Introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students
by G. Sackheim |
|
|
Optional: |
The Anatomy Coloring Book
, by Kapt & Elson |
Course Purpose: This course is the second half of a two-semester
course that will help satisfy human anatomy and physiology requirements for
nursing, pre-dental, pre-medical, and other health-related fields. It may
also serve as the basic science course required for an associate degree.
Course Description
: A continuation of BIOL 2401. Emphasis will be given to the study of the
anatomical and physiological interrelationships of the circulatory, respiratory,
digestive, reproductive and excretory systems. This course is designed primarily
for students entering health careers.
Course Outcomes: Students will use microscopes, microscopic slides,
diagrams, models, and dissection of animal specimens during their study of
the following systems: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and
reproductive systems. Upon completion of the course, the students will be
able to:
|
1. |
Identify important anatomical structures in each
of the stated organ systems. |
|
2. |
Demonstrate an understanding of all important
physiological processes of the stated systems as well as fluid and
electrolyte balance, nutrition, metabolism, pregnancy, human embryology,
fetal development and human genetics. |
|
3. |
Relate the principles of biological chemistry as
they apply to the human body. |
|
4. |
Describe the interrelationships between anatomy
& physiology in each of the organ systems listed. |
|
5. |
Explain the principle of homeostasis & the
primary control mechanisms that operate in each of the organ systems
listed. |
|
6. |
Demonstrate an appreciation for how the organ systems
interact to maintain homeostasis in the human body. |
|
7. |
Develop a vocabulary of biomedical terms relative
to the human body. |
Equal Opportunity Statement: "The NHMCCD is committed to the principle
of equal opportunity in education and employment. NHMCCD does not discriminate
against individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, disability,
age, veteran status, nationality or ethnicity in the administration of its
educational policies, admissions policies, employment policies, scholarship
and loan programs, and other District or College administered programs and
activities."
Class Materials: It is recommended that you bring the following
to class: a one inch, three ring binder with dividers for class notes, handouts,
reference sheets, and loose leaf paper; pens, two #2 pencils for
scantron sheets, a highlighter, colored pencils, textbook, &
lab manual. If you are taking this class by distance education, then I recommend
that you also keep a three ring binder to hold the notes, etc.
Lab Materials: Each student should bring a lab manual, paper, pencils,
pens, and colored pencils to each lab. Disposable gloves and dissection
equipment will be supplied by NHC.
Supplemental Learning Materials: Materials such as laboratory models,
books, workbooks, and charts are available in the Learning Center Lab in
Academic 200 (Biology Room) at NHC. Computer tutorials entitled "Bodyworks"
and "Adam", a microscope, a set of microscope slides, and
boxes of bones are available at the front desk of A200. Terrific
tutorials, web sites and actual pictures of the slides and models used in
laboratory are available on the North Harris College Science Web Page. This
page can be reached by clicking on NHC Science Page at the top of my
WebCT home page or by going to
http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/
. A departmental laboratory calendar with links to animations and tutorials
is on this site. Use this site frequently to prepare for lab practical exams
as well as lecture exams. Take the time to become familiar with the tutorials,
animations, movies, and other links on this page. You will be glad that you
did. Also, the publisher of your text has a wonderful web site called Hole's
Absences and Make-ups: Class attendance is required and you are
responsible for all material covered. In case of prolonged absences, you
must notify me. Withdrawal from the course is your responsibility. I
WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY WITHDRAW A STUDENT FROM CLASS. If you quit coming
to class and do not contact the registrar to drop the class, the grade automatically
becomes an "F".
If an emergency results in your missing an exam,
it is your responsibility to notify me immediately to be eligible for a
make-up exam. CALL OR E-MAIL PRIOR TO
THE DAY OF THE TEST IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND CLASS. Make-up exams consist
of 5 - 10 essay questions. These exams will be taken in the assessment
center on the student's own time within one week of the assigned test date
or a zero will be given for the test grade. Only one make-up exam will be
given. If an emergency occurs and you miss more than one exam, an Incomplete
will be assigned as the grade in the course. It is your responsibility to
work out the time period of the Incomplete with me. Note that Lab Practical
Exams cannot be made up. If an emergency prevents you from taking the
Lab Practical with your classmates, arrangements may be made for you to take
the practical with one of the other classes, provided there is room. You
must call to make arrangements prior to the practical. All exams &
practical exams will be retained by the instructor.
Cheating:
Cheating will not be tolerated. Students entering the medical field
must have high ethical standards. Academic honesty is absolutely necessary.
Cheating and/or plagiarism may include: using unauthorized assistance on
any exam, paper or project; presenting the work of someone else as your own
without acknowledging the source; taking exams or course material from an
instructor or student; or submitting the same academic work for credit more
than once without consent. Violations will result in a "zero" on the assignment
or exam. Flagrant cheating will result in the student receiving a failing
grade.
Evaluation: Four to five lecture exams (100 points each)
and one
comprehensive final (200 points) will be given during the term
to evaluate lecture materials. Each exam may consist of multiple-choice,
true-false, and fill in the blank questions, and one or two short essay
questions (critical application questions). Each lecture exam has extra credit
opportunities. Three lab practical exams (100 points each) will
be conducted during the term to evaluate lab materials and activities. Questions
on the lab practical exams are all fill-in-the-blank questions. All answers
must be clearly written and spelled correctly. You may choose to write an
optional 15 page paper for extra credit (30 points). Details are available
in WebCT. No late papers will be accepted.
The following grading scale will be used:
A = 900-1000 B = 800-899 C = 700-799
D = 600-699 F = below 600
