Text

 

Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, 7th ed. by Martini

Lab Manual

Lab manuals and atlas packaged with the text

 

Credit

Three Lectures and one Lab = 4 credit hours

 

Prerequisite

BIO-111

 

Course Objective

This course covers an introduction to the structural and functional organization of the human body where Integumentary, musculoskeletal and nervous systems will be discussed in detail.

 

Purpose

 

Anatomy and Physiology course is a prerequisite for majority of the allied health professions.

 

Honors

This course can be taken as an Honors course for those with the GPA of at least 3.5. Students with 3.5 GPA and 12 credit hours of work are also encouraged to join Phi Theta Kappa organization to benefit from scholarship opportunities and more. We also have an active research lab in the department studying the effect of certain sugars on diabetes. Meet with the Instructor immediately if you are interested. Last day to sign up for honors is March 7.

 

Field trip

A field trip to the cadaver lab at the Forest Park campus will be scheduled.

 

Grading Scale: Ninety-100% is an A, 80-89% is a B, 70-79% is a C, 60-69% is a D, 59% and below is an F. Last day to withdraw from regular semester course with a grade of "W" is Friday, April 11. If a student is not successful in obtaining a passing grade, an F will be automatically given. Final grade is based upon the completion of the following assignments.  Each assignment carries the specific weight shown.

Quizzes

     There will be 5 unit tests. The fifth test is also considered as the final exam, which is not a comprehensive exam. The total number of points earned towards quizzes, class participation, and other assignments will be added up at the end of the semester. If the weight of the extra credit is more than your lowest test grade, extra credit grade will replace the lowest test grade or a missed test.

 

Accessories: The Science and Math Learning Center (SM-246) has study guides, models, microscopes, slides, and textbooks available for use and experienced tutors provide additional help. 

 

ADA Statement: Any student in this class with a documented disability, who needs special testing arrangements, note taking, or other accommodations, should feel free to discuss this with the instructor. All discussions will remain confidential. No information will be shared without student’s permission.

 

Attendance: Lectures will include materials not found in the text, as well as elucidation of text materials. Thus, attendance is very critical. Accurate records of attendance will be maintained. Attendance for lecture tests is required during your scheduled date and time. If a student could not be present for a scheduled test due to sickness or an unavoidable circumstance, contact the instructor as soon as possible. In such case, the test will be given at a mutually agreeable time. If the student has not contacted the teacher prior to the test and does not attend a scheduled test and wants to take the test at a later time, a test will be given and graded at 80% scale (20% points are cut). In case class is cancelled, the test will be given at the next scheduled class period. Short quizzes, announced or unannounced, will be given periodically to check student progress and encourage regular study habits. If you are late to class and if other students have already taken the quiz, the quiz will not be given at a later time. No make ups will be given for quizzes or other in-class activities that would contribute towards extra credit except in an extremely difficult situation. Students are responsible to obtain handouts or important announcements shared when they were absent either by contacting the instructor directly or through their classmates.

 

     Cell phone usage such as receiving calls or making calls or for any other purpose is strictly prohibited. It is strongly advised that the cell phone must not be brought to the classroom. If one has to carry it, it must be muted. If the cell phone distracts the class, 5 points will be cut from the extra credit section each time.

 

     Students are required to successfully complete both lecture and laboratory portions of this course in the same semester. One must earn a lab grade of at least 50% in order to qualify for a passing grade in this course.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMAN BODY

Anatomy: 

Subdivisions- Systemic Anatomy-

                     Gross Anatomy-

                                                                          Microscopic Anatomy-

Cytology:

                                                                        Histology:

Physiology: Systemic Physiology-

 

LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION: Chemical (molecular)® Cellular ® Tissue® Organ ® Organ system ® Organism (Fig. 1-1, page 7).

 

Organ Systems (pages 9-10): Eleven systems:

Integumentary-

Skeletal-

Muscular-

Nervous-

Endocrine-

Cardiovascular-

Lymphatic and immune-

Respiratory-

Digestive-

Urinary-

Reproductive-

 

HOMEOSTASIS (pages 11-14): a steady state.

Three Components (receptor, control center, and the effector) help maintain homeostasis (Fig. 1-3, page 12).

 

Feedback Systems (pages 12-13): help maintain homeostasis. Two types:

Negative feedback- when a change is reduced back to normal; most common (Fig.1-4, page 13)

Positive feedback- when a change is made bigger and bigger (Fig. 1-5, page 14).

 

***Work on the topics below in the lab***

SUPERFICIAL ANATOMY: ANATOMICAL LANDMARKS

Anatomical position: (Fig. 1.6 page 16)

 

Regions: Refer to Fig. 1-6, page16 and Table 1-2, page 17.

 

Anatomical Directions: superior-inferior; anterior (ventral)-posterior (dorsal); medial-lateral; superficial-deep and proximal-distal (Table 1-3, page 19; Fig. 1-8, page 18).

 

Planes through the human body: (Fig.1-9 and Table 1-4, page 20). Sagittal-

       Transverse (cross or horizontal)-

       Coronal or Frontal-

 

Ventral Body Cavity (Fig. 1-10, page 21): Thoracic and abdominopelvic (page 22) cavities.

Pericardial and pleural cavities:
