Course Description
Knowledge of human's anatomy is fundamental to the most basic care nurses provide to their clients. This course will focus on the structure and histology of various human body systems Clearly present anatomic & histological consideration, more emphasis will be on cellular and tissue level of organization.
General Learning Objectives
1. Help student integrate related concepts
2. Understand the relationship between anatomical & histological structures and their functions.
3. Help the students to use anatomical & histological terminology confidently.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy of body systems
Specific Learning Objectives
Cognitive:
1. Define anatomy, levels of body organization, basic anatomical terminology, control of homeostasis, Abdominopelvic regions & quadrants.

Student Responsibilities and Academic Conduct:
There are a number of expectations to achieving the goals of this course and successfully passing the Anatomy course. They include:
A. Attendance: Your success in this class will depend on regular attendance and punctuality.
1. Attendance is expected at every class, for those who miss more than 15% of lecture hours with or without acceptable excuse will be dismissed from the course.
- If class is missed, students should get missed information from lecture from a classmate. Instructors will not provide missed information.
3. In the case of a critical life event, homework, quizzes, and exams may be made up, at the discretion of the faculty.
B. Reading:
1. Reading of textbook assignments should be done before the topic is presented in class to ensure a basic understanding of the topic before lecture.
C. Active Participation in class discussions:
1. Active participation is important to successful learning. You will be encouraged to join in on class discussions, share relevant experiences, and ask questions. Emphasis is placed on practicing English in order to promote English fluency.
STUDENT CONDUCT
1. Meet the course teacher at the posted office hours or by appointment.
2. Avoid cheating, academic misconduct, fabrication, and plagiarism. Such behaviors will lead to disciplinary action as described in the students’ handbook.
3. Cell phones are required to be turned off during class time.
4. Students are expected to participate in an orderly manner. Students whose behaviors distract from the learning process will be asked to leave for the day and will count as an absence. This includes talking during class time
