What is the difference between AP I & AP II?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

When I took the course it was combined together and worth six credits.

The first half of the class was lecture and the second half lab. I'm wondering now if the college I plan on transferring to next semester will require that I take AP II....

Specializes in Operating Room.

As for transferability, you will need to talk to an advisor of that school. It should be ok, as long as you went into depth in Anatomy and Physiology.

For my school, A&P I covered:

**Introduction/directional terms & the chemistry chapter. (Although we actually skipped the chem).

**Histology & Integumentary system

**Musclular tissue & Nervous tissue

**Muscular system & Skeletal system,

**Nervous system (CNS & PNS) & Special Senses

A&P II covered:

**Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System & Blood

**Urinary system & Digestive system

**Endocrine system, Ageing & Death

With each system we also covered litte chapters such as Electrolyte and fluid balance, Nutrition, etc. We covered the anatomy and physiology at the same time in lecture, as well as lab.

2 lecture days / 2 lab times per week for A&P 1

A&P 2....during summer...lecture was on video tape, lab was 4 X week.

Thanks for replying so quickly. We covered everything that you listed here. My A&P was hell and I do not desire to take any part of the class again! However, I think Pathogenic Microbiology was harder!!

Pre-Nursing Microbiology is VERY helpful once you get into nursing school...pay close attention to disease processes and Healthcare classess will be much easier.
