Course Number/Title Credit Hours: BI201LABC
-- Anatomy & Physiology Lab -- 4 credits (includes lecture credits) Wed.
Pre-Requisites: BI101
Course Description: An
introduction to the structure and function of the major organ systems of the
human body. After a brief examination of
cellular and tissue structure, the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems are
studied. Laboratory will include
experiments in cell physiology, microscopic review of prepared tissue slides,
practical study of human bones, and dissection of rat and sheep organs. (Three hours lecture / two hours laboratory).
Philosophy of the Course: Anatomy
and Physiology introduces the student entering a biological science or health
profession to a detailed examination of the structures and functions of the
human body. It is the goal of your
professor to provide a sound foundation in understanding both the normal action
of the human body, as well as the way in which disorders affect that
function. The course is designed to
provide a solid background for advanced study.
Course Objectives: Upon
completion of Biology 201, the student will be able to:
1. Define
and describe the scientific method.
2. Describe
basic characteristics of life and the process of evolution
3. Describe
the organization of the human body, including the molecular, cellular,
histological
and anatomical levels of organization.
4. Describe
the dorsal and ventral body cavities and the organs contained therein.
5. Know
and use relevant terminology pertaining to the human body.
6. Explain
how the systems interact to maintain homeostasis.
7. Describe
the structure and function of the integumentary
system.
8. Define
and describe the components of the skeletal system.
9. Demonstrate
an understanding of how movement is accomplished; describe the
anatomy
and physiology of the muscular system.
10. Identify the structures associated with the central nervous system and explain the functions of each.
11. Describe
the location and function of the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, and explain
the interaction between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous
system.
12. Describe the functions of the sympathetic
and parasympathetic divisions of the
autonomic
nervous system.
Student Outcomes:
1. Upon
completion of the lecture section of the course, students will have gained a
basic understanding of body organization.
a) Measure:
Students are evaluated by the first exam.
b) Standard:
70% of the class will receive a grade of "C" or better in the first
exam.
2. Upon
completion of the laboratory section of the course, students will have gained
an understandin of the anatomy of the skeletal
system.
a) Measure:
Students are evaluated by a major bone practical in the laboratory.
b) Standard:
70% of the class will receive a grade of "C" or better in the
laboratory
bone practical.
3. Upon completion of the course, students
will be prepared to correlate lecture and laboratory topics, and to understand
the functional relationships among the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
a) Measure:
Students are evaluated by means of a comprehensive essay on
the
final examination.
b) Standard:
70% of students in the class will receive a grade of "C" or better
in
the comprehensive essay.
Laboratory Schedule (see attached)
Approaches to teaching in the laboratory:
1. Class
interaction.
2. System
models
3. Laboratory
worksheets, experiments, dissections, microscopic study. The rat will be used
as a representative mammal for dissection and study. Sheep brains will also be
dissected.
5. Quizzes
and laboratory practicals.
Procedures for Evaluation and Grading
1. Attendance
policy. The student is expected to
attend all laboratories. One laboratory may be missed without penalty,
whether these are excusable absences (due to illness, for example) or
inexcusable. A student who has produced a doctor's excuse for an absence should
not assume that he/she is "entitled to" another absence. A missed lab cannot usually be made up.
Two
percentage points are deducted for each laboratory missed after the first
laboratory absence, so:
2 laboratories missed = 2 percentage points
deduction
3 laboratories missed = 6 percentage points
deduction
4 laboraotires
missed = 8
percentage points deduction
The student will sign a dated attendance sheet
each day of lab. If you do not sign on
the roll sheets you are officially absent for that day.
If a student has perfect attendance
throughout the semester, he/she will receive a two percentage point bonus at
the end.
2.
Makeup lab practical policy. The
student should notify the professor if, for valid reason, a practical cannot be
taken as scheduled. A makeup practical
will be given solely at the discretion of the professor and only if valid
reason has been established. A makeup
practical may be oral, and is likely to be more difficult than the original
practical. Every effort should be made
to take a practical as scheduled. It is the student's responsibility to know
when a practical will be administered.
3. Assignment
policy. For full grade credit, any
assignment must be submitted on time. If
submitted within one week of the due date, the assignment will be reduced one
letter grade. If submitted more than one week after the due date, the student
receives an 'F' for the assignment. If not submitted at all, the student
receives an incomplete grade ('I') for the course, which will become an 'F' for
the course.
4.
Dissection participation and clean up policy. The dissection participation and clean up
grade is worth a total of 10 points of the lab grade. 3 points will be deducted for lack of
participation of the rat, spinal cord or sheep brain dissection. One point will be deducted any time
participation of clean up during a laboratory is avoided. (It is possible to
have enough points deducted that it would accumulate in more than 10 points of
the lab grade. Therefore, it is recommended that cooperation in clean up is to
the student's benefit.)

Digital plagiarism (cutting,
pasting and copying sections of an article written by another: downloading
papers from a paper mill web site and submitting as work written by the
student: utilizing any graphics or audio or video clips without permission: and
submitting any work with an electronic source without correct citation ) is strictly prohibited and a violation of fair
use and intellectual property rights.
The Academic Dean will be
formally notified of any violation of the policy. The penalty for the first
violation will be a grade of F for that assignment. Any subsequent violation
will result in a grade of F for the course and possible dismissal from the
College.
