FAQ

Common Questions Answered.

Everything you need to know about Anatomy & Physiology II — credits, grading, transfer, and how it compares to traditional options.

What is Anatomy & Physiology II?
The second course in the A&P sequence, covering blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. It is Biology 212 with 10 chapters.
Do I need A&P I first for Anatomy & Physiology II?
Yes, strongly recommended. A&P II assumes the cellular, tissue, and systems foundation built in A&P I.
Does Anatomy & Physiology II include a lab?
No — pair with Anatomy & Physiology II Lab if your program requires a lab component.
Will my nursing program accept it?
Programs vary and some restrict A&P transfer credit. Your program's advisor can confirm the details in minutes.
How is Anatomy & Physiology II graded?
Chapter quizzes, one assignment, and a cumulative final exam. 70 or above is required to pass.
How long does Anatomy & Physiology II take to complete?
42 contact hours; typically 28–30 days.
Is this harder than A&P I?
Most students find the physiology in A&P II more conceptually demanding, though there is less memorization of structures.
Can I take both A&P courses at once?
You can enroll in both, but completing A&P I first gives a much stronger foundation.
Do I need A&P I before A&P II for Anatomy & Physiology II?
Yes, it's a sequence — A&P II assumes you know the terminology and systems covered in A&P I.
What does A&P II cover?
The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Is there a CLEP exam for A&P II?
No — no CLEP exists for anatomy and physiology, which is why a transferable self-paced course is the common alternative.
Is A&P II accepted for pre-nursing?
Commonly yes alongside A&P I, but nursing admissions verify course content closely — your registrar can confirm the equivalency in minutes.
Should I take the A&P II Lab at the same time?
If your program requires a lab science, yes — taking lecture and lab together mirrors how campus programs schedule them.
