Course
Number/Title Credit Hours: BI201 -- Anatomy & Physiology -- 4
credits
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

student will be able to:
1.
Define and describe the scientific method.
2.
Describe basic characteristics of life.
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.

Final
Exam (Comprehensive)
Approaches
to teaching:
1.
Lectures, class discussions, interactions and reading assignments will be
the main tools to provide
a learning environment.
2.
Powerpoint presentations, lecture outlines, handouts and system models
will be used to
supplement lectures.
3.
Clinical applications and health related topics will be included in order
to enhance lecture
material and provide practical information that will be of value to
students in their personal lives
as well as their professional careers.
4.
Practice tests will be provided for review purposes in order to prepare
students for examinations.
5.
Written examinations including a comprehensive final will be used as the
methods for evaluation.
Procedures
for Evaluation and Grading
1.
Attendance policy. The
student is expected to attend all lectures. Two class hours 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.
One percentage point deduction for each hour missed after 2 hours,
so:
3 hours missed = 1
percentage point deduction
4 hours missed = 2
percentage points deduction
5 hours missed = 3
percentage points deduction
6 hours missed = 4
percentage points deduction
7 hours missed = 5
percentage points deduction
The
student will sign an attendance sheet each day of class. If you do not sign on the roll sheets
you are officially absent for that day.
If a
student has perfect lecture attendance throughout the semester, he/she
will receive a two percentage point bonus at the end.
2.
Makeup
test policy. The student should
notify the professor if, for valid reason, a test
cannot
be taken as scheduled. Makeup tests
will be given solely at the discretion of the professor and only if valid reason
has been established. Every effort should be made to take a test as scheduled.
It is the student's responsibility to know when a test will be
administered. The first makeup test
will be given without penalty.
However, a full letter grade (10 percentage points) will be deducted from
subsequent makeup tests.

better, but please take advantage of all opportunities
offered.

Academic
Honesty College Policy:
Manor College expects
that its students will uphold the principles of truth and honesty in the
performance of all academic work.
Plagiarism (the unacknowledged use of another person's words or
assistance) and academic cheating (falsifying data, submitting without the
Instructor's approval work in one course which was done for another, actually
doing another student's work and/or the use of any unauthorized aid) are
prohibited.
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.
