The lab sessions will investigate the integrations of all the systems of the body. These sessions are to complement or expand upon lecture material. The session may not follow exactly with the lecture material, but are there to enhance your understanding. The emphasis will be on skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, and renal systems. Course Goals: This laboratory section aims to prepare an individual for future health science career; with the focus of creating a strong basic understanding of the structures of human anatomy. By the end of this course you should be able to: 1. Comprehend the interactions of various systems within the human body 2. Have the ability to identify many specific structures and anatomical features 3. Grasp the importance of anatomical structure within the function of the human body. 1

2 Preparing for Lab Sessions It is essential and expected that students will have thoroughly prepared for each lab exercise prior to coming to the lab session. Preparation involves reading through the lab exercise to be performed in order to be aware of the weekly outcomes; reading supporting lecture notes / text pages as needed; locating useful supporting diagrams / photos within the text and/or atlas. It is also expected that required definitions, tables and study questions are completed. As such a suitable block of time (3+ hours) should be reserved in your weekly schedule to accomplish this preparation. Lab Sessions Each lab session will be structured in 4 parts. Each lab (except for the first lab) will begin with a quiz based on the content of the lab exercise of the previous week. This will consist of a quiz in a bell ringer format with 60 seconds for each question. The marks of the quizzes will be posted the following week. Following the quizzes a short pre-lab lecture will be presented to the group as a whole to give an overview and of the week s exercises and to discuss any special procedural, safety and cleaning instructions. Following the pre-lab discussion the lab will be organized into 3 or 4 stations, students will be allowed to go between various stations to learn the material in a facilitated manner. Lab time is considered independent learning. The lab handouts are designed as a step-wise coverage of the weekly material. During this time you are free to choose whether your approach takes the form of individual or small group discovery, within the limitations of the available learning resources. The Laboratory Instructor and Teaching Assistant(s) are available to facilitate your learning. Be efficient in the use of your scheduled lab time as it is your only opportunity to access the learning resources. Arrive prepared and work conscientiously to achieve the outcomes of each weekly session. It is expected that each student will demonstrate respect for the Laboratory Instructor, Teaching Assistant(s) and their peers during each laboratory session and the exam period. Behaviour that is disruptive to a safe and comfortable teaching / learning environment will not be tolerated. At any time after the pre-lab lecture, you may approach the Teaching Assistants and Laboratory Instructors for your in lab evaluation. Course tools and learning materials a) Lab Text: Handouts from Myls each week b) Laboratory Atlas: There is no required course atlas, students may acquire any atlas they feel will be useful for them in the course. 2

3 C) Learning management system course login: Evaluation Your laboratory mark will be calculated as follows: 15% Weekly quizzes* 5% In Lab Assessment 20% Comprehensive lab exam 40% Total (of course mark) Note: you must pass in both lecture and lab components to earn a passing grade for the overall course. 1) Weekly Quizzes Quiz questions are based on the outcomes of the lab exercise of the previous week. Quizzes are presented in a bell-ringer format. Responses to questions will vary from one word to a few sentences. (Spelling counts). You will be given an opportunity to review your tests up to two weeks post the test date. *Note: A mark of zero will be assigned for a quiz that is missed (i.e. lateness or absenteeism) due to an unacceptable excuse (at the discretion of the Laboratory Instructor). A mark of zero may also be assigned for the quiz based on a lab exercise that a student did not participate in due to an unacceptable excuse (at the discretion of the Laboratory Instructor). 2) In Lab Assessment This is based off of your knowledge of that week s lab, by going to each station and demonstrating a good understanding of the material covered lab to the instructor. You are only allowed to go to and try and answer the question once. 3) Lab Exam Saturday November 29 th, 2014 A comprehensive lab exam presented in the bell-ringer format will be written prior to the university examination period.

6 GENERAL LABORATORY SAFETY FOR THE BIOLOGY TEACHING LABS It is the responsibility of the student to work in the safest possible manner at all times. Before Working in the Lab Familiarize yourself with emergency response procedures. Learn the location of emergency equipment such as the fire extinguisher, eye wash, first aid kit and spill kit. Familiarize yourself with the designated primary escape route and alternative routes. Learn the location of waste disposal containers. Be prepared for your work in the laboratory. Read all procedures thoroughly before the lab session. While in the Lab Students under the influence of any substance that may impair their physical or mental functioning (i.e., alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs) will NOT be permitted to work in the Teaching Labs. Dress appropriately for the lab session. Clothing should protect the individual's body from the neck to below the knees. - Full-length lab coats are REQUIRED; do not wear lab coats outside of the laboratory - Shoes with good sole grips and closed toes are REQUIRED - It is recommended that long hair be tied back, especially when working with chemicals or open flames - Loose articles of clothing or dangling jewelry, shorts and short skirts are not recommended Personal belongings (i.e., coats, knapsacks, etc.) must be off the floor. Cupboards and drawers are available for storage in the lab benches. Check the cleanliness of the lab bench BEFORE the lab session. Bench tops should be wiped down using the labeled cleaning spray and paper towels. Re-check the cleanliness of the bench top after it has dried. Do not touch any course supplies until instructed to do so by the Instructor after the pre-lab lecture. Listen to the prelab lecture; the Instructor will inform you about any precautionary measures you must take and any special waste disposal procedures. Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a procedural step, ask the Instructor before proceeding. Unauthorized experimentation is prohibited. Do not touch any chemicals, specimens, equipment or other materials in the laboratory setting that have not been clearly designated for your use. Do not operate any equipment without prior instruction. When removing an electrical plug from a socket, grasp the plug not the electrical cord. Hands must be completely dry before touching an electrical switch, plug or outlet. Do not eat, drink or apply cosmetics in the lab. Do not lean back on lab stools. Keep aisles clear. Push the lab stool under the bench when not in use. 6

7 Wear the personal protective equipment (i.e., surgical gloves, goggles etc.) required for the activities being conducted. Examine glassware before each use. Never use chipped or cracked glassware. Never use dirty glassware. Handle sharp instruments and glassware with care during USE and CLEANING. Never handle broken glassware with your bare hands. Use a brush and dust pan to clean up broken glass. Treat all chemicals with respect. Know the hazardous properties of the chemicals that you are working with and the prescribed safe handling and disposal procedures. Material Safety Data Sheets are available for your reference. Dispose of waste into the appropriate containers: - Dispose of SHARPS (e.g., razor blades, dissecting pins) into the designated waste container - Dispose of GLASS into the designated waste container - Dispose of TISSUE WASTE from dissections into the designated waste bag as directed by instructor - Dispose of CHEMICALS as directed by instructor - Dispose of BIOHAZARDOUS material into the designated waste container(s) Sinks are to be used only for water and those solutions designated by the Instructor. Do not put glass, tissue waste, chemical solids or paper into sinks. Pick up any dropped items (e.g., paper towels) that could create a slipping or tripping hazard, immediately. Keep work areas clean and uncluttered at all times. Absolutely no throwing of objects. Before Exiting the Lab Students are required to thoroughly clean their work area: - Bench tops should be wiped down using the labeled cleaning spray and paper towels. Re-check the cleanliness of the bench top after it has dried. - Any course supplies, equipment models etc. are to be returned to their rightful location (which may be different from where the student found the item). Students should thoroughly wash their hands. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ** If you are injured in class, or if you require medical assistance for any reason, notify your Instructor / Instructional Assistant immediately. If further medical attention is required, the student will be escorted to Health Services or the Hospital. CUTS: Bleeding can be minimized by applying pressure with gauze or a clean, dampened paper towel. Keep the cut area elevated above the level of the heart if possible. Cuts should be cleaned and bandaged under the supervision of the Instructor. If assistance is required, surgical gloves should be worn by the assistant. Materials contaminated by blood (e.g., paper towels) should be disposed of into the designated biohazardous container. Seek further medical attention if necessary. 7

8 BURNS: Note that most burns are caused by handling hot objects rather than direct exposure to flames. Use the safety equipment provided to handle hot glass or metal objects. In the case of minor burns, immerse the burned area in cold water for a period of 10 minutes or longer. Cover the burned area with a moist bandage; keep it moist. Seek further medical attention if necessary. CHEMICALS: Chemicals on the Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse immediately with copious amounts of water. Use the sink for splashes involving small skin regions. Use the safety shower for splashes involving large skin areas. Seek further medical attention if necessary. Chemicals in the Eye(s): Rinse immediately with a gentle flow of water from the eye wash station directed into the open eye(s) for 15 minutes. Seek further medical attention. Note: If the victim is a contact lens wearer and the lenses cannot be removed immediately, rinse initially with the lenses in place; remove the lenses as soon as possible and continue rinsing for a total of 15 minutes. Chemical Spills: Isolate the area and inform the Instructor IMMEDIATELY for appropriate clean up directions. FIRES: Fire on a Bench Top: Move well back from the flames. Allow the Instructor or a calm individual to reach the fire with an extinguisher. Clothing on Fire: DO NOT RUN!! Immediately STOP where you are, DROP to the floor, COVER your face, and ROLL to extinguish the flames. Once the flames are extinguished, remove clothing or jewelry from around the burned area, but do not remove any clothes which may be stuck to the burn. Proceed to the safety shower and cool burned areas thoroughly with water for a period of 10 minutes or longer. Cover the burned area with moist bandages; keep it moist. Seek further medical attention. Fire Alarm: If the alarm sounds, RESPOND immediately. STOP your activity and prepare to exit the building in a calm, orderly manner. Follow the Instructor s directions. Do not re-enter the building until instructed to do so. SAFETY NOTES FOR ROOM : Exits - Emergency escape route: Primary - Alternate - Fire extinguisher - All purpose model located 8

9 Eye Wash Station -On faucet at sink located First Aid Kit - located RULES AND SAFETY FOR DISSECTION EXERCISES IN THE BIOLOGY TEACHING LABS Before the Dissection Cameras and video equipment are prohibited in the laboratory unless explicit permission is given by the Instructor. Any wound or open sore must be covered before a student begins a dissection exercise. Disposable surgical gloves are required during dissections. Do not wear dirty gloves to open doors, handle plastic models, etc., or when walking outside of the Teaching Laboratory. Note: A student should inform the instructor, before the first dissection exercise, if he or she has an allergy to LATEX. Goggles are recommended during dissections to prevent the splashing of preservative chemicals into the eye(s). Goggles are available in the laboratory or students may provide their own. The specimen may be rinsed with tap water before dissection to remove or dilute the preservative. During the Dissection Preserved biological materials are to be treated with respect at all times. Avoid skin contact with the preservative - keep hands away from face, eyes, mouth and other skin surfaces when handling preserved specimens. Handle scalpels and other sharp instruments (e.g., scissors, razor blades) with extreme CAUTION: Use CAUTION when inserting and removing blades from the scalpel handle. Keep the blade covered to minimize the risk of a cut occurring. When using scalpels and other sharp instruments always handle and carry with the tip pointed down and away from your body. Always cut away from your body and away from others. Do not use excess force when working with a sharp instrument such as a scalpel. Never try to catch falling sharp instruments. Scalpels are only to be used for cutting tissue. DO NOT use a scalpel to explore or point to a feature / structure - use a probe. When not in use, scalpels are to be placed safely outside of the immediate working area to avoid accidental injury. Use dissecting scissors instead of a scalpel whenever possible. It tends to cut more efficiently for most work and is less dangerous to use. Use the designated "SHARPS" container for disposal of used scalpel blades and razor blades. When studying visual aids (e.g., bones, models), do not use a pen or pencil as a pointer. Pens and pencils leave marks on these aids that are impossible to remove. Instead, use the provided wooden pointers that won't leave marks. 9

10 After the Dissection Properly dispose of all animal tissue into the designated waste disposal bag. Dissection material is never to be thrown into the garbage cans and is never to be removed from the lab. Carefully clean all dissecting tools with soap and water. Thoroughly clean the dissecting tray or board and rinse with tap water. Do not leave tissue waste in the sink. Stack the trays or boards to allow for drying. Thoroughly clean up your work area. Bench tops should be wiped down using the labeled cleaning spray and paper towels. Re-check the cleanliness of the bench top after it has dried. Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water. 10
