Cedar Crest College BIO 218, Human Anatomy and Physiology II Laboratory Syllabus and Operational Procedures Spring 2009 Instructor: Mrs. Judith Malitsch Office: Miller 23; Office Hours – M 4-5, W 4-5, R 12-2, 4-5 and by appointment Telephone: 610-606-4666, Ext. 3605 Email: [email protected] I. Description: Human Anatomy & Physiology II 4 credits (lecture and lab) The laboratory component is a comprehensive complement and extension of lecture integrating the structure and function of the human body with a problem-based approach and clinical applications. Laboratory activities will involve a microscopic and macroscopic study of the following systems: Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic/ Immune, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive systems enhanced by a great deal of dissections including cats, fetal pigs, sheep and pig organs, observation of human organs, microscopy and clinical assessment. Although the laboratory focuses on anatomy, several exercises will investigate the physiology pertinent to a system including circulation, respiratory volume capacities, metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, and development. Prerequisites: BIO 217, Permission of Instructor II. Course Objectives: In a hands-on approach of experiences, students will develop a coherent understanding of the human body through the use of slides, models, specimens, experiments and audiovisual aids in order to:  Learn, understand and appreciate the anatomical and physiological design of the human body.  Learn, understand and appreciate the intimate relationship between structure and function.  Learn, understand and appreciate the interrelationships of the body systems.  Learn, understand and appreciate the concept of homeostasis III. Learning Outcomes/Assessment:  Students will demonstrate knowledge of anatomical and medical terminology and engage in direct application to professional health careers and their own health and wellness. Assessment: Lab practical exams and problem-solving assignments.  Students will demonstrate knowledge of the cellular importance of the anatomical and physiological design of the human body and its relationship to disease and disorder states. Assessment: Cytological and histological studies; lab practical exams.  Students will develop competencies in microscopy and dissections. Assessment: Laboratory practice, lab practical exams, dissection evaluation.  Students will develop critical thinking, analytical and scientific reasoning skills. Assessment: Problem-solving assignments, physiological experiments.  Students will demonstrate an understanding that function is determined by structure. Assessment: Dissections, exploration of models, cytological/histological studies, lab practical exams.  Students will demonstrate anatomical knowledge of endocrine glands, heart/blood vessels, fetal circulation pathways, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Assessment: Models, cat dissection evaluations, dissections (sheep heart, fetal pig, sheep pluck, pig kidney), human organs, cadaver photo study, lab practical exams.  Students will design and develop flowcharts of physiological pathways. Assessment: Class discussion, lab practical testsIV.

Required Texts: Marieb, Elaine N., 2007. Human Anatomy & Physiology, 7th Ed. Pearson Benjamin Cummings (Pearson Education Inc.) Marieb, Elaine N., Mitchell, Susan J. 2009. Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual. (Cat), 9th Ed. Update. Pearson Benjamin Cummings (Pearson Education Inc.) Leboffe, Michael J. 2003. A Photographic Atlas of Histology, Morton Publishing Co. Yokochi, C., Rohen, J.W., Weinreb, E.L., 1989. Photographic Anatomy of the Human Body, 3rd Ed. EGAKU-SHOIN Medical Publishers, Inc., NY. Optional: Medical Dictionary VI. Policies: Attendance: Laboratory attendance is MANDATORY. Notification from the Dean of Student’s Office is the only acceptable documentation for an absence. Undocumented lab absences on non-test days will result in a 10% current test grade reduction for each absence. Undocumented lab absences on test days will result in a zero for the test. A documented absence on a test day will result in an incomplete grade for the course providing you have completed 75% of the course with an overall minimum average of a C-. The test will then be completed in accordance with the policy as stated in the college catalog and at my discretionary time. We will discuss the consequences of any documented absences Tardiness may also be penalized at my discretion. If you arrive late for a test, you will forfeit that time for completion of the test Preparation for Class: Lab coats and closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Fingernail length must not interfere with lab skills. Bring your lab manual, supplemental guides, folder, notebook, highlighter and colored pencils (optional for drawings) to every lab. Prepare for each lab by reading through the exercise. Since the labs are very comprehensive and thorough in design, it is imperative that you are prepared to work. Use all available class time for laboratory work, written work, or both.While in Class: Take notes! Written Work: You are expected to completely answer all questions and label all diagrams in the lab exercise and study the laboratory review sheets (answer keys are provided for the review sheets). Problem-solving assignments will be as announced. Laboratory Work: You are expected to complete each exercise. You will be required to work on cat dissections on your own time to prepare the cats for dissection grading and to study for the lab tests. You are expected to contribute 100% as a team member. Non-cooperation will be penalized. In order to be successful in A&P lab, YOU MUST COME INTO THE LAB TO STUDY! Plan your time for study/dissection review in the lab during open lab times and on the weekends. When not in Class: Use the PAL (Practice Anatomy Lab) study tool linked to the www.mya&p.com
