Course Description:

Examines the anatomy of human organs and organ systems from a structural

perspective that focuses on an understanding of the design of the human body.

In laboratory, students learn to distinguish tissue types through histological

specimens, and study the three-dimensional relationship of body structures

through required non-human mammalian dissection. Demonstrations on

human cadavers will afford students a working knowledge of the gross anatomy

of the human body. Applies to Associate Degree. Transfer credit: CSU; UC

THIS IS A WEB-ENHANCED CLASS!

Your class documents will be available online and you are responsible for downloading and printing them!

If you absolutely cannot fulfill this requirement, please notify me during the first class.

NOTE* The use of cadavers in the lab is a privilege, not a right. There are very strict rules which have been imposed on the use of the anatomy lab. These rules are strictly enforced to ensure the privilege of the college to continue to use the cadavers at the behest of UCI. NO OPEN TOED SHOES ALLOWED IN LAB! NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES OF ANY KIND ALLOWED IN LAB!

If you attempt to enter the lab with open toes shoes, you will be denied. If you are caught using an electronic device in lab, you will be excused with loss of any lab points for that lab! You will sign a contract before using the anatomy lab.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

  • Human Anatomy 7th ed., Marieb (package in bookstore) You will need the package because it has the Atlas and CD
  • Anatomy 1 Laboratory Manual Third Edition by Dr. Erric Shargo, PhD
  • 24” skeleton called "Big Tim" may be purchased on eBay or Amazon etc. for around $40
  • 1” notebook for assignments and quizzes
  • COLORED PENCILS
  • DRAWING TABLET, glue, pipe cleaners, Play-Doh (various colors)
  • At least 100 pair latex Gloves for working on cats and cadaversper student!
  • Apron or scrub top to protect clothes during dissections *optional
  • Single edged razor blades (*see above)
  • Scissors, pen light

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  1. Use appropriate anatomical terminology to describe systems, parts, and positions.
  2. Relate the structure of the human body to the functioning of the system and classify system parts structurally.
  3. Describe how body systems maintain homeostasis in the organism and predict how the system responds to an imbalance to restore homeostasis.
  4. Describe membrane structure and function.
  5. Describe cell structure.
  6. Identify the tissues that comprise the organs of the human body.
  7. Describe the major organ systems at the cellular, tissue and organ level.
  8. Identify the structural parts of each organ system and relate structure to the functioning of the system.
  9. Describe how human systems change over the lifespan of the individual.
  10. Describe the development of each system. (general embryology)
  11. Describe the relationship between the organ systems and their integration to form a coordinated, functional whole organism.
  12. Examine histological preparations and identify tissue types.
  13. Demonstrate appropriate dissection techniques and identify anatomical structures in a dissected specimen.

LECTURE AND LABORATORY EXPERIENCE

This class will be organized differently than perhaps you’ve experienced before. It is called a reversed classroom. Instead of me standing up in front of you lecturing, your lectures will be online. You will come to class and take a quiz as gift for watching your lesson prior to class. During class, after the quiz, we will entertain questions and clarifications so that I can give all of you the personal attention that you need to do well in this class.

In addition, we will be utilizing techniques called Collaborative Groups and Outstanding Achievement Assessments. (CG and OAA) How these work is the following: I will place all of you into groups of 4 for lecture and lab. Your group will have assignments. Upon successful completion of assignments, you will receive up to 10 points per UNIT that will be added to your exam score up to 100. Extra points will be kept in case you need them to substitute for a missed lab exam. OAA points will be given by me for something that you do either by yourself for yourself, or with someone else for the class that has a high value and shows superior understanding of the topic covered. I will award up to 10 of these points per UNIT. Your exam grade may not exceed 100. (lecture and lab combined) Extra points will be accumulated in case they are needed to make up a lab exam.

