Office Hours: M/W: 12:00-12:30 pm T/R: 8:30-9:30am F: 9:00am-12:00pm 3:30-4:30 pm Course Description: This course focuses on the structure and functions of human cells, tissues, and organs, including the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. This is the first semester of an integrated course for students pursuing professions in allied health and to meet the requirements for an Associate in Arts or Sciences Degree. PURPOSE: To provide a general understanding of human anatomy and physiology for students pursuing professions in allied health. PREREQUSITE for BIOL 2401: TSI compliance in reading and one semester of college chemistry. One semester of general biology or zoology or microbiology is HIGHLY recommended. NOTE: This is listed as a SOPHOMORE level course and will be taught as such presuming some knowledge of biological sciences and chemistry. REQUIRED MATERIALS: 1. Text: E.N. Marieb & K. Hoehn. Human Anatomy & Physiology. Pearson Benjamin Cummings. 8 th Ed. 2. Laboratory Atlas: M. Hutchinson et. al. A Brief Atlas of the Human Body. Pearson Benjamin Cummings. 2 nd Edition.

Morton Pub. Co Student Learning Outcomes: Students who have completed this course will be expected to: 1) Discuss the principle of homeostasis in regulating human physiology including examples of positive and negative feedback systems. 2) Demonstrate knowledge and appropriate use of anatomical nomenclature. 3) Display knowledge of the structure of eukaryotic cell, functions of cytoplasmic organelles, and membrane transport mechanisms. 4) Describe the life cycle of a eukaryotic cell. 5) Demonstrate understanding of histology, including basic tissue types, their function, and location. 6) Identify the bones of the human skeleton including: anatomical location, major structures, and articulations. 7) Describe the form and function of cells found within the skeletal system.

2 8) Explain the details of bone development, bone growth, and bone repair. 9) Identify the anatomical location of selected skeletal muscles and specify their origin, insertion, and action. 10) Describe the structure, function, and organization of cells found in the muscular system. 11) Describe the physiological properties of skeletal muscle including excitation and contraction coupling, motor unit contraction, and metabolism. 12) Demonstrate understanding of the central and peripheral nervous systems: organization pattern, anatomical locations, and functional properties. 13) Describe the function and form of neuroglia and neurons. 14) Discuss electrophysiological properties of the nervous tissue including membrane potentials, action potentials, synaptic transmission, and activation of the neuromuscular junction. 15) Explain the effects and control of the autonomic nervous system including target organs, neurotransmitters, and receptors. CLASSROOM POLICIES - In other words these are the rules. You break em you suffer the consequences. 1. Attendance: A. Attendance at both lecture and lab are mandatory. Whenever absences become excessive and, in the instructor s opinion, minimum course objectives cannot be met due to absences, the student will be withdrawn from the course. - Attendance is worth 40pts (~ 5%) - Unexcused = lost 2 pts (1pt/lecture & 1pt/lab) - Late arrival to class = tardy (2 tardies = 1 absence) - You must stay the entire class period (2 leave early = 1 absence) B. A student with 3 consecutive or 6 total unexcused absences -WILL NO LONGER RECIVE CREDIT FOR ATTENDANCE -May be administratively withdrawn from the course C. Excused Absences: - The instructor will determine if a student s absence is excused. - Excuses MUST be documented IN WRITING and provided within 48hrs of the absence. 2. Grading: A. NO grades in lecture OR lab will be dropped B. If you miss an exam due to EXTREEM circumstances WRITTEN proof must be provided within 48hrs of the missed exam - Otherwise a grade of ZERO (0) will be assigned to your grade. - IF your excuse is deemed valid by the instructor you will be given a COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER which will be substituted for your missed exam. C. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN!!! D. Exams: - 6 equally weighted exams each worth 100 points. (~75 %) - Dates for exams are listed on the last page but are subject to change the instructor sees fit. - Some Exams will have a lecture & laboratory component

3 - Lecture exams include multiple choice, matching, & true/false. - Laboratory exams include multiple choice &/or fill in the blank. - Laboratory exams will include structure identification and will REQUIRE CORRECT SPELLING for full credit. - Most exams will have a bonus section. - The Final Exam (Exam 6) will have a comprehensive portion. - If you feel a question was graded incorrectly or unfairly PLEASE make an appointment to see me during my office hours. F. In class/laboratory worksheets or quizzes: - Almost every class period an assignment or quiz will be given. - Will have a variety of formats. - Quizzes will be multiple choice, matching, or short answer. - Account for a total of 160 points (~ 20%). - If you are absent you will receive a zero for that assignment/quiz; NO EXCEPTIONS (so don t ask me!). G General Information: - It is your responsibility to keep track of your own grades. - I will be happy to verify your calculations but DON T ASK ME WHAT YOUR GRADE IS if you haven t added up your points first. - You will be allowed to keep all your assignments except the exams. H. Grading Scale: A = pts B = pts C = pts D = pts F< 475pts I. Dropping: Any official drop initiated by the student before the LAST DAY to drop will result in a "W" on your transcript. Any drop initiated by the instructor for excessive absences will result in either an "F" or "X" on the transcript. 3. Academic Honesty: A. From SPC General Catalog: It is the aim of the faculty of South Plains College to foster a spirit of complete honesty and a high standard of integrity. The attempt of any student to present as his or her own any work which he or she has not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty and administration as a most serious offense and renders the offender liable to serious consequences, possibly suspension. B. Cheating: Dishonesty of any kind on examinations or on written assignments, illegal possession of examinations, the use of unauthorized notes during an examination, obtaining information during an examination from the textbook or from the examination paper of another student, assisting others to cheat, alteration of grade records, illegal entry or unauthorized presence in an office are examples of cheating. Complete honesty is required of the student in the presentation of any and all phases of course work. This applies to quizzes of whatever length, as well as to final examinations, to daily reports and to term papers.

4 C. Plagiarism: Offering the work of another as one's own, without proper acknowledgment, is plagiarism; therefore, any student who fails to give credit for quotations or essentially identical expression of material taken from books, encyclopedias, magazines and other reference works, or from the themes, reports or other writings of a fellow student, is guilty of plagiarism. 4. Electronic Equipment: A. No cell phones, IPods, Nanos, Blackberries or other electronic devices will be permitted during class time. B. If I find you utilizing this equipment during my class time you will be asked to leave and receive an absence for that class period. C. Cameras MAY be used during laboratory sessions to photograph the models ONLY. 5. Special Needs: Students with disabilities, including but not limited to physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in this class should notify the Special Services Office the first week of the semester so that the appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal law, a student requesting accommodations must provide acceptable documentation of his/her disability to the Special Services Coordinator. For more information, call or visit the Special Services Office in the Student Services building, ext Lecture Guidelines: A. Taping my lectures IS permitted. B. Please let me know at the beginning of the semester if you plan to record my lectures. C. If you miss a lecture please ask a fellow student for the notes before you ask me. D. NOTE-TAKING: You will need to obtain lecture notes and labs from the MySPC website. It is your responsibility to have the materials that you need each class. See additional handout. 7. Dismissal Policy: A high standard of conduct is expected of all students. It is assumed that obedience to the law, respect for properly constituted authority, personal honor, integrity, and common sense will guide the actions of each member of this class. Any student who fails to perform to these expected standards will be asked to withdraw from the class.
