Requisites

Pre- or Co-requisite BSC 2085 with a minimum grade of C

Course Description

This is the laboratory component of BSC 2085 which provides opportunities for students to reinforce their knowledge of human anatomy and physiology and learn human anatomy and physiology from a laboratory perspective. The course will use a lab-based systems approach, with an emphasis on integrated structure-function relationships at the cell, tissue, organ and organ systems level. Laboratory component includes studies using microscopy of human and animal tissues, skeletons, models, video film clips and the study of physiological concepts via experimentation or simulations using the metric system. The systems studied include integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous

Learning Outcomes and Objectives

    5. Listing the primary organs in and functions of, the major organ systems.
  2. The student will apply principles of chemistry by:
    1. Determining pH by analyzing pH of different solutions.
    2. Determining the action of buffers.
    3. Contrasting the difference between polar and non-polar solvents, analyzing the type of bonds they would dissolve, and providing significant examples.

    3. Identifying major cell organelles and listing their functions.
    4. Contrasting passive and active transport mechanisms and providing examples.
    5. Illustrating the process of mitosis and cytokinesis and listing the roles of cell organelles.
  4. Using the Integumentary system the student will analyze major tissue types by:
    1. Illustrating microscopic anatomy, location and functions of a broad selection of tissues within the four basic tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous).
    2. Listing the general features of the four major tissue types and using the Integumentary system to demonstrate them.
    3. Illustrating microscopic anatomy of the skin and accessory structures.
    4. Identifying the specific tissue layers of the skin.
    5. Identifying the accessory structures of the skin and listing their functions.
  5. The student will outline the form and function of the skeletal system by:
    1. Identifying the types and locations of cartilage and bone tissue.
    2. Relating structure and functions of types of cartilaginous and bone tissue.
    3. Identifying the internal and external structure of a long bone.
    4. Listing the major bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton and their associated contours.
    5. Listing the functional and structural classifications and identifying locations of the major adult articulations.
    6. Classifying the movements of the diarthrotic joints.
  6. The student will describe the muscular system by:
    1. Identifying types, functions and locations of muscle tissue.
    2. Illustrating the organization of a typical skeletal muscle.
    3. Relating the structure of skeletal muscle fiber to its role in muscle contraction.
    4. Identifying the major skeletal muscles of axial and appendicular regions with their attachments.
    5. Determining the actions of the major skeletal muscles at various joints.
  7. The student will examine the nervous system by:
    1. Illustrating the histology of the nervous system and the function of each cell.
    2. Identifying the components of a reflex arc.
    3. Contrasting somatic and autonomic reflexes.
    4. Identifying meninges, spaces and location of cerebrospinal fluid in the CNS.
    5. Identifying major areas/structures of the brain and listing their functions.
    6. Identifying the cranial nerves and summarizing their functions.
    7. Illustrating the structure of the spinal cord and relating structure to functions.
    8. Summarizing the functions of the autonomic nervous system.
  8. The student will explain the sensory system by:
    1. Demonstrating cutaneous sensation.
    2. Illustrating the gross anatomy of the special senses (sight, hearing, taste and smell).
    3. Listing the functions of the special senses (sight, hearing, taste and smell).
    4. Matching the pathways for the special senses and the areas they project to in the brain.

Criteria Performance Standard

Upon completion of this course the student will, with a minimum 70 percent accuracy, demonstrate mastery of each of the above stated objectives through classroom measures developed by individual course instructors.
