INTRODUCTION This course is the first of four courses which introduce nursing students to the organization and functioning of the human body. In this course, students will first overview the structural and functional organization of the body. This will include a review of all body systems by examining the anatomy of each system and investigating how each system works to maintain homeostasis (balanced functioning of the human body) or else sexual reproduction. Students will then study the chemical, cellular and tissue levels of body organization before making a detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems. Students will learn basic scientific terminology applied to medical and surgical nursing practice and will become competent in various necessary laboratory skills such as basic dissection techniques and the proper use of the compound microscope.

7 Human Anatomy & Physiology I ( AB) Paul Anderson Course Outline Jan 2012 Page 7 E. REQUIRED COURSE MATERIALS 1. Textbook The course textbook is: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Martini & Bartholomew, 5th edition (2010) or 4 th edition, 2007, Pearson Education. This textbook, together with the CD ROM, is available at the college bookstore for a combined price of about $130. This text will also be used for Human Anatomy & Physiology II (806) and will be useful for Microbiology and Pathophysiology. The Study Guide for the course textbook is available at the bookstore for about $53. The following former texts are also acceptable Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, by Frederic Martini, 5 th (or later.) edition, Pearson Human Anatomy & Physiology, by Elaine Marieb, 5 th (or later) edition, Pearson. The above named books and other equivalent texts are also available in the Biology Learning Center and/or College Library. Students will be expected to study assigned chapters of the textbook that will supplement and amplify material covered in class. 2. Laboratory Manual You are required to purchase the Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 (805). This can be purchased from the College Bookstore for approximately $ Lab Coat & Safety Glasses: Lab Costs The wearing of a lab coat and eye protection (glasses) is compulsory for certain "wet" labs (e.g. all dissections) This is a precaution to protect your skin, eyes and clothing from potentially harmful chemicals and biological fluids. These materials may be purchased from the College Bookstore. If you already wear glasses, these will be adequate eye protection. An additional lab fee may be charged at registration to cover lab materials. F OTHER RESOURCES 1. Course Web Site Access to the Internet is essential for all students in this course, whether on campus or off campus, The course Web Site must be accessed regularly and will have the following resources: the course outline, PowerPoint lectures & lecture diagrams from Martini s text, Key Concepts for 805 (formerly used as a course pack), sample unit tests with answers, answers for lab exercises with images of histology slides and anatomical models, external links to useful anatomy & physiology Web Sites (such as the textbook Web Site) as well as to useful medical/nursing Web Sites.

8 Human Anatomy & Physiology I ( AB) Paul Anderson Course Outline Jan 2012 Page 8 2. Biology Learning Center (H-320) and College Library Students are encouraged to use the Biology Learning Center in H320 for independent study. The Learning Center is open daily during the day division semester from 8:30 am to 4:30pm. It contains various course-related resource materials such as textbooks, references, CD ROMs, computer software and other supplementary lecture and lab materials. Certain lab materials (dissections, models, microscope slides) may also be available for review purposes in the Learning Center. A copy of Martini s larger text (used previously) will be available on reserve in the college library (first floor of Herzberg). G. METHODS of TEACHING 1. Classroom Sessions: two classroom lecture sessions will be given each week. These sessions will consist of lectures covering most of the theory of the course. This material will be tested in the unit exams and in the final exam. Coming fully prepared to each classroom session and the ability to take effective notes are two basic requirements for your success in this course. 2. Laboratory Sessions: one 2 hour laboratory session will normally be held each week in Room H318. You must study the relevant lab exercise each week (see "Course Schedule") before coming to the laboratory. A short pre-lab instruction will be given and you must therefore arrive promptly for each lab. The lab periods will also be used for the 2 Lab Tests (see Course Schedule). Students are strongly encouraged to ask questions in both lectures and laboratories. H. ATTENDANCE & COURSE REGULATIONS Attendance at lectures and labs is not only compulsory but is indispensable for your success in this course. An attendance record will be kept for classes and labs. All students must write the unit tests, lab exams and the final exam at the assigned times. A make-up exam may only be offered, at the discretion of the instructor, to those students who have a valid excuse for missing a test (e.g. for medical reasons). Any student missing a test for medical or other valid reasons must produce written proof. The make-up test must be requested by the student and normally taken within one week of the missed test. I. EVALUATION OF STUDENTS The purpose of evaluation is to determine how well students meet the course objectives. Evaluation Scheme a) Laboratories 2 Laboratory Tests (each worth 15%) (Practical & Theory) 30% b) Classroom Evaluation 3 Unit Tests (each worth 15%) 45% c) Final Exam 25%* TOTAL 100% The pass mark for the course is 60% * The final exam will be divided into 3 sections and the mark for each section will be compared with the corresponding unit exam mark. If a better mark is obtained this will replace the original unit mark. However, successful students are usually those who work consistently during the term rather than students who try to cram at the end of term.

9 Human Anatomy & Physiology I ( AB) Paul Anderson Course Outline Jan 2012 Page 9 1. Laboratory Evaluation Lab evaluation will consist of two lab tests. Laboratory tests will be approximately 60 minutes long and will be held in a regular lab session (see Course Schedule). Each lab test will consist of practical questions and (where appropriate) related theoretical questions. Each lab test may include dissections, bones, slides, diagrams, anatomical models and any other materials that have been used for learning purposes in the laboratory sessions. 2. Class Evaluation Class evaluation will consist of three unit tests. Each unit test will be held during a classroom session and will cover lecture and homework material, which will be specified to you in advance. These exams may include multiple choice, matching or short - answer questions. 3. Final Exam A common final exam, worth 25% of the final grade (see comments under Evaluation Scheme ) will be held in the final week of the term. The final exam is compulsory for all students and will last a maximum of 3 hours. This exam will cover material from all six units of this course. J. COURSE COSTS (approximate) Textbook $ 130 Lab Coat $ 15 Safety Glasses $ 10 Lab Manual $ 30 K. CHEATING & PLAGIARISM The college policy on cheating and plagiarism will be strictly adhered to. L. TEACHER AVAILABILITY Office hours Office hours (see page1) will be posted on the instructor's door. Please make use of these office hours if you need individual help or else make an appointment.