Lecture and labs will utilize many teaching techniques including, lecture, powerpoint demonstrations, handouts, drawings, videos, modeling, debating, case history discussions to convey complex course material in a clear and manageable format, experimenting, discussion and hopefully, guest lecturers.

LABS: Labs will be from Anatomy 1 Laboratory Manual by Dr. Eric Shargo, cat dissection, skeletons, models, human cadaver examination and identification and various other projects to demonstrate anatomy. I will acquaint you with the material being covered in the lab and we will begin all labs as a class. You will be required to complete the lab assignment with all written results. I encourage all students to help one another to learn the material.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to empower you to take charge of what you know. There is basic knowledge which will enable you to “think out” the details. It is my desire to reacquaint you with your “thinking center”. Only by using your thinking capacity will you eventually succeed in life. All of my lessons and exams require you to think about the knowledge obtained and from there, figure out the answer by “thinking”. I may use unconventional techniques on occasion to demonstrate that you actually know more than you are aware of. Confidence and accomplishment are vital to becoming a superior healthcare practitioner and I will work as hard as you will to provide an experience which will provide an atmosphere in which those objectives can be realized.

NOTE: This course is a very challenging class which requires personal virtues which perhaps have not been used before. You will be asked to behave in a professional manner during the class time. The material to be learned is vast and many out of class hours will be required to successfully pass this class. (approximately 2 hours per hour of lecture) Please note that the abilities which are required are the same abilities which you will need when you begin your career as a healthcare practitioner. Use this time to learn how to act to become one of the best. The personal attributes that will be required are: attendance, punctuality, doing your own work, completing tasks on-time, respecting others, working with others, staying in contact with me when going through challenges and being responsible for learning well. I make it my business to keep track of how each student is doing and what, if any, their challenges are.

CHEATING – Please make yourself aware of the College’s policy on cheating in your student handbook and the consequences of such activities. If you cheat on an exam in my class, you will receive a zero on that exam. A second occurrence will result in your dismissal from my class with an F.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF COURSE:

GRADING SCALE: Grades will be issued for this course as A,B,C,D,and F. Students with a D or F following the mid-term exam will receive a written notification. This class is NOT graded on a curve and there is NO extra credit! Do your best on the everyday activities and you will do well.

The scale is:

A = 90 - 100%

B = 80 - 89%

C = 70 – 79%

D = 60 – 69%

F = 0 – 59%

METHOD OF EVALUATION: (may be adjusted!) TOTALS

6 / Lecture Exams / 50 points each / 300
6 / Lab Exams / 50 points each / 300
26 / Lecture Quizzes(drop 1) / 10 points each / 250
850

A = 765 - 850 points exactly!

B = 680 - 764points exactly!

C = 595 - 679points exactly!

D = 480 - 559points exactly!

F = <479points exactly!

Keep track of your own grades! You are required to save all of your quizzes and exams to verify your grades. If you want to know where you sit in the class at any time, just subtract your total points from the total available at the time you check.

I do not grade on a curve. Extra pointswill be available on each exam in the form of Group Participation points and Outstanding Performance Achievement Points! Please don’t ask me during the last two weeks what you can do to raise your grade! You are expected to do your best throughout the entire semester.

EXAMS

Lecture exams will be a combination of fill-in, M/C, short answer and essay.

Lab exams will be a combination of identification, short answer and drawings.

Attendance is not required. However, QUIZ points are available each day of class and may NOT be made up unless you have a verifiable excuse (religious holiday...must be pre-notified, note from physician or hospital, court date etc.) If for ANY reason you miss class, no points may be made up! You may drop 1 quiz and if you miss an exam, you may make up the lecture portion only and it will be all essay. You may use your Group and OAA points that you haven’t used to raise your grade for those points. (I will keep a running total of those points and those may be used to make up a missed lab exam. YOU MAY NOT MISS THE FINAL EXAM!

It is your responsibility to drop the class if you don’t intend to continue. Any student remaining on my roster at the end of the term will receive a grade.
