Course Description:  A course in anatomy and physiology wherein the functions of each of the organ systems is studied.  Emphasis will be placed on the nervous, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, excretory, and endocrine systems.  Designed for majors in medical technology, radiology, home economics, physical education, psychology, and secondary education with teaching emphasis in biology.  Lecture three hours.  Laboratory three hours. 

 

Prerequisites:  BIOL 1004 or consent of instructor.

Text: Hole’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 10th edition, Shier, D., Butler, J., and Lewis, R.  McGraw-Hill, New York, NY 10020.

Evaluation and Grading
This class consists of both lectures and labs and there is extensive overlap between them.  students will be tested over knowledge learned from both.

You will have detailed outlines and study guides for each test.  Tests will consist of multiple choice, matching and written questions.  The final exam will have the last lecture test, with some cumulative questions.

§         Source of Grades:  Your grade will be determined by adding all of the points you earn on lecture and laboratory tests, there are no out-of-class assignments. All tests will count toward your final grade.  You can earn bonus points (4% of test value) any time a test score exceeds your average by 2%. 

§         Grading Scale A = 90-100%   B = 80-89%   C = 70-79%   D = 60-69%  F = below 60%

§         Weight of individual assignments: Tests are not weighted.  They are recorded as points earned, not as a percent of the total.

Learning Objectives/Course Outline

§         Institutional Learning Outcomes:

ASU-Beebe is committed to providing students with a broad-based educational experience and focuses, through general education coursework, on five essential learning outcomes: Communication, Critical Thinking, Mathematical Concepts and Application, Scientific Inquiry and Methodology, Society and Self.  The learning objectives of all courses are linked to these institutional learning outcomes to ensure that outcomes of individual courses are consistent with the university’s institutional goals.  These institutional essential learning outcomes can be viewed at  www.asub.edu.

Learning Objectives:  Upon completion of this course the successful student should be able to:

§          Learn the basic chemical concepts.

§         Learn the structures of cells and their function.

§         Describe Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nerve Tissues.

§         Learn muscle cell and nerve cell components and how they function.

§         Be able to name the human muscles and bones.

§         Learn the gross anatomy of the Central Nervous System and be able to name the components and their functions.

§         Be familiar with the Peripheral Nervous System and Reflex activity.

§         Be familiar with the Autonomic Nervous System (Sympathetic and Parasympathetic divisions and their functions.)

§         Learn the Special Senses and how they function.  (smell, taste, sight, hearing and feel as well as equilibrium)

§         Differentiate between Endocrine and Exocrine systems.

§         Be able to describe blood and its elements and functions.

§         Learn the anatomy of the heart and the functions of its components.

§         Learn the structures of the blood vessels in the Cardiovascular System, and how they function.

§         Learn the structure and functions of the Lymphatic System.

§         Learn the structure and function of the Respiratory System, including gaseous exchange.

§         Learn the structure and function of the Digestive System.

§         Understand Metabolism and Regulation of Body Temperatures.

§         Learn the components of the Urinary System and their functions.

§         Be familiar with Acid - Base balance

§         Understand the Reproductive System.

Attendance/Participation Policy:  Students are expected to attend all lectures and participate in all labs.  If you miss 2 weeks of worth of class, I can drop you with an F.  Please do not sleep in class, you will be marked absent that day.  If you miss a class it is your responsibility to obtain a copy of missed notes and handouts.  I recommend that you get to know other people in the class so you could copy notes if necessary.

  • The textbook should be brought to class.  Diagrams and pictures from the book are frequently referred to during the lecture and the laboratory.
  • I use Power point presentations throughout this class.  I can copy of these presentations onto your flash (jump) drive.  Animations can be viewed by right clicking on the file name, then open with Explorer.
  • Read and study all chapters and exercise indicated on the general outline. 
  • Take good notes in lecture and lab.  I recommend that you tape record the lectures.
  • Study daily, and review often.  College level courses generally require about 2 hours of study for every hour of class.
  • Do all lab assignments.  Make good use of free lab time - use aids such as models, etc., which are not available elsewhere. 
  • You must, using all the methods above, come to know and understand the subject matter of each unit.  You must be able to respond, IN WRITING, to any question relating to the subject matter.  All terms must be spelled correctly.

Make-up/ Late Work Policy:  Students are expected to notify me when circumstances prevent taking a scheduled test.  Ordinarily, only one lecture test may be made up.  Make up tests must be arranged with me as soon as you return to class.  Laboratory exams must be taken on the scheduled day.  If you make-up a laboratory test or more than 1 lecture test, 10% will be deducted from your grade for that test.  You can not make bonus points on make-up tests.

Web Site:  I post grades on my web site.  I also have copies of the syllabus and outlines.  You can find the web site by:

asub.edu; Academic Programs; Go to Math & Science course syllabi; Biology; Melissa Meador

ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY:  Cheating in any form - including but not limited to looking at a classmate’s test, unauthorized possession of exams, or using unauthorized materials during exams -may result in the student being dropped from the class with an "F" or being suspended from the University.  The University's standards for academic honesty are set forth in the Student Handbook.

Accommodation Statement:  It is the policy of ASU-Beebe to accommodate students with disabilities, pursuant to federal law and state law.  Any student with a disability who would like to request accommodations please contact the Counselor/Coordinator of Disability Services at 501-882-8263 at the ASU-Beebe campus.  Documentation review and accommodations for all ASU-Beebe system students with disabilities are authorized by the Counselor/Coordinator of Disability Services. 

Disclaimer:  This syllabus represents a “best” plan for the course, but, as with most plans, it is subject to changes made necessary by time, space, and personal constraints.  The course outline, as well as exam and assignment dates, may change as the course progresses.  Students should attend all class meetings to learn of any schedule changes.
