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.

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 The purpose of the Student Code of Conduct is to provide guidelines for the educational environment of the Dallas County Community College System. Such an environment presupposes both rights and responsibilities. Disciplinary regulations at the college are set forth in writing in order to give students general notice of prohibited conduct. Students should be aware of disciplinary actions for all forms of academic dishonesty, including cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and collusion. The Eastfield College Catalog and the DCCC Catalog contain the entire Student Code of Conduct, which is also on the internet at http://dcccd.edu.
