Scope
and Purpose:
This course is designed primarily for students majoring in health related or
other fields requiring a basic understanding of human anatomy and
physiology. The course is the second in a two-semester sequence and has
BSC 181 - Human Physiology and Anatomy I (or a comparable course) as a
prerequisite. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of cell
structure, membrane transport, fundamental chemistry, neurophysiology and
hormone action as presented in BSC 181 or in another course. If you do
not, a review of the appropriate topics in your textbook is recommended – this
is up to you.
The
course will deal with those human organ systems not discussed in BSC 181, that
is, systems other than the skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems,
which could broadly be considered as supportive (skeletal and muscular)
and integrative in function (nervous and endocrine). We will
consider organ systems that basically function in maintenance and are homeostatic
in function. For example, consistent with its basic maintenance
and homeostatic function, the circulatory system provides oxygen and cells of
the immune system to body tissues. The circulatory system therefore has
(at least) respiratory, and immune system functions. Our discussion of each of
the various body systems individually should not obscure the physiological
interactions existing between the various organ systems. In general,
physiological rather than the anatomical aspects of the various organ systems
will be emphasized.
Textbook: Elain Marieb’s Human Anatomy and Physiology 9th. Ed., 2013 (required).
Lab
Manual:
Available at Phi Sigma bookstore (required)
Reading:
You are strongly urged to complete the suggested reading prior to introduction
of the topic in lecture. Given the amount of information provided in your
textbook, some topics simply cannot be discussed in detail during
lecture. The objective of the lecture not to provide an alternative to
reading the book, but to help you understand the materials that you are
required to know. With that stated; it will be necessary for you to
study portions of the text and associated materials on your own.
During your individual study, you should strive to become familiar with the
general anatomical and (more importantly) the physiological aspects of each
topic. When appropriate, I will identify specific illustrations, tables,
and sections deserving more thorough study along with those that can be ignored
or given less emphasis.
Assignments: In order
to encourage and introduce an Active Study habit, you will be creating quiz
questions based on the lecture material. There
will be an assignment associated with each exam. Your
responsibility is to create ten (10) high quality exam questions.
More information regarding format and expectations can be found at the class
website. Through the course of the semester, you will be completing six assignments
worth 10 points each.
Exams: Six examinations worth 100 points each will be
given. Your lowest exam score will automatically be dropped from exam
1-5. It is for this reason that no make-up exams will be given. Exams
are NOT cumulative. Exams will be based on material
presented in lecture and in your textbook. Students are encouraged to meet
with me to clarify course material or to discuss their class performance.
Course grades will be based solely on exam performance and assignments.
At this time other forms of earning credit (term papers etc.) will not likely
be considered, however, I reserve the option of adding extra credit should I
feel it necessary.

SOME
ADDITIONAL COURSE INFORMATION AND ADVICE CONCERNING ATTENDANCE AND STUDY HABITS
Class
attendance. The single most important factor in determining your success
in this course is regular class attendance. One consequence of missing
class is that handouts or other information presented for discussion in lecture
may not be available in a timely fashion. As a result, the non-attending
student is at a disadvantage relative to attending student simply because he or
she lacks important written information. More importantly, the non-attending
student misses the instructor's particular explanations, interpretations and
unique emphases on the topics discussed. The lecture notes that a
non-attending student would probably have to copy from an attending student may
be little more than a collection of conceptually unconnected phrases or
diagrams. Additionally, attending students hear and understand the
discussion of concepts that simply do not appear in their notes. If you
have ever had to use “second hand" notes in other courses you already know
what I'm talking about -as there is no substitution for notes you take yourself
in class. As such, I will encourage your active participation by
periodically be taking attendance.
Reading
- The most effective reading that can be done in this course is reading that is
completed prior to attending the lecture. This reading will make
the lecture much easier to follow and give you a leg up in mastering a
considerable set of new terms, which can be a major hurdle for many students in
a beginning science course. Re-reading after the lecture should be
done to allow you to reflect upon and reinforce specific information presented
in the lecture and to let you appropriately edit your notes.
Note-Taking
Study & Review. Good lecture notes must contain more than just a
written summary of information presented by the instructor; they must also
contain orally communicated explanations or interpretations. While an
explanation or summarizing statement may have been perfectly clear to you at
the time it was given in lecture, it is not likely to be so a few days later,
particularly if it is not recorded in your notes. I
will provide templates for the lecture on the website. The address for my
website is provided at the top of this syllabus. NOTE: These are not all inclusive notes and
you will be expected to attend lecture and expand on what I have
provided.
Good
lecture notes are useless unless they are thoroughly studied and are nearly
useless if they are only studied shortly before the exam. Studying
"to learn and understand" rather than "studying for the
exam" is the mark of a successful student. Here are some
suggestions:
(i) Study
daily. Even as little as less than an hour's study of the lecture
material presented that same day is far more effective than many times that
effort expended just before the exam. Daily study utilizes your
short-term memory of the lecture to reflect upon and reinforce concepts.
Daily study also will allow you to edit and add to your notes intelligently
while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Once your short-term
memory begins to fade with time (over hours and days) you will become
increasingly unable to discern the meaning of some item in your notes. It
is crucial that you make additional cross-references between that item and
others in your notes or gleaned from your reading. Edit your notes with
this kind of additional explanatory material as soon after the lecture as
possible (on the same day is best).
(ii) Practice
"active" study. Reading and re-reading, and highlighting your
notes umpteen times is a passive, and not an effective form of study. To
the extent possible, you should attempt to actively quiz yourself or have
another student (or me) quiz you. Formal or informal study groups with up
to about five students can be effective if (and only if) they meet at least
once a week. As you study, try to reformulate the statements in your
notes as questions. This more active "quiz" type approach has
an additional benefit in that it allows you to immediately find that material
that you thoroughly command and concentrate upon the stuff that you do not,
thus saving time and effort.
(iii) Don't
confuse study with review. The regular, thorough and preferably
active endeavor described above is study. In contrast, review is a
relatively low-level "brushing-up" activity that refreshes the
long-term memory's command of the material previously acquired by active
study. Achieving the "regular attendance"/"frequent study
- no cram" study lifestyle is not easy. However, once it is
established and becomes a habit, it will serve you well, in this course and all
future courses you attend.
Electronic Study Aids –
Today most textbooks come with additional digital content or access to a
website. Electronic aids, such as the website associated with your book,
are very beneficial and tend to hold one’s attention. I encourage you to
utilize these materials via your personal computer if you have one.
Lecture
Exam Format - Lecture examinations during the semester will require the
labeling of diagrams, defining terms and include simple "fill in the
blank" questions using a multiple choice format. As such, you will
need to pay close attention to detail when reading your questions and filling
in your answers. Any student needing to arrange a reasonable
accommodation for a documented disability should contact Disability Concerns at
350 Fell Hall, 438-5853(voice), 438-8620 (TDD).
Academic
Dishonesty. As your instructor I have the
professional obligation to ensure that every reasonable effort is made by me to
prevent academic dishonesty during the course of the class. This includes exams, assignments, assessment,
lecture quizzes, article summaries, etc.
You can be assured that I take this obligation very seriously. If
cheating does occur, the incident will be reported to the Chairman of the
Department of Biological Sciences and to the Student Judicial Office /
SCERB. I assume that you understand your responsibilities concerning
academic honesty and the consequences of not meeting those
responsibilities. Since it is important that you understand those
responsibilities and the University's policies on academic dishonesty, I urge
you to read the section on Academic Integrity in the Undergraduate Catalog.
Plagiarism: Article summaries that have been plagiarized
will earn no credit. You are not
eligible for the academic dishonesty sanction for your first episode of
plagiarism.
Sanctions for Academic Dishonesty (first
offense)
· Grade of 0 (zero) points on the assignment/exam/quiz in question
· A 10 percent (10%) reduction of the final grade, taken after lecture and lab scores have been tallied.
· Students pursuing a teaching certificate will have a Disposition Concerns document submitted

