You need to check the description of A&P I and A&P II in your college catalog. That will be the most accurate description of the difference between these two courses. Those descriptions are also what other schools use in determining whether or not they give transfer credits for classes when someone applies to another college and wants to get credit for classes taken.

I previously checked the description of these classes well before posting this question.
I am asking this particular question on this specific forum because my college catalog does not give a clear description of A&P II. When I look up A&P II's description, it simply states, "A continuation of A&P I; recommended prerequisite is A&P I."
I see. I've had to take A&P twice over my college career and both times it was a two semester deal and set up the same way. First semester was a basic introduction to the organization of the body (cell, tissues, organs) and then we started studying the systems of the body with the bones first, then the muscles and on to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. That covered the first semester. The second semester was everything else including the GI system, digestion and the ATP cycle and energy. Genetics was also covered in the second semester. The second semester was called physiology because those body systems focused more on their function more so than their structure. (With bones and muscles you are more focused on their structure more so than their function.)

What's the predominant difference between A&P I and A&P II? I know this question sounds silly, but I have not taken either of these courses yet. Thanks in advance to anyone who is kind enough to respond. :)
