COURSE DESCRIPTION:   An introduction to the principles of the structure and function of the human body.  A beginning course designed to emphasize the integration of all body systems.  Lecture 3 hours, lab three hours.  Prerequisite BIOL 1144.

In this course, your notes are your study guide.  For every hour of lecture time in a college course, you should spend at least three hours reading the text, completing workbook assignments, and reviewing notes.  Don't get caught short!

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1.
  The student will describe the organization of living matter as cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

2.  The student will use the language of anatomy and physiology.

3.  The student will discuss the development of the human body during embryogenesis.

4.   The student will describe the basic requirements for sustaining life within the body.

5.   The student will identify the basic types of tissue within the body, their locations, principal characteristics, and functions.

6.   The student will describe the general features and functions of bones and the joints between them.

7.     The student will name the bones of the body as well as major bone landmarks.

8.     The student will discuss the contractile nature of muscle tissue and how muscles of the human body are constructed and controlled.

9.   The student will describe the major movements made possible by different muscles and joints.

10. The student will name the major muscles of the body.

11. The student will discuss the structure and function of the basic parts of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) and their relation to the rest of the body.

12.The student will diagram the structure and function of the various components of the heart and circulatory system and the blood circulation pathway.

13.The student will identify the structures of the lungs as well as the passageways and organs of the body that provide for air transfer between the body and the environment.

14.The student will illustrate the mechanisms for  breathing and for production of voice.

15.The student will locate the digestive organs and discuss their roles in handling food from preliminary tasting to final evacuation.

16.The student will describe the roles of chemicals in the action of digestion.

17. The student will discuss absorption, storage, and transport of nutrients from the digestive system.

18. The student will identify the structures and function of the excretory system.

19. The student will identify the principles structures and functions of the reproductive system.

20.The student will locate the principle endocrine glands.

21. The student will discuss the role of the endocrine system as it relates to different systems of the body.

22. The student will described how hormones effect change in target tissues.

WORKBOOK:   Anatomy and Physiology Coloring Workbook
               
8th edition, Marieb
             Chapters 1-16

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION:    Lecture includes “chalk talks” to teach and discuss material presented. Class participation is very important and so is reading of the text.   The workbook is individual practice/work with the material presented.  Laboratory consists of short “chalk talks” about the day’s activity followed by student experimentation in the lab.   Students will work in small groups but report their results individually.   Some computer work will be required.

GRADES:     LECTURE is 70% of your grade.  There will be four one-hour examinations and each will count for 14% of your grade, or 56% altogether.   The cumulative final will determine 14% of your grade. ATTENDANCE is expected on a regular basis.  It will be impossible to satisfactorily complete this course if you have excessive absences. EXAMS will consist of problems, diagrams, definitions, multiple choice, and short answer questions relating to the course objectives.  Each exam will be announced at least one week in advance.  If a student misses one exam, he/she must take a make-up exam within one calendar week.  Only one make-up is allowed.  Any additional missed exams will be recorded as  ‘O’.

LABORATORY will make up 30% of your grade.  The lab practicals will count for 20% and the workbook and lab work will count 10%. Due to time and laboratory space constraints, make-up labs are not an option.  If you do not attend lab, you will receive a zero for the lab work you miss.  No lab test make-ups will be given.

 GRADING SCALE:         A  90-100
          B  80-89
          C  70-79
           D  60-69
           F   0 -59

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the representation of the words or ideas of another as one’s own, including: direct quotation without both attribution and indication that the material is being directly quoted, e.g. quotation marks; paraphrase without attribution; paraphrase with or without attribution where the wording of the original remains substantially intact and is represented as the author’s own; expression in one’s own words, but without attribution, of ideas, arguments, lines of reasoning, facts, processes, or other products of the intellect where such material is learned from the work of another and is not part of the general fund of common knowledge.

Disabilities
Rogers State University is committed to providing students with disabilities equal access to educational programs and services.  Any student who has a disability that he or she believes will require some form of academic accommodation must inform the professor of such need during or immediately following the first class attended.  Before any educational accommodation can be provided, it is the responsibility of each student to prove eligibility for assistance by registering for services through Student Affairs.

Students needing more information about Student Disability Services should contact the Director of Student Development at 343-7579.