LABORATORY
INFORMATION
______________________________________________________________
Scope and purpose: The greater emphasis in the lab will be
human anatomy (structure), with some information on physiology (function). The
lab will include the use of materials such as models, videos, histology slides,
textbook photographs, and diagrams.
There is also hands-on dissection of hearts and a fetal pig to learn
basic mammalian anatomy; therefore, it
is highly recommended that you wear
suitable clothing.
Lab grade: The lab grade will contribute to about 25% of the overall class grade. The total lab grade is 300 pts distributed as explained below:
-Participation: You
will receive participation points for each lab that you attend and
complete.
-Article
summaries and Case Studies: You will be submitting
several article summaries throughout the semester. These summaries are to
cover anything related to anatomy and physiology that you can find in local or
national news or publications. These
are NOT to be journal articles or research articles. They should
be a summary of the type of news story that can be found in the Pantagraph or
CNN.com or FoxNews, or any similar source.
Case studies are being developed and may be assigned throughout the semester. Due dates will be announced through ReggieNet and in lecture.
Article Summary or case study due dates can be found on the class
calendar.

They are practical in nature, and may include dissections, histology slides, models,
diagrams, etc. You will be asked to identify body structures and/or answer
questions regarding the physiology of the structures. Questions/diagrams will also come from the lab
manual.
The laboratory manual (required)
Lab manual is available
from Phi Sigma Honorary Biological Society for $20.00 (Room 101A FHS). The Phi
Sigma Bookstore is open weekdays 8:00 am to 3:30 pm for the first two weeks of
the semester
Laboratory Policies for
1. Each laboratory session will begin with a 5-10 minute study/review session on the previous week's laboratory material (this will be determined by your lab instructor as needed). You may ask the lab instructor to clarify information from the previous lab as well as review specimens according to availability etc.
2. The laboratory will then proceed to the topic of the current week's lab. The instructors will introduce the topic and provide guidance for your work. Please read this material in the lab manual and textbook prior to the class period. It is important to diligently study this new material because you will be tested over it on the lab exam and this is the opportunity to discuss the material in depth with your instructor.
3. No make-ups for the lab exam will be given without suitable evidence for the missed laboratory provided to your Teaching Assistant. In case of family emergencies such as death or illness, official documents are required.
4. Perfect attendance will be rewarded. To obtain these points you must remain in the laboratory until permitted to leave by the instructor.
5. The total points in the laboratory section are 300 points as mentioned above. Changes may be made throughout the semester with regard to total points, but your lab score will be determined eventually as a percentage. This percentage will be 25% of your lecture grade.
6. There will be some limited opportunities for extra credit in the laboratory if needed. Specific instructions about this will be provided later in the semester.
7. You may attend ONLY that section for which you have registered. You will not be permitted to go to another lab section without specific permission from the lab instructors.
8. Late policy for lab practicals: Class policy is that once a lab quiz is turned in, no other lab quizzes will be given out. If you are late to a lab quiz, you run the risk of not being able to take that quiz. (See #3 above regarding make-ups)
