Required Texts: Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology , 7th ed., Elaine N. Marieb and Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual , 2nd ed., Elaine N. Marieb, Available at the NW Campus Bookstore.
Goals and Objectives:
The Student will:
•Have a basic understanding of anatomical terms and levels of structural organization.
•Be familiar with the basic chemical concepts which support life.
•Understand the function of cells and be able to describe and identify selected tissues.
•Know the basic structure and function of the skin, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.
•Be familiar with the basic structure and function of the special senses.
•Know the composition and functions of blood.
•Use the above concepts and knowledge in problem solving exercises and understand how the information is used and applied in everyday life.
Grading:
•Two lecture exams and a final exam will be given. The exams will be written and consist of a mixture of fill -in -the- blank, matching, multiple choice and short answer questions.
•Five laboratory quizzes worth 20 points each (total = 100 points) will be given. Laboratory quizzes will consist of identification of structures and application of concepts presented in the labs. The concepts developed in the laboratory will also be included in the lecture exams.
•Each written exam will total 100 points. Your course grade will be the average of the three written exam grades and the total points from the laboratory quizzes. For example, if a student scored 75 on the first written exam, 60 on the second exam, 82 on the final exam and earned a total of 72 points on the lab quizzes, his/her average would be 72. Grades for each written exam and the course will be assigned according to the following scale:
Average Points and Grade
90–100=A
75-89=B
60-74=C
50-59=D
below 50=F
•The laboratory review sheets at the back of the lab manual must be turned in following each lab. The review sheets will be returned and you will receive credit for completing the lab. A student who completes all of the labs will have an additional 5 percentage points added to his/her course grade average. In our example above, that would make the students course grade average 77, raising the grade from a C to a B.
•A missed exam or quiz will be made up at the discretion of the instructor. Attendance is required for both the lecture and laboratories.
