Course Description

This is the laboratory component of BSC 2086 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 organ systems level. Laboratory component includes studies using microscopy of human and animal tissues, models, video film clips and the study of physiological concepts via experimentation or simulations. The systems studied include lymphatic, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive and genetics. 45 contact hours.

Learning Outcomes and Objectives

  1. The student will recognize organization and explain physiology of the cardiovascular system by:
    1. Describing the constituents of blood and functions of each.
    2. Identifying blood cells, describing their functions and discussing special terms such as anemia, sickle cell anemia, polycythemia, and thrombocytopenia.
    3. Interpreting a normal, high and low hematocrit.
    4. Identifying ABO blood groups and Rh blood types and interpreting the group and type using unknown blood and known antisera.
    5. Identifying the external and internal structure of the heart including layers, chambers, valves and listing the openings in each chamber.
    6. Identifying the vessels entering and exiting the heart and determining the flow of blood in a cardiac cycle with attention to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
    7. Identifying the major blood vessels supplying the heart and areas supplied or drained by them.
    8. Identifying the structures of the cardiac conduction system, comparing normal and abnormal ECGs and calculating the heart rate from an ECG.
    9. Identifying and illustrating the microscopic anatomy of blood vessels.
    10. Listing and identifying the major arteries and veins of the body and their branches and tributaries.
    11. Describing cardiac output, stroke volume and peripheral resistance and the effect of the autonomic nervous system on these.
    12. Determining blood pressure and explaining systolic and diastolic values and the effect of peripheral resistance on blood pressure.
  2. The student will examine the lymphatic and immune system by:
    1. Identifying the location and listing the functions of lymphatic organs.
    2. Illustrating the histology of various lymphatic organs.
    3. Contrasting specific and non-specific immune responses and providing examples of each.
  3. The student will describe the respiratory system by:
    1. Identifying the organs of the upper and lower respiratory tract and summarizing their functions.
    2. Illustrating the histology of the major structures.
    3. Explaining conducting and respiratory zones, the respiratory membrane and determining the zones the organs belong to.
    4. Explaining the physiological process of respiration and identifying the muscles responsible for inspiration and forced expiration.
    5. Determining respiratory volumes and capacities, and the effect of restrictive and obstructive lung diseases on them.
    6. Determining the relationship of ventilation and blood pH and analyzing compensation by the respiratory system during changes in blood pH.
  4. The student will describe the organization and physiology of the endocrine system by:
    1. Identifying the location of the major organs of the endocrine system, and describing the hormones produced with their functions.
    2. Illustrating the histological structure of some of the organs of the system.
    3. Analyzing symptoms associated with some disorders of hormonal secretion and recognizing the disease condition.
  5. The student will outline the form and function of the digestive system by:
    1. Identifying the location and gross anatomical structure of the digestive tract and accessory organs and relating their functions to their structure.
    2. Listing the location and functions of the various ducts and sphincters.
    3. Illustrating the histological structure of the GI tract and the accessory organs.
    4. Identifying location and production of enzymes involved in digestion, the food groups acted on by the enzymes, and pH at which activity occurs.
    5. Relating the function of other substances such as acid and bile in digestion.
    6. Illustrating the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and listing the absorbable forms of these major food groups.
  6. The student will examine the urinary system by:
    1. Identifying the organs of the urinary system and listing their functions.
    2. Illustrating the histology of the organs of the system.
    3. Identifying the detailed structure of the nephron and listing the functions of each part.
    4. Illustrating the blood flow through the kidney and relating it to the nephron.
    5. Making use of some simple procedures to analyze urine and determining the role of ADH and Aldosterone on urine formation.
  7. The student will describe the reproductive system by:
    1. Identifying major organs of the male reproductive system and list their functions including hormones produced.
    2. Identifying major organs of the female reproductive system and list their functions including hormones produced.
    3. Illustrating the process of meiosis, relating it to oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
    4. Identifying the structure of the mammary gland.
  8. The student will explain development and apply principles of genetics by:
    1. Listing the stages of embryonic development and describing functions of structures in these stages.
    2. Describing terminology used in genetics.
    3. Determining patterns of inheritance in autosomal and sex linked traits.

Criteria Performance Standard
