 COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

This I credit-hour course is a laboratory designed to enhance students' understanding of Anatomy and Physiology and is a companion course to the lecture series. The first semester will focus on the integument, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Lecture sessions are devoted primarily to physiological subject matter while the laboratory sessions will emphasize the anatomy of these systems, however some concepts presented in lecture will be reviewed during the lab. It is important to consider each system’s role in homeostasis and the interactions between body systems. This is a difficult  course. 

 

PREREQUISITES: none

 

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS and OTHER MATERIALS:  10th edition  Wise, E. Van Putt Anatomy and Physiology lab manual

 

RECOMMENDED BOOKS and/or OTHER MATERIALS: none

 

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

1. use anatomical terms describing human body structures and their functions.
2. identify, recognize, comprehend the structures and functions of the following systems: integument, skeleton, muscles, brain, peripheral nerves, and special senses.
3. utilize critical reasoning skills to relate together the anatomical and physiological concepts.
4. gain an appreciation of the interdependency and complexity of the human body.

 

 EVALUATION:

The final grade will be determined by quizzes, practical examinations, and assignments.

There will be an in class quiz each week ( except when there is a practical test)

Lab quizzes and assignments count 33% of lab grade

Lab practicals count 67% of lab grade

The lab grade counts 25% of the course grade.

 

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: none

 

METHODOLOGY:  lab: dissections, microscopes, models, charts etc

ATTENDANCE POLICY: 

All labs must be attended.  A zero is given for a missed lab.  If an intercollegiate activity, illness or death in the family occurs, a student may attend another lab section by obtaining 2 permissions.  Email your regular lab instructor and the lab instructor of the lab you want to attend.  Explain why you need to switch and ask permission to do so.

 

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY: THE ACADEMIC INTEGRITY SYSTEM revised 6.1.2015 (1).pdf

 

THE LENOIR-RHYNE STUDENT HONOR COMMITMENT AND STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

 

A fundamental purpose of a liberal education is its attempt to cultivate in the student a sense of honor and high principles pertaining especially to academics, but extending to all areas of life. An inherent feature of Lenoir-Rhyne is its commitment to an atmosphere of integrity and ethical conduct. As a student of Lenoir-Rhyne, I accept as my personal responsibility the vigorous maintenance of honesty, truth, fairness, civility, and concern for others.

 My devotion to integrity demands that I will not cheat in academic work and that I adhere to the established and required community code of conduct. I accept the responsibility for upholding the established standards against those who would violate them. And I understand and accept the consequences of infracting upon or assisting others in infracting upon this code. In addition to and beyond the requirements of any code of law, I affirm my own commitment to personal honor and integrity in all matters large and small. Even though the ideal of honor is an abstract one, by implementing this ideal, I join the men and women of Lenoir-Rhyne in making the concept of honor a reality.

  

Additional Instructions

 

Students are expected to fill in answers to the review questions at the end of each of the assigned exercises prior to the lab.  The material covered in the weekly quizzes will be derived from these questions.  Failure to do these questions will jeopardize your quiz grades.

 

Be very careful in lab. Report any accidents to the lab instructor.

 

You are expected to use your lab time wisely. You must use this time to study for the lab practicals. The lab is not available at other times.

 Studying anatomy in the lab is tedious. You must constantly review, memorize, and test one another. You must prepare and study for lab before you arrive. Make a list of the most common anatomy terms and carry it with you at all times.

Cameras and cell phones –

Taking pictures can be useful study aids, but they are not the main goal of the lab. Coming to lab and rushing to take pictures and leave is not acceptable attendance. Since human anatomy is 3 dimensional, lab is an opportunity to study the body in 3 dimensions. Practical tests are given in 3 dimensions as well. It is crucial to use lab time for hands on and interactive study. Pictures of slides are not indicative of what may be on the test as a different section of the specimen may be displayed. It is important to understand the structure and function of the system seen on the slide, and how they are related in order to identify it on the test. This can not be done by pictures alone.  Taking pictures can be a distraction from the class lesson and to other students who are studying. 

Pictures will be allowed at the instructor's discretion, and not before 90 minutes after the starting time of the lab.  You will be informed of when it is time to take pictures. 

Please do not use your cell phones during lab for other reasons than to take pictures. Please do not to take pictures or videos of any people in class without their permission. 

ACCOMMODATION for DISABILITIES:

 If you are a student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, visual, etc…) in need of academic accommodations, please contact the Disability Services Office at 828-328-7296 or sherry.proctor@lr.edu to establish services.
