REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Anatomy and Physiology, 7th Edition, by Seeley, Rod R., Stephens Trent D. and Tate Philip,
McGraw-Hill,
Inc.,
Course
Description:
Part I
The structural and functional characteristics of the eleven human organ systems are covered. Basic concepts of the human body are presented to non-science majors. Principal topics covered include levels of organization, support, movement, and integration. This course does not count as a biology elective for biology major or minor requirements. Prerequisite: BIO 140 with a grade of “C” or better or permission of the instructor.
This is a
continuation of Human Anatomy &
Physiology
Introduction:
In
order to understand the subject matter clearly, students should read the
assigned chapters from the textbook for each unit before and after the
classroom lecture period. In addition, the student should make written notes of
lectures including from the readings of textbook, supplementary books and scientific
journals. The student should learn the new terminology with definitions.
Finally, the student should periodically review the lecture notes and textbook
assignments.
General Objectives:
Upon completion of the
course the individual should achieve the
following objectives:
1. Understand
the language of anatomy &
physiology through the analysis of terms relevant to the study of the structure
and function of the human body.
2. Describe and discuss the eleven human organ systems – anatomically and physiologically.
3. Relate and apply this knowledge to problems common to the fields of social work, health, therapeutic recreation, and physical education.
Textbook Discussion Topics:
Part I
(BIO 233)
1. The Human Organism.
2. The Chemical Basis of Life.
3. Structure & Function of the Cell.

26. Urinary System.
27. Water, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Balance.
28. Reproductive System.
Activities:
1. Students are required to answer the
content review questions that appear at the end of each
chapter.
2. Students are required to review the
supplementary audio-visual materials and or review relevant
technical
articles and write report related to each topic as assigned by the instructor.
Evaluation Procedures:
An examination covering the lecture and assignment work will be given upon completion of each unit/chapter. The unit/chapter examination will cover the subject matter discussed after the previous unit/chapters examination. In other words, no unit/chapter examination will include all the lecture and assignment material discussed during the entire semester except for the final. The final examination will cover all the lecture and assignment material taught during the entire semester.
All answers of examinations and assignment reports should be written in Standard English. Evaluation of all written work will be based on the correct use of grammar and the accuracy of technical information
GRADING
SYSTEM:
90% or above = A
80 to 89.9% = B
70 to 79.9% = C
60 to 69.9% = D
59.9% or below = F
The college's SE2 grading policy will be used in the grading system in this course.
Students are expected to complete the assigned work within the time framework established by the instructor.
There will be no extra credit given to any student during the course.
Student Requirements:
1.
ATTENDANCE: Students are required to attend class
regularly, punctually, and not to leave class early. Any student leaving
class early will be marked absent. Absences must be excused by the Dean of
students from the Division of Student Affairs located in the Administration
Building-, Room 102. Official Excuses
must be Presented to the instructor within one week after the
student returns to class. Excuses submitted after the one-week time frame
may no longer be considered valid. Obtaining an official excuse does not
excuse a student from the assignments missed during the absence. As attendance
is part of the effort grade, TWO (2)
points will be deducted each time a student misses lecture class
from the sixth absence onward (Final
Grading).
Students
are expected to come and settle down in the lecture class within the first five minutes of class starting
time. Students coming in within the next
ten minutes will be considered tardy. Two (2) tardiness will be considered as one (1) absent. Students will not be allowed to enter
lecture class who are more than fifteen minutes late.
2. EXAMINATION POLICY: Examinations will be
given only on the days they are scheduled. Make-up examinations will only be
given to students with an official excuse. Students caught cheating or
helping others will earn a ZERO on the test/exam.
3. ASSIGNMENTS: All students are required to complete the assignments within the time frame set by the instructor. The instructor is under no obligation to accept late assignments. Sharing of information with others on any assignment will lead to sharing of grades.
4. BONUS POINTS: Students are encouraged to use technology. Students can earn ten (10) bonus points towards their effort grade for completing assigned work through http://benedict.blackboard.com
General Instructions / Guidelines for
Students:
1. Bring your textbook to your lecture class.
2. Take exams / tests on the scheduled date.
3. Students are required to come to class / lab on time. Remember, attendance and class participation, are part of your final grades. Students must provide official college excuses to the instructor.
4. Students are expected to sign the attendance roll when they come to
class .
5. Please keep all questions not related to the topic being discussed (i.e., excuses, late work, or other issues) until the end of the class.
6. Do not wear head phones or other such devices in class and keep cell
phones turned off.
7. Class disruptions in any form will not be tolerated. Disruptive students will be asked to leave the class.

Each
student is assigned a numerical grade for effort and a numerical grade for
knowledge by inputting grades into the excel grade book. The excel electronic
grade book will calculate the student’s letter grade for effort, knowledge, and
the final grade.
