Course Description: Examines the anatomy of human organs and organ systems from a structural perspective that focuses on an understanding of the design of the human body. In laboratory, students learn to distinguish tissue types through histological specimens, and study the three-dimensional relationship of body structures through required non-human mammalian dissection. Demonstrations on human cadavers will afford students a working knowledge of the gross anatomy of the human body. Applies to Associate Degree. Transfer credit: CSU; UC

NOTE* The use of cadavers in the lab is a privilege, not a right. There are very strict rules which have been imposed on the use of the anatomy lab. These rules are strictly enforced to ensure the privilege of the college to continue to use the cadavers at the behest of UCI. NO OPEN TOED (or heeled) SHOES ALLOWED IN LAB! NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES OF ANY KIND ALLOWED IN LAB! If you attempt to enter the lab with open toes shoes, you will be denied. If you are caught using an electronic device in lab, you will be excused with loss of any lab points for that lab! You will sign a contract before using the anatomy lab.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Use appropriate anatomical terminology to describe systems, parts, and positions. 2. Relate the structure of the human body to the functioning of the system and classify system parts structurally. 3. Describe how body systems maintain homeostasis in the organism and predict how the system responds to an imbalance to restore homeostasis. 4. Describe membrane structure and function. 5. Describe cell structure. 6. Identify the tissues that comprise the organs of the human body. 7. Describe the major organ systems at the cellular, tissue and organ level. 8. Identify the structural parts of each organ system and relate structure to the functioning of the system. 9. Describe how human systems change over the lifespan of the individual. 10. Describe the development of each system. 11. Describe the relationship between the organ systems and their integration to form a coordinated, functional whole organism. 12. Examine histological preparations and identify tissue types. 13. Demonstrate appropriate dissection techniques and identify anatomical structures in a dissected specimen.

LECTURE AND LABORATORY EXPERIENCE

The best way to approach this class is to “give in” to being there for 4 hours on Monday and Wednesday. Have nothing else on your mind. Study every single day. I will place a video for you on the way that your brain learns. This will really help.

Lecture and labs will utilize many teaching techniques including, lecture, powerpoint demonstrations, handouts, drawings, videos, modeling, debating, case history discussions to convey complex course material in a clear and manageable format, experimenting, discussion and hopefully, guest lecturers.

LABS: Labs will be cat dissection, skeletons, models, human cadaver examination and identification and various other projects to demonstrate anatomical knowledge. I will acquaint you with the material being covered in the lab and we will begin all labs as a class. You will be required to complete the lab assignment with all written results. I encourage all students to help one another to learn the material.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to empower you to take charge of what you know. There is basic knowledge which will enable you to “think out” the details. It is my desire to reacquaint you with your “thinking center”. Only by using your thinking capacity will you eventually succeed in life. All of my lessons and exams require you to think about the knowledge obtained and from there, figure out the answer by “thinking”. I may use unconventional techniques on occasion to demonstrate that you actually know more than you are aware of. Confidence and accomplishment are vital to becoming a superior healthcare practitioner and I will work as hard as you will to provide an experience which will provide an atmosphere in which those objectives can be realized.

NOTE: This course is a very challenging class which requires personal virtues which perhaps have not been used before. You will be asked to behave in a professional manner during the class time. The material to be learned is vast and many out of class hours will be required to successfully pass this class. (approximately 2 hours per hour of lecture) Please note that the abilities which are required are the same abilities which you will need when you begin your career as a healthcare practitioner. Use this time to learn how to act to become one of the best. The personal attributes that will be required are: attendance, punctuality, doing your own work, completing tasks on-time, respecting others, working with others, staying in contact with me when going through challenges and being responsible for learning well. I make it my business to keep track of how each student is doing and what, if any, their challenges are.

CHEATING – Please make yourself aware of the College’s policy on cheating in your student handbook and the consequences of such activities. If you cheat on an exam in my class, you will receive a zero on that exam. A second occurrence will result in your dismissal from my class with an F.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF COURSE:

GRADING SCALE: Grades will be issued for this course as A,B,C,D,and F. Students with a D or F following the mid-term exam will receive a written notification. This class is NOT graded on a curve and there is NO extra credit! Do your best on the everyday activities and you will do well.

The scale is: A = 90 - 100% B = 80 - 89% C = 70 – 79% D = 60 – 69% F = 0 – 59%

METHOD OF EVALUATION: (may be adjusted!) TOTALS

6 Lecture Exams 50 points each 300 6 Lab Exams 50 points each 300 total 600 – 100 = 500

Your lowest exam will be dropped so your lowest lecture exam and your lowest lab exam will be dropped. HOWEVER, you MUST take the final exam and you cannot drop that one!

A = 450 - 500 points exactly! If you end up with 449 points, you will receive a B! No exceptions! B = 400 - 449 points exactly! If you end up with 399 points, you will receive a C! No exceptions! C = 350 - 399 points exactly! If you end up with 349 points, you will receive a D! No exceptions! D = 300 - 349 points exactly! If you end up with 299 points, you will receive a F! No exceptions! F = <300

PLEASE DON’T ASK ME FOR A HIGHER GRADE IF YOU’RE 1 POINT AWAY FROM THE NEXT HIGHER GRADE! I WILL NOT GIVE IT! YOU MUST EARN YOUR GRADE!

Your exam grades will be available on engrade.com

EXAMS Lecture exams will be M/C. Lab exams will be a combination of identification, short answer, essay and drawings.

Attendance is not required in lecture, however, it is a state mandate that you attend lab. Any student missing more than 2 labs will be dropped or given an incomplete if available. If you will miss lab, you must email me prior to the beginning of class. If you miss an exam, that will count for the lowest grade. YOU MAY NOT MISS THE FINAL EXAM! You will have to take an incomplete if missed.

It is your responsibility to drop the class if you don’t intend to continue. Any student remaining on my roster at the end of the term will receive a grade.
