration of systems as they relate to
normal health. Laboratory exercises provide first hand experience with the structures and processes.
MEETING TIMES:
TEXTBOOK INFORMATION:
Please keep in mind that your attendance is required (see below our attendance

COURSE EXPECTATIONS AND OBJECTIVES:
This course is designed to be a participatory endeavor between you, your colleagues, and your instructors during lecture and lab with learning as
the ultimate goal. We encourage and expect you to take responsibility for your learning, bringing your life and professional experiences and prior
knowledge into play in an interactive manner. To help you fulfill this requirement, try adopting a growth mindset that involves learning for the sake of
learning and personal enrichment rather than learning exclusively for the test or for a desired letter-grade in the course. Attend all lecture and
laboratory sessions, be punctual, interact with your colleagues, be curious by asking questions, and provide real-life examples of your experiences
related to what is being discussed. Plan to devote a minimum of 15 hours each week outside of class on our web-based platform. Use this time to
exchange information among your classmates in the student forums provided. The web-based platform includes several practice quizzes and
exercises designed to maximize learning. Keep in mind that meaningful learning extends beyond mere “memorization” and involves developing the
capacity to describe and predict phenomena. Successful participation in all aspects of this course is expected to result in a capacity to:
1.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of blood and predict physiological consequences of a given dysfunctional blood.
2.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the cardiovascular system and predict physiological
consequences of a given cardiovascular dysfunction.
3.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the lymphatic and immune systems and predict
physiological consequences of a given lymphatic or immune dysfunction.
4.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the respiratory system and predict physiological
consequences of a given respiratory dysfunction.
5.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the digestive system and predict physiological
consequences of a given digestive dysfunction.
6.Describe the anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the Urinary System and predict the physiological consequences
of a given Urinary System dysfunction.
7.Describe physiological processes that regulate body fluid & electrolyte balance, and predict systemic consequences of a given fluid and electrolyte
imbalance.
8.Describe the general anatomy & physiology of the cells, tissues, and organs that compose the male and female reproductive systems and predict
physiological consequences of a given reproductive dysfunction.
9.Describe the general anatomy and physiology of human physical development.
10.Describe general processes of human heredity.
11.Utilize modern tools of anatomy and physiology in an integrative manner to produce and disseminate scientific information about the human body
that may contribute to therapies for contemporary major human disease(s).

ABSENTEEISM:
Keep in mind that this is a face-to-face course. It is not a hybrid or distance learning course, and as such your attendance is expected during all lecture
and laboratory sessions. In order to obtain the full number of credits for this course, you must be present in the classroom/laboratory a minimum of 90% of
the time. Most importantly, you must sign the attendance sheet or register your presence electronically during each session for both lecture and laboratory
– this is the only acceptable way to prove attendance!
On the other hand, there are some situations that can be recognized as excused absences (such as a student’s serious illness or a death in the student’s
immediate family), as long as they are properly documented. Please visit www.integratedscienceprogram.com/academic-policies/ and read our “ISP
Guidelines on Attendance” to get acquainted with detailed provisions on absenteeism.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL:
You are entitled to cancel enrollment on the course with no financial responsibility (with full refund, except for the non-refundable application and registration
fees) if you fill-out an online drop request by the Friday before the second weekend of instruction You can withdrawal from the course at any time and
may be entitled to a partial refund. Please visit www.integratedscienceprogram.com/academic-policies/ and read our “ISP Guidelines on Course
Withdrawal” to get acquainted with detailed provisions on course withdrawal.
QUIZZES/TESTS/EXAMS GENERAL GUIDELINES:
Please make sure you are in class at least 15 minutes before the start of the quiz, test, or exam. If you are late, you will be granted admission to the room
provided nobody has finished the quiz/test/exam and left the room; however, if you do arrive late then you will NOT be granted extra time to complete the
quiz, test, or exam in question, and the scheduled assessment ending time will stand.
It is expected that you abide by the highest standards of honesty and integrity in the performance of academic assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams,
avoiding academic dishonesty in all of its forms, including cheating and plagiarism. Should a cheating or plagiarism incident occur, the instructor in charge
of the course has the authority to determine the penalty to be applied ranging from taking points off to failing the student for that assignment, quiz, test, or
exam. Please visit www.integratedscienceprogram.com/academic-policies/ and read our “ISP Guidelines on Cheating and Plagiarism” to get acquainted
with detailed provisions on academic integrity.
