Communication: If you like to talk to me in a one-to-one setting I will be available during the posted office hours, however you should make an appointment with me so that I can prepare for you and you do not have to wait. The out of class communication in this course is going to be exclusively via Hawkmail (CampusCruiser); i.e. you must send me e-mail from within Hawkmail. If your e-mail does not include your name and course/section I will not respond to it. Notice also that I will respond as fast as I can, but that does not mean that you can expect return on the weekend or holidays or the same day.

Course Description: Human Anatomy and Physiology is intended for Allied Health and Science majors. It encompasses structure and function of selected organs systems and systems of the human body. The focus of this course is on the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, immune, urinary and reproductive systems. Additionally, the biochemistry of energy production and metabolism are discussed. Remark: This course together with BSC 1085 provides the foundation for an understanding of the human body. Most students taking this course plan a career in health care. To anyone planning to work in the health field this class will be the background to a deeper understanding about yourself and your patients. A patient’s life or health may depend on whether you know what you are doing. Additionally, this class will provide the necessary background for other professional courses that rely on anatomy and physiology. Therefore, learn as much as you can in this class. You will benefit from it. Also, I will keep a high standard for this class, considering the above.

Course Objectives: At the end of this course, the student will be able to: 1. discuss the anatomy and the biochemical and physiological activity of the endocrine system. 2. describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. 3. discuss the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, digestive, immune, lymphatic, urinary and reproductive systems. 4. explain aspects of human metabolism, nutrition and fluid balance. 5. analyze clinical manifestation of pathological conditions while considering normal anatomy and physiology of the affected organ system. 6. relate the connections between healthy functions of human organ systems in an integrative manner.
Pre- and Co-Requirements for this course: College level reading and writing! Successful completion of BSC 1085 and BSC 1085L. Current enrollment in, or completion of BSC 1086L (the laboratory part of this course). Note that lab and lecture complement each other.
Textbook: Recommended: K. Saladin: Anatomy and Physiology, 4th edition, McGrawHill. The HCC package contains two CD-ROMs (Anatomy revealed), an Atlas and attached to the textbook a student study guide. Note: If you do not already own the textbook and have concerns about the considerable cost, I am also fine with you obtaining a recent print version of Martini, Anatomy and Physiology or with you obtaining the e-print versions of either Saladin or Martini. Supplemental material Additional readings and podcasts see CampusCruiser shared folder and links.
Exams and credits: There will be four regular class exams during the term. Additionally, there is a comprehensive final exam in class. You will need green Scantron sheets and #2 pencils for the class exams. There will be no make-ups whatsoever for any missed exams. If you miss an exam (for any reason) the 90% average of the other 3 exams will be recorded as your result. The final exam cannot be missed if you want to receive a passing grade. If you miss the final due to a verified emergency, you will receive an incomplete for the course and have to take the final later in order to avoid an “F” grade. The only other available credit is extra credit earned by responding to the podcasts and podcast comments on the Campus Cruiser discussion board. Notice there is a deadline!

Grading: The final total percentage will be calculated from: • •
the four in-class exams the final exam
Sum total
A=90-100% (>540) • •
(4*100 points) (200 points) = 600 points
