Course Overview: A functional approach to gross and microscopic anatomy of major systems
of the human body through lecture and laboratory examination of models and dissections.
SLO # 1: Given the solute concentration of a solution, students will predict the movement of water by osmosis into or out of a cell.
SLO # 2: Given a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, students accurately measure blood pressure and heart rate and demonstrate understanding of normal and abnormal measurements.
SLO # 3: Given a body region, students will state the correct anatomical term for that body region.
SLO # 4: Given an organ system, students will identify the major organs and describe their functions.
SLO # 5: Given the name of a biological molecule, students will demonstrate understanding of the molecule’s importance to life functions.
Course Objectives: Upon satisfactory completion of the course, students will be able to:

Required Materials:
NOTE: The bookstore has bundled the text book, on-line access code, and laboratory manual together at one price. You should check the prices of buying these items individually before you buy from another source. The bundled package from the bookstore is probably your most economical choice. PLEASE BE AWARE I WON’T ACCEPT USED LAB BOOKS THAT ARE PRE-WRITTEN OR YOU CAN NOT WRITTE ON IT OR you need to SHARE WITH OTHER STUDENT.
Text: Hole’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 12th Edition by David Shier/Jackie Buttler/Ricki Lewis. McGraw Hill.
Laboratory Manual: Same name, edition and publisher.
Other Resources:
Course web sites: The course syllabus and power point notes which accompany lectures are posted on etudes AND OR ON Google Drive for this course.
Software: There are a number of websites available on internet that provide a virtual lab experience. You should also use the Physiology and Anatomy Revealed (APR) software which is available using your on-line access code. Some lab exam questions may be based on images from this software.
Skeletal Sets: A complete skeleton as well as disarticulated parts is available on reserve in the Hartnell Library.
TEST:
THIS IS FACE TO FACE CLASS. ALL MATERIAL PRESENTED, ANNOUNCED, OR THE STUDENTS IS EXPOSED TO IN CLASS, WILL BE YOUR STUDY GUIDE FOR YOUR TEST.
No study guide will be provided.
Lecture Test: May be matching, multiple choice or True/false format.
Lab Test: Lab quizzes will be assigned on the day of your lab session and are ONLY available during the lab session. Be sure you are present.
Homework: If any, Homework assignments will be available at the beginning of each week and may be completed any time during the week. There are no time limitations on how long you have to complete the assignment.
Exams: Lecture exams will be a mix of multiple choices, true-false and matching based on material covered in lecture. You will need an 882-E scantron to take the exams. If you cannot be present when the exam is given due to personal emergency, you must contact me ahead of time with your reason in order to be allowed to make up the exam. The best methods of notification are email. You will be asked to provide evidence of personal emergency. Make up lecture exams will be offered in a different format than those given during class. No make-up exams will be allowed more than 1 week beyond the original exam date. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have taken every exam or made arrangements for a make-up. I will not be checking for you and I will not contact you regarding missed exams.
NOTICE! No extra credit is offered in this course.
Return of Graded Papers: All exams taken in class periods will be reviewed with students during lab and the Scantrons returned. Please keep these for your records. Any papers not picked up within two weeks of their return date in class will be discarded. If you do not pick up your papers you will not be able to check whether I have recorded each of your grades and the correct score has been recorded. No change can be made to recorded grades except by written proof of the error. No graded paper to show me, NO proof!
Lab Exams: Lab exams may be multiple choice or True False format, largely involving
identification of structures studied during labs.
Lab Practical Exams are based on set up stations and students rotate from one station to the next station every two minutes. Because this is a timed test you must arrive on time. Due to extensive and multiple set up lab test are not possible to be make up. Any Lab test, weekly, midterm or final require identification of anatomical structures in diagrams that may come from any source available to me. No make-up lab will be allowed to be make up.

General Class Guidelines:
Attendance: You should plan on attending all lectures and labs for their full length. This is not a correspondence course, nor is it a spectator activity. Thus you should actively participate in lecture and lab by focusing on material at hand and asking questions about aspects you are not clear on. It is strongly suggested you form study groups with other students.
There will be strict adherence to the attendance policy. Please familiarize yourself with the Hartnell College Spring 2014 attendance policy. In particular section 3 of the policy states:
3. Any lack of attendance which leads an instructor to judge that unsatisfactory progress is being made may result in the student being dropped. Absence from a full semester class in excess of two weeks (consecutive or non-consecutive) may result in the instructor dropping the student. That is, a student may be dropped after missing one more class than twice the number of class meetings per week.
You may be dropped if you miss seven or more class meetings, (lecture or lab, any combination thereof). Failure to take a lecture or lab exam will count as missing a class meeting. However, there is no guarantee you will be dropped and if you intend to withdraw from the course in order to receive ‘W’ instead of a grade you must responsible for it. Under new state regulations you may only attempt a class three times. A ‘W’ grade is considered an attempt.
Tardiness: Tardiness is extremely disruptive to me and to your fellow students. The noise and disruption created by your late entrance breaks the students’ concentration, disrupts my chain of thought and often results in unnecessary repetition of class material. In addition, most announcements that are made that require your attention are made at the beginning of class. For these reasons any student that arrives more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted into the classroom and will be counted absent for that day. Excessive tardiness may result in your being dropped from the class.
Student Conduct: Any disruptive conduct in the classroom will not be tolerated. Please familiarize yourself with the Student Code of Conduct in the Hartnell College Catalog p31.
One of the most disruptive types of conduct is talking with other students during the lecture. It is my responsibility to ensure a proper learning environment is maintained in the class room. To help eliminate talking among students during lecture you will have an assigned seat for lecture. Seat assignments will be announced when the add/drop period for classes closes. All of the seats in the class are numbered. You must be in your assigned seat to be counted as attending class. If, even with assigned seating you talk to those around you, your seat assignment will be changed. Disruptive conduct of any kind may result in your being dropped from class.
Cell Phones: You are prohibited from having your cell phones out in lecture or lab. If you are observed using a cell phone in class you will be asked to leave the class and will be counted absent for that lecture and if you have test that day your grade will 0.
Academic Honesty: Do not cheat, or even think of it! You will receive no credit if caught and per college policy there may be other consequences (see Policies on Cheating in the Hartnell Catalog). Perhaps worst of all cheating is embarrassing and gets you nowhere. Things to avoid during exams are to talk with other students, your books, notes, cell phones (turn them off and put them away) and discouraging thoughts.
Final Note: Many times students taking this class will say to me “I must have an A in this class.” YOU are responsible for ensuring that you are successful in this class. My advice to you is that if you want an A in this class then do what it takes to make one!
Suggestions to ensure your success:
1. Buy the required materials for this class. The textbook and lab manual for this class are new and were chosen for ease of reading and useful features like STUDY TIP BOXES that appear throughout the text and lab manual. The text is also annotated with APR to show where each topic can be found in the virtual dissection software that is available using the access code that comes with the text.
