Course Number/Title Credit Hours:
BI201LAB B -- Anatomy & Physiology Lab -- 4 credits (includes
lecture credits) Mon.
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 understanding 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.
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 will be deducted for each laboratory missed
after
the first laboratory absence,
so:
2 laboratory classes missed = 2 percentage points
deduction
3 laboratory classes missed = 4 percentage points
deduction
4 laboratory classes missed = 6 percentage points
deduction
The student will sign a dated attendance sheet
each day of lab. If you do not sign
in 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 practical policy. The student should notify the professor
if, for valid reason, a practical cannot be taken as scheduled. Makeup practicals 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.)
6.
Laboratory Evaluation system: Laboratory is worth 25% of the entire BI
201 grade

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.
