Texas Core Curriculum Statement of Purpose Through the Texas Core Curriculum, students will focus on describing, explaining, and predicting natural phenomena using the scientific method. This course involve the understanding of interactions among natural phenomena and the implications of scientific principles on the physical world and on human experiences. II. Course Description Study of the structure and function of human anatomy, including the neuroendocrine, integumentary, musculoskeletal, digestive, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Content may be either integrated or specialized. III. Required Background or Prerequisite Passing score on TSI Reading section is recommended. Recommended prerequisite: BIOL 1407. IV. Required Textbook and Course Materials HOLE S ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 12 th edition. Shier, Butler and Lewis. McGraw Hill. 2012. ISBN 978-007-337-8152 Laboratory Atlas of Anatomy and Physiology 6th edition. Eder, Kaminsky, Bertram. McGraw Hill 2009. ISBN 978-0-07-352567-9 V. Course Purpose Study of the structure and function of human anatomy, including the neuroendocrine, integumentary, musculoskeletal, digestive, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Content may be either integrated or specialized. VI. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. 2. Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. 3. Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems. 4. Explain contributions of organs 2
and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis. 5. Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances. 6. Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology. The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and special senses. VII. Core Objectives This course meets the following of the six Core Objectives established by Texas: Critical Thinking Skills (CT) Creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis; evaluation and synthesis of information Communication Skills (COM) effective development, interpretation and expression of ideas through written, oral, and visual communication Empirical and Quantitative Skills (EQS) The manipulation and analysis of numerical data or observable facts resulting in informed conclusions Teamwork (TW) The ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal VIII. Methods of Instruction Lectures in which the major concepts and theories in anatomy and physiology will be discussed. Labs in which major anatomical and physiological principles will be demonstrated by examination of specimens and viewing videos. IX. Methods of Assessment Exams will consist primarily of fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions and will cover all material discussed since the last exam (except the final which is cumulative). Each question will be graded as correct or incorrect in accordance with information in the text and lectures. Exam grades will be taken as the number of points correct. Students missing lectures are responsible for getting notes (notes are available on the Ranger College web page via Blackboard). Make-up exams, for exams missed due to an excused absence, will be given later in the semester. Bonus points may be available for students taking the exam at the assigned time, but not for makeup exams. Students are strongly urged to not miss exams. Grading scale: A = 90-100% B = 80-89 C = 70-79 D = 60-69 F = Below 60 3
X. Course/Classroom Policies Regular and punctual attendance in all classes and labs is considered essential for optimum academic success. If the student has the equivalence of three weeks of unofficial absences... the instructor may drop the student from the course with a grade of F (Ranger College General Catalog). Students are expected to be seated by the beginning of the lecture period. Excessive tardies (6) may be considered as absences. Excessive unexcused absences (6) may result in a grade of I (incomplete) and may result in dismissal from the course with a grade of F. It is your responsibility to inform the instructor of an excused absence. An absence is excused if you are excused by the Dean to participate in an authorized College activity. Any student who is disruptive to the class will be dismissed from the class and may be dismissed from the course. Any student found with unauthorized notes (cheat sheets, electronic devices, etc.) during an exam or copying from another student's exam will be subject to disciplinary action. Any student misconduct will be reported to the Dean of Student Services. XI.
