Description: A regional-based study of the human body. A detailed exploration of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, muscular system, nervous system, and skeletal system, with emphasis on clinical applications and case studies.
Attendance: Because learning requires cooperation, attendance as well as class participation is expected for this course. If you receive more than 5 absences, you will be asked to drop the course. Attendance quizzes will be given during the semester. Attendance in lab is mandatory since this will be one of your main opportunities to ask questions about the laboratory material. Leaving lab early or coming late constitutes an absence.
Make-up exams and labs will only be permitted for the following reasons:
1. illness-requires note from a physician
2. death in the family
3. official SAU activity-prior permission required
4. legitimate conflict-prior permission required
If you know that you will be absent on an exam day, it is your responsibility to make prior arrangements with me as soon as possible. It is extremely difficult to make-up laboratory exams.
Exams: Lecture exams will be multiple choice and essay. The final exam will be comprehensive. Practical exams will consist mainly of identification of structures.
Laboratory Exercises: There will be three physiology experiments conducted through the semester. The corresponding laboratory assignments will be worth a total of 45 points.
Homework Assignments: There will be four homework assignments throughout the semester; each assignment is worth 5 points.
Grading: Your grade will be figured from a total point score acquired from individual lecture and laboratory practical exams. Grades will be figured according to the following scale:
92-100% = A 88-91% = B+ 82-87% = B
78-81% = C+ 72-77% = C 62-71% = D
below 62% = F
Point scores will be rounded to the first whole number.
Course Objectives: In this course you will study both the anatomy and physiology of specific systems of the human body using a regional approach. A regional approach to anatomy will allow you to visualize the three-dimensional relationship between different structures within the body. You will also gain more experience using anatomical terminology. Furthermore, you will be expected to integrate information concerning specific physiological systems into a comprehensive understanding of human body function.
Students with Disabilities: SAU supports student success by providing a broad range of reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. If you need an accommodation due to a disability, please contact the Services for Students with Disabilities.
Cadaver Lab: Human anatomical specimens will be used in the laboratory portion of this course. The use of these specimens is a valuable experience, there is no better way to learn human anatomy. Therefore, it is necessary to respect such a privilege. These are persons who have donated their bodies so that you may learn anatomy. I expect you to behave accordingly. I will be very strict concerning behavior in and around the cadaver lab.
Many people are curious about the use of cadavers in this course, but if they are not enrolled in this course they will not be allowed in the anatomy lab. NO ONE is to bring visitors into the lab for ANY reason without my permission. Anyone who violates this or any other rule will be dropped from the course with a failing grade and may be subject to further action by the University, possibly resulting in their expulsion. Since we must abide by the guidelines established by the University of Iowa Medical Center, any infringement of these guidelines may jeopardize our further use of human specimens.
Proper security measures will be used for the Gross Anatomy Lab (LEW 007). It will remained locked when not in use. If you would like to study in the lab outside the regularly scheduled times, you must sign in with me or Dr. Kelley (Lew 203). Be prepared to show your student I.D. THE MAIN ANATOMY LAB (LEW 201) SHOULD BE OPEN FOR STUDY DURING REGULAR CLASS HOURS DURING THE WEEK (8:00-5:00). If you wish to use LEW 201 at any other time, you must check-in at the security desk in the Rogalski Center, show them your student ID and have them let you in. You must also check-out at the same place.
If you have any questions, or are having difficulties with any portion of the subject matter, PLEASE come to me for help. Also, if you have any complaints or suggestions come talk to me. Remember, I am here to facilitate your learning process–I want you to be successful in this course!
