Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles for SCUHS

BIO226 – Anatomy and Physiology II (lecture)
Units: 3
This course is the second in a two-part series covering gross and microscopic structure of human body and
basic understanding of physiological mechanisms. This course introduces the principles of regulation and
integration of the body including the fundamentals of nervous tissue and the nervous system covering the
central/peripheral and somatic/autonomic nervous systems; the cardiovascular system including blood, heart,
blood vessels and physiology of circulation; the lymphatic system including the lymphoid organs and tissues,
the immune system including innate and adaptive body defenses, the respiratory system including functional
anatomy and respiratory physiology, the urinary system, the principles of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base
balance in human body, and the reproductive system including both male and female sexual reproduction
anatomy and physiology. Laboratory includes work with microscope, Anatomage table, human body models,
and cadavers. Accepted as transfer credit by numerous colleges and universities.
Prerequisites: High School Diploma or equivalent; Anatomy and Physiology I
Corequisites: BIO226L
Restrictions: Accelerated Science

BIO231 – Microbiology (lecture)
Units: 3
The course is designed to convey general concepts, methods, and applications of microbiology for health
sciences. The role of microorganisms in the environment and in human disease is discussed. Topics include:
immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology; the morphology, biochemistry, and physiology of
microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi; the diseases caused by these microorganisms and their
treatments. Laboratory portion of the course provides first hand experiences that inform, illustrate, expand,
and reinforce major concepts discussed in lecture.
