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.

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 study aids in the form of a CD 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 cheating during examinations. You can be
assured that I take this obligation very seriously. If cheating does
occur, the student will receive a zero on that examination and 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
(p. 57).

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 Blackboard and in lecture.
Article Summary or case study due dates
can be found on the class calendar.
-Lab
Evaluations
Four lab quizzes each worth 50 points
Quiz format:
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)
