Course Objectives
The learner will demonstrate a knowledge of the basic organization, covering support, movement, regulation, and integration of the human body. This requires proficiency in anatomical terminology; knowledge of basic anatomical structure and function; and the ability to evaluate and apply this knowledge to current topics. Evaluation of the student will be through laboratory practical examinations, lecture examinations, and written case presentations. Laboratory practical examinations and lecture examinations will evaluate the student's ability to memorize factual information regarding human anatomy and physiology. Case presentations evaluate the student's ability to read and comprehend current topics in anatomy and physiology, prepare a written evaluation of these topics, and review and critique other students' writings. The case study provides the student with an opportunity to communicate basic biologic principles to a peer audience, as well as receive feedback regarding their critical thinking and written communication skills.
Topical Outline
There are four case studies, each requiring the student to synthesize materials from the text, lecture notes, and laboratory exercises. Some case studies may include additional readings. Introduction: Levels of Organization; Homeostasis; Terminology; Cell Physiology and Membrane Transport Course Information; Intro to Autonomic Nervous System Anatomy of the Autonomic Nervous System: SNS Anatomy of the PSNS and Physiology of the ANS Introduction to Endocrinology Endocrine System: Mechanisms of Action; Anatomy and Hormones of the Pituitary Anatomy and Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary; ACTH, GH Thyroid Hormones Other Endocrine Organs: Parathyroid, Adrenals, Kidney, Heart & GI Blood: Functions and Composition; Plasma; RBC's, WBC's Blood Platelets and Hemostasis Anatomy of the Heart Action Potential in Cardiac Cells; Conduction System THe Cardiac Cycle Hemodynamics: Stroke Volume and Heart Rate Anatomy of Blood Vessels Blood Vessels Cardiovascular Physiology: Blood Pressure and CVS Response to Exercise; Diseases of the CVS Anatomy of the Respiratory System: Lower Respiratory Tract Respiratory Physiology: Ventilation; Exchange and Transportation of Gasses; Control of Respiration Respiratory Physiology Anatomy of the Urinary System: Kidneys Ureter and Bladder Anatomy; Renal Physiology; Basic Processes Renal Physiology; Regulation of Electrolytes and Water; Acid-Base Balance Renal Physiology GI Anatomy: Mouth to Stomach GI Anatomy: Intestines Anatomy of the Liver and Gall Bladder Pancreas; Digestion, Absorption and Metabolism of Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids; Vitamins and Minerals The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary.
