The second half of A&P — endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, and urogenital systems, plus the body's homeostatic controls.
BIO 302 continues the survey of human anatomy and physiology that BIO 301 began. The semester works through the body systems that the first course didn't reach: the endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, and urogenital systems, along with the homeostatic control mechanisms that keep all of them coordinated.
As in BIO 301, the integrated lab is where students actually build their working knowledge. The course pairs hands-on anatomical identification with deeper physiological understanding of how each system functions in health and how those systems interact. Lab fee required.
Study the Endocrine System
Examine hormonal regulation and its role across body systems.
Examine Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
Work through circulation, blood, the heart, and lymphatic immunity.
Study Respiratory and Digestive Systems
Trace gas exchange, breathing mechanics, digestion, and absorption.
Examine the Urogenital System
Work through kidney function, urinary control, and reproductive anatomy.
Engage Homeostatic Mechanisms
Understand how the body's control systems maintain stability across changing conditions.
A Biblical Worldview treats the integrated coordination of the human body — circulation, hormones, immunity, respiration — as something worth careful attention. BIO 302 develops the working physiological knowledge that prepares students for pathophysiology, medicine, and any health-related vocation.
BIO 302 completes the A&P sequence that pre-health students need. Explore the programs that include it.
