BIO 160BW - A & P Case StudiesCredits: 2 Instructional Contact Hours: 2
Provides comprehensive review and updates of contents of human anatomy and physiology using case studies of six different body systems (cardiovascular/respiratory/nervous/digestive/renal/endocrine). Focuses on developing critical thinking, problem solving, and student directed learning while establishing mastery of material.
Prerequisite(s): READING LEVEL 2, WRITING LEVEL 2 AND MATH LEVEL 3 and BIO 140W or BIO 153W or BIO 241 with a “C” (2.0) minimum grade Corequisite(s): None Lecture Hours: 30 Lab Hours: 0 Meets MTA Requirement: Natural Science Pass/NoCredit: Yes
Outcomes and Objectives
- Demonstrate understanding of the interaction between the human cardiovascular and other systems of the human body.
- Introduce a case study involving the cardiovascular system.
- Make a list of symptoms which may lead to the main problem.
- Describe the anatomy of the cardiovascular system, including heart, arteries, veins and capillaries.
- Illustrate the physiology of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries.
- Analyze and compare the symptoms of the patient in the presented case (i.e. the blood pressure and EKG) to the physiological state.
- Relate the main problem in the presented case to at least 4 other body systems i.e. respiratory/ digestive/ renal/ integumentary.
- Suggest treatment options and how to solve problems of the case.
- Work as a team and analyze the case study using your textbooks from your previous Biology classes/ models and additional handouts from instructor.
- Demonstrate understanding of the interaction between the human respiratory and other systems of the human body.
- Introduce a case study involving the respiratory system.
- Make a list of symptoms which lead to the main problems.
- Illustrate the anatomy of the respiratory system.
- Review the external and internal respiration.
- Analyze and compare the symptoms of the patient in the presented case with the physiology of breathing.
- Relate the main problem in the presented case to at least 4 other body systems i.e. digestive/renal/ integumentary/ nervous.
- Suggest treatment options and how to solve problems.
- Work as a team and analyze the case study using your textbooks from your previous Biology classes/ models and additional handouts from instructor.

- Demonstrate understanding of the interaction between the human endocrine system and other systems of the human body.
- Introduce a case study involving the endocrine system.
- Name the different organs of the endocrine system.
- Describe each gland and its hormones.
- Review the hypothalamus/ hypophysis feedback mechanism
- Make a list of symptoms which lead to the main problem and relate it to a gland.

- Work as a team and analyze the case study using your textbooks from your previous Biology classes/ models and additional handouts from instructor.
- Develop a case study involving at least 3 major body systems.
- Will work in a team (often of 3 students) to develop a case; indicate the patient’s age, gender, and a brief history of the chief complaint that brought the patient to the hospital or to the student’s attention. Note the important physical observations and assessments that were reported.
- Determine what information will be needed to fully understand the medical condition of the individual.
- Focus on the chief medical complaint and any interesting associated problem, discuss the underlying anatomy and physiology that explain the physical condition of this patient.
