Human Anatomy, 5th Edition, The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc., Menlo Park, California, 2008.Course Description:Introduction to gross human anatomy. Examination of skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory and excretory systems. Directed to applications in health and physical education. Demonstrations with pre-dissected specimens.Course Objectives:1. Students in the course will identify and utilize appropriate anatomical terminology necessary for further study in the fields of health and physical education.2. Students in the course will identify and categorize the cells, connective tissues and ground substances that make up the tissues of the body.3. Students will understand how the skeletal and muscular systems form joints and contribute to support and movement.4. Students will understand how the cardiovascular, respiratory and lymphatic systems function as a transport system for the body. 5. Students will understand the nervous system (central peripheral and autonomic), andhow sensory receptors contribute to voluntary movement, systemic coordination, andregulatory control within the human body. 6. Students will understand the structure of the digestive, urinary, and immune systems and how these systems function to distribute materials supporting the maintenance of homeostasis.Course Pattern:Organization:This course will consist of approximately 60 hours of class sessions and 12 hours of laboratory experiences. The expectation of the instructor is that students will need to spend time outside of class studying this material in order to complete the class successfully.Focus:This course provides an introduction to the gross anatomy of the extremities and trunk necessary for the further study of the disciplines of athletic training, exercise science, health, physical education and recreation/outdoor education. Lectures concentrate on the regional anatomy of the limbs and trunk and upon systemic anatomy related to a basic understandingof the adaptation of the body to exercise. Practical applications are presented relative to athletic injury, physical conditioning, human locomotion, growth and development, and disease. Concepts are reinforced utilizing clinical review and cadaver pro-section labs.Class participation:Students are encouraged to participate in all discussions and ask questions as the need arises.Readings:It is important that you keep up with the readings assigned in the text. Class lectures are built on the assumption that you will have read the material. In some instances the material within the text will not be directly covered in class lectures. Therefore, it is important for you to stay current in your readings.Evaluation:The instructor believes that multiple measures of performance are the most reliable means for establishing a students’ performance within any given class. Therefore, the following evaluation techniques will be employed:Lab Assignments:Lab assignments are given weekly with exceptions occurring when lab examinations occur. These lab assignments are typically based on a brief video presentation, a summation by theinstructor and then a “homework” assignment to be completed and submitted by the student.Assignments are given on Thursdays and are due the following Monday.Laboratory Examinations:Two laboratory examinations will be conducted during the course of the session. These examinations will assess the students’ knowledge of the skeletal system and the working musculature.Chapter Quizzes:Chapter quizzes will be delivered in an on-line format. At the completion of the chapter in lecture the instructor will notify students of the when the quizzes are available for completion.On-line quizzes are timed (30 minutes for 15 questions). The quizzes emphasize key terminology, facts, and concepts that will be assessed in greater depth in the unit exams.Examinations:Four major examinations of course content will be conducted during the session. Examinations will not be cumulative. These will be distributed across the course of the semester. The date of the final examination (Exam 4) will be on Monday, May 11th, 2009.Grading:A cumulative point total will be used to establish a final letter grade for the course. The weighting of each assessment and an approximate grade scale appears on the following page.Student AssessmentsLab Assignments (10@ 15 points each) 150Chapter quizzes (20 @ 15 points each) 300Examination Number One 150Laboratory Examination Number One 75Examination Number Two 150Laboratory Examination Number Two 80Examination Number Three 150Final Examination 150Cumulative Point Total 1255Approximate Grade Scale1255 - 1130 total points = A1129 - 1004 total points = B1003 - 879 total points = C 878 - 753 total points = DEthical Responsibilities for Cadaver Lab:All specimens to be studied are obtained from the bodies of individuals who have donated their bodies to science before death. Please consider it a distinct privilege to beable to study the anatomy of these specimens. The instructor respectfully requests that each student treat the specimens with care and dignity.Never take cadaver material or embryological specimens out of the dissecting laboratory.Disregard for this rule is a serious offense and may constitute a justifiable basis for dismissal.Never take photographs of the cadavers or other anatomical specimens. Cameras as well as cell phones are not allowed in the laboratory.Never take food or drink into the cadaver lab. Eating or drinking IS
