COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This course continues a study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems are studied, along with their regulation by the nervous and endocrine systems. The physiology and anatomy of the systems covered in BIO 282 is challenging. Lecture sessions will be devoted primarily to physiology while the lab will emphasize the anatomy of these systems. Each system’s role in homeostasis will be discussed and the interactions between body systems highlighted.   Passing Biology 281 is prerequisite.  A student should not take Biology 282 without first passing Biology 281.

 

PREREQUISITES: Passing Bio 281/ Registering for Bio 282Lab is REQUIRED

 

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS: Seeley, 2017. Anatomy & Physiology, 11th Ed. McGraw-Hill, Boston.

Wise, E. 2017.  Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual.  11th Ed. McGraw-Hill, Boston.

 

 

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, and comprehend the structures and functions of the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immunity, respiratory, digestive, and metabolism, urinary and water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, reproductive and development.
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 student is responsible for all the material covered in the textbook and for the material presented in class and on Canvas. The format of the lecture assignments (10%) and tests (65%)= (total 75% of grade) will be discussed. Lab (25% of grade) consists of experiments or lessons.

Safety precautions will be reviewed; if there is a question as to proper, safe technique, please ask the instructor. The labs will follow the lab manual as much as possible. There are no make-up labs. We grade on a 10 point scale: e.g. 90 – 100 = A, etc.  Below 60 is a failing grade. The instructor reserves the right to implement “plus” or “minus” grades.

 

ASSESSMENT TOOLS

Periodic tests, online assignments, lab exercises and quizzes, and lab practicals.

 

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Lab attendance is mandatory.

 

METHODOLOGY:  There will be lectures, labs, discussions, and audio-visual materials. Canvas is used for communication and assignments. Students are requested to check Canvas frequently for class information.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students are expected to attend classes and laboratories as specified by the instructor, who will state his/her attendance policy in writing at the beginning of the semester. No 'allowed' number of absences is automatically granted to a student in any course. Ordinarily, a student will not receive credit if he/she misses more than 25% of the scheduled class meetings unless extenuating circumstances exist. (Lenoir-Rhyne University General Catalog).

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY:

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.

 

Cheating will result in a failing grade for the course. The instructor reserves the right to review test material with a student in a case of suspected cheating; and if this review is not commensurate with the test grade, then a new test will be issued or student will be referred to the Dean’s office.

Your grade may be lowered for disruptive behavior in class, e.g., talking, cell phone use.

Final Words:

• It is vital for you to keep up with the class material as each lesson builds upon prior lessons.
• The instructor reserves the right to change the lecture and testing schedule with notice.
• The student is responsible for his or her own well-being. Proper lab technique should be used at all times. We will observe universal precautions at all times when handling specimens. If there is any question as to safety, pleases consult with the instructor.
• You are responsible for what is discussed during each class period (deadlines, etc.).
• The student will receive a zero for any missed work or tests. If there is a valid doctor’s excuse, death in the family, or intervention from the dean, then there may be a make-up test or a new assignment. This make-up work will include all the material presented or assigned up to the time that the student takes the test. It may not be the same format as the missed test and may be given during final exam time.
• Grades will not be curved or adjusted in any way.
• There is no extra credit.
• Final exam is cumulative and comprehensive.
