Description of Course Course Title: Human Anatomy & Physiology - # 434 Description: The first semester deals with an introduction to human anatomy, with studies in the following areas: cells and tissues, blood, the heart, blood vessels, the digestive system and digestion of bio-molecules, and the lymphatic system and immunity. The second semester deals with DNA technologies, cancer, the nervous system, the muscular system, the skeletal system and joints of the body, and the reproduction system, including embryological development. Labs will include, but not be limited to, those requiring extensive use of the microscope, examination of various animal organs, bones and skeletons, and the taking of blood pressures. The student will study disorders and diseases of the body and the current diagnostic techniques and treatment pertaining to them throughout the year. All students will conduct research, write a research paper, and give a presentation to the class. Goals: Identify the key structures of the body systems and relate structure to function. List and describe disorder and current medical approaches in diagnosing and treating disorders. Carry out laboratory procedures relevant to the course content, collect data, and interpret these data in relation to key concepts of the curriculum. Access and synthesis data from library, online services, and other resources to augment and enrich specific curricular topics. Requirements: Prerequisite: 74% or better in Chemistry I C.P. and Biology I, or teacher/counselor approval Text: Marieb, Elaine, Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 7 th edition, Benjamin Cummings, Prentice Hall, 2003 Key to Levels of Achievement (Listed with each learning objective) Awareness (A): Learning (L): Understanding (U): Reinforcement (R): Students are introduced to concepts, forms, and patterns. Students are involved in a sequence of steps and practice activities which involved further development and allow evaluation of process. Students demonstrate ability to apply acquired concepts and skills to individual assignments and projects on an independent level. Students maintain and broaden understanding of concepts and skills to accomplish tasks at a greater level of sophistication.
