An applied systematic study of the structure and function of the human body designed for students considering a career in the health field. Includes anatomical terminology, cells, tissues, and the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine. Emphasis on homeostasis. This course is cross-listed as SCIT 1307. The student may register for either SCIT 1407 or SCIT 1307, but may receive credit for only one of the two. This course is intended for students seeking to complete an Applied Science Degree. (3 Lec., 3 Lab.) Prerequisite One of the following must be met: (1) Developmental Reading 0093 AND Developmental Writing 0093; (2) English as a Second Language (ESOL) 0044 AND 0054; or (3) Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Reading and Writing standards AND DCCCD Writing score prerequisite requirement. Disclaimer The instructor reserves the right to modify class dates, presentation, testing and assignment dates if unforeseen circumstances cause such an adjustment. Students will receive verbal notification in class of these changes. Textbooks Required: Principles of Anatomy and Physiology(With Wiley Plus)Binder Ready, 13th edition, Tortora, G.

Upon the completion of this course, students should be able to identify the location of different skeletal muscles on the human body using laboratory models. 2. Students should be able to illustrate the skeletal muscle contraction process upon the completion of this course. 3. Students should be able to distinguish the process of a graded potential and an action potential.Academic Honesty Scholastic dishonesty is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. As a college student, you are considered a responsible adult. Your enrollment indicates acceptance of the DCCCD Code of Student Conduct published in the DCCCD Catalog at http://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0506/ss/code.cfm Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on tests, plagiarism and collusion. Cheating includes copying from another student’s test or homework paper, using materials not authorized, collaborating with or seeking aid from another student during a test, knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, or soliciting the contents of an unadministered test, and substituting for another person to take a test. Plagiarism is the appropriating, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means another’s work and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one’s own written work. Collusion is the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work for fulfillment of course requirements. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense in college. You can be given a failing grade on an assignment or test, can be failed for the class, or you can even be suspended from college.

If a laboratory practical is missed, you will receive a grade of ZERO for the exam. There will be no make-up lab exams. Attendance and Participation Students are required to attend all classes. It will be impossible to complete this course in a satisfactory manner if you have excessive absences and/or tardies. There are no make-up classes for laboratory exercises that are missed. You cannot attend another lab with another instructor to make up the work. Classroom conduct 1. Cheating on an exam will result in a grade of ZERO on that exam and a failing grade for the semester; 2. Cellular phones and beepers are to be turned off before the class starts; 3.
