Intro to Human Anatomy & Physiology lab Instructor Information and Office Hours
Course Information Credit Hours: Biology 2010 (lecture) = 3, Biology 2011 (lab) = 1. You must register for lecture and lab if this is the first time you are taking the course. If you are registering for the evening sections you must register for both the evening lecture and lab sections. Course Description::Designed for students in health and human performance, psychology, nursing, and allied health programs. Structure and function of the human body with emphasis on cellular structure and function, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems.
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all lectures and laboratories. Information which is not in the text or lab manuals may be introduced in class for which students will be responsible on exams. Laboratory instruction may include material that augments lecture topics but which is not explicitly required by your lecture instructor. Electronic Devices: All beepers, cell phones, iPods and other electronic media and outside communication devices must be turned off during class. Their use during class is disruptive to the conduct of the lecture and to the learning process for fellow students. You may have a laptop computer in class to be used only for purposes associated with lab. Students with Disabilities: Visit the Coordinator of Disability Services if you a disability that may affect your academic performance and need special accomadations (221-6230, details in 2010 syllabus).
Academic and Classroom Misconduct • Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Academic and classroom misconduct will not be tolerated. • Students must read the Code of Student Conduct in the new Student Handbook for an understanding of what will be expected of them within the academic setting.
Policy on Minors According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under the age of 18) are not allowed in classrooms. While I recognize that extenuating circumstances occur and make it difficult for some students to attend without bringing children with them on occasion, I must enforce University policy and thus will deny any request for a child in my classroom. You should also be aware that minors are not allowed in academic labs, computer labs, science labs, or the library. Further, children cannot be left in halls outside classrooms. Please be aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the purpose of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and for the safety and protection of minors. For additional information on minors on campus, contact the Office of Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
Course Objectives/Goals • To learn basic human anatomy and physiology in preparation for careers in health professions. 2. To provide clinical material required for predicting and understanding problems that arise when normal anatomy and physiology fail. 3. To present and identify the concept of health and wellness. 4. To stimulate skills of inquiry and logical thinking. 5. To develop literacy in writing, reading, listening, and arithmetic skills. 6. To understand the scientific method.
Grading Lab Grade = Weekly lab reports ave. (25%) + Weekly lab quiz ave. (25%) + Mid-term practical (25%) + Final practical (25%) Grading Scale: A > 90%, B > 80%, C > 70%, D > 60%, F < 60% Make-Up Exams: Advance notice, if possible, and a valid reason must be provided for an official excused absence in order to qualify for a make-up exam. Practical exams are difficult to make-up, so avoid missing them if at all possible.

Mastering A&P You must create an account using the Access code purchased with your books Once you have created your account you then register in your lab section course using this course ID: ? Note: you will use a different course ID to register in your lecture course
Computer Assisted Learning Most of the course learning software is in the MasteringAandP on-line portion of the course. You will find additional course review material and useful links on the following sites: www.apsu.edu/pittsg apbrwww5.apsu.edu/thompsonj/Anatomy%20&%20Physiology/2011%20Labs/web%20resources%20for%202011.htm I urge you to explore those links.
Student Responsibilities • Read the contents of the Lab Manual for the week so you will know what activities are planned for lab beforecoming to lab. • There will be a weekly quiz at the beginning of each week’s lab to assess your preparedness for completing that week’s lab activities • Study during any free lab time and at least a couple hours each week in the open labs to assimilate the material upon which you will be tested
Additional Responsibilities • Follow lab safety procedures • Leave your work area clean and organized • Turn in your completed homework on time • Paper assignments should be stapled with the sheets in the correct order, and with your name, your instructor’s name, and the day and time of your lab on each page as indicated in the lab assignment
Tutoring Free tutoring is available for all students for a variety of classes includingAnatomy and Physiology in the Academic Support Center, Marks - Room 122, (931) 221-6553. Call to check tutoring schedules. Some students may also meet eligibility requirements to receive academic assistance from Student Support Services. For more information contact: Student Support Services Program, Ellington, Room 337, (931) 221-6142.
Don’t Lose Your Way You cannot cram for an A&P exam! Warning: Exam dates are closer than they appear!
Lab 1 – The Language of Anatomy G. Pitts, Ph.D., J.F. Thompson, Ph.D. & J.R. Schiller, Ph.D.
Lab 1 Activities Learn anatomical directional terms Obtain a general understanding of organ systems Learn body planes, regions, and cavities Learn the parts of a microscope and their functions Learn the properties of the light microscope: light intensity and magnification Observe effects of magnification on width and depth of field Calculate total magnification and field of view
The Language of Anatomy • Anatomical position – a constant reference point • Directional terms - Table 1.1, pg. 12 text • Surface Anatomy (Regional terms) - Figure 1.1, pg. 1-3 • Axial • Appendicular
Body Planes and Sections • Sagittal • Midsagittal = median • Frontal • Transverse (cross) • Is there a section not illustrated? Figure 1.3, pg. 1-5
Body cavities Figure 1.5, pg. 1-7
Membranes in the Ventral Cavity • ventral cavity lined with serous membrane (Serosa) which produces the serous fluid • Like a “Fist in a balloon” • Membrane inside a membrane with a narrow enclosed space in between • parietal • the outer membrane • on the body wall • visceral • the inner membrane • on the organ wall • space filled with watery fluid • Membrane named depending on its position, and the cavity’s organs inside • parietal pericardium • visceral pericardium
Organ Systems Overview (a couple of examples) • Integumentary (Skin & Its Derivatives) • Major Component Tissues & Organs: Epidermal and dermal regions; cutaneous sense organs and glands • Functions: Protection, Body Temperature Regulation, (excretion), Vitamin D synthesis, Sensation, Communication • Muscular • Major Component Organs: Muscles attached to skeleton • Functions: contract and shorten for locomotion, other body movements, posture, and facial expression; and body temperature regulation via heat generation (thermogenesis)
Organ Systems Overview • Learn the Components and Functions of the eleven body systems described in Table 1.1 in the Lab Manual. • Be able to identify the organ system to which a specific organ belongs if it is labeled on a chart or model (such as a torso model) • Be able to correctly associate an organ or organ system with the body cavity (Figure 1.5) or abdominopelvic region (Figure 1.6) where it is located
Slides for Lab 1 Activity 6-7 Activity 8 Activity 9 Preparing the wet mount of cheek cells
Lab Report • Microscope Activities Questions: the last page of Lab 1 • due no later than at the beginning of Lab 2. • Mastering AandP Lab Review Exercises • Do the on-line exercises for Lab 1, entering your answers in Mastering AandP. • You must hit the submit button, provided with each question, to get credit for your work. • You have until Friday next week to submit your work for full credit; a late penalty will be applied to late lab homework.
