Text: Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology, 5th edition
By: Sylvia S. Mader
Anatomy and Physiology is an academically rigorous course designed to give students knowledge of the human body and provide a strong understanding of the structures and functions of the systems of the human body. This hands-on course builds on the idea that science knowledge is acquired through inquiry and process. Students will be asked to apply and further develop the process skills that they learn in biology. Through observation, organization of data, classification, predicting, experimenting, and communication of information, the students will analyze the relationships between the anatomical structures and physiological functions of all body systems and evaluate the cause and effect of disease, trauma, and congenital defects on those structures and functions.
Course Outline and Objectives:
Organization of the Human Body
Objectives: To define and describe the levels of organization within the human body and to begin to use medical and anatomical terms to describe the body and its relative positions and structures.
To discover and describe homeostatic regulation in the human body and predict the consequences of the failure to maintain homeostasis.
· Introduction to the Human Body (Planes and Positional Terms) – Chapter 1
Major Assignments: Lab report on Homeostasis (portfolio piece)
Cytology
Objectives: To describe the characteristics and identify the monomers of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids and define their role in biochemical processes. To analyze and explain the chemical reactions that provide energy for the body. To investigate and describe the integration of the chemical and physical properties which contribute to homeostasis in cells. To compare the structures and functions of organelles within cells of the body. To describe the processes involved in the cell cycle.
· Biochemistry – Chapter 2
· Cytology – Chapter 3
Major Assignments: Exam on chapters 1, 2, and 3.
Histology
Objectives: To analyze the relationships between the structures and functions of tissues. Evaluate the cause and effect of disease and trauma on the structure and function of tissues. Research the embryological development of tissues.
· Histology (Tissue Structure and Function) – Chapter 4
Major Assignments: Lab and 2 Part Exam (Lab and Objective)
Major Course Assessment for Quarter 1 (25% of Q1 grade)
Integumentary
Objectives: To analyze the structural and functional relationships of the tissues within the integument. Identify characteristics of the aging process on the integumentary system. Investigate the role of radiation in cancer and mutations. Analyze the effects of force on the skin.
· Integumentary System – Chapter 5
Movement
Objectives: To analyze the relationships between the structures and functions of the skeletal and muscular systems. Identify the characteristics of aging on the skeletal and muscular systems. Evaluate the cause and effect of disease and trauma on the function of the skeletal and muscular systems. Analyze the effects of various forces on the human body. To explain how coordination of muscles, bones and joints allows movement of the body.
· Skeletal System – Chapter 6
· Muscular System – Chapter 7
Major Assignments: Research Project and Oral Presentation (portfolio piece)
Major Course Assessment for Quarter 2 (25% of Q2 grade)
Control
Objectives: To analyze the relationships between structure and function of the control systems. Evaluate the effects of trauma, disease, and aging on the control systems. To illustrate the conduction systems such as nerve transmission or muscle stimulation. Describe the role of sensory organs and the nervous system in the control of structures in human system. Identify the feedback relationships within the endocrine system.
· Nervous – Chapter 8
· Sensory – Chapter 9
· Endocrine – Chapter 10
Major Assignments: Labs (mini) and Exams
Transport
Objectives: To compare the interactions among transport systems. To identify and describe the factors that alters the normal functions of transport systems. Identify how energy is processed and stored by the digestive system. Analyze the physical, chemical, and biological properties of transport systems. Analyze the effects of energy deficiencies in malabsorption disorders. Evaluate the cause and effect of aging, disease and trauma on the transport systems. To identify the role of transport systems in the carrying of materials and the process of waste disposal.
· Blood – Chapter 11
Major Course Assessment for Quarter 3 (25% of Q3 grade)
· Cardiovascular – Chapter 12
· Lymphatic – Chapter 13
· Respiratory – Chapter 14
· Digestive – Chapter 15
· Excretory – Chapter 16
Major Assignments: 1 Major Lab (portfolio piece), Labs (mini), and Exams
Major Course Assessment for Quarter 4 (25% of Q4 grade)
Grading and Other Important Information:
Major Course Assessment: 25%
Tests, Projects, and Labs: 25%
Quizzes: 25%* MAS assigned for any grade earned under 70% and remediation required until a 70% is earned.
Homework and Classwork: 25%
FOR EACH ASSESSMENT (QUIZZES OR TESTS) A SMALL BIN WILL BE PLACED IN THE CENTER OF EACH LAB BENCH. STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO PLACE THEIR CELL PHONES IN THE BIN DURING THE ASSESSMENT. THE PHONES WILL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY, AND UPON COMPLETION OF THE ASSESSMENT STUDENTS MAY TAKE THEIR PHONES BACK FROM THE BIN. THE REASONS FOR THIS CLASS ROOM POLICY ARE: 1) TO REDUCE DISTRACTION DURING ASSESSMENT TAKING DUE TO TEXTING AND VIBRATING OR RINGING PHONES, AND 2) TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CHEATING ON TESTS USING ELECTRICAL DEVICES.
AFTER EACH CLASS, I WILL BE POSTING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS AND THE NOTES FROM THE DAY. IF YOU ARE ABSENT FROM CLASS, PLEASE CHECK THE CLASS WEBSITE FOR THIS WORK TO ENSURE YOU KEEP UP WITH THE CONTENT IN THE CLASS. IF THE WORK IS NOT POSTED FOR SOME REASON, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME TO ASK FOR WHAT YOU MISSED.
How to Contact me:
· I am available for extra help and make-up work Monday through Friday in Room E03. Most of my meetings are scheduled for Thursdays. This is usually the only day I may not be able to stay, but things do come up so I will make sure to inform the students of any exceptions week by week. Late busses are only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
