McKenna, Mary. Biological Science 15: Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology Gavilan College

Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology (Bio 15) will study the structure and function of the human body. The course consists of on online lecture which you are required to visit at minimum twice a week (follow schedule lectures listed below) you are also to attend a weekly three hour lab.

This Anatomy and Physiology Hybrid course is fast paced and requires that you have access to a computer (preferably DSL) able to run PowerPoint slide show and some computer skills. Also knowledge of general biology, chemistry and math is recommended to succeed in the course. Flashcards, good note taking skills, and group learning are also essential for success in this course.

This course is required for admission to the LVN program at Gavilan and other community college nursing programs and is CSU, UC transferable. It is also required for the P.E. degree at Gavilan and can be used to help fulfill the GE requirement for science.

COURSE ORGANIZATION:

Material will be presented primarily in the form of online lectures, readings assignments from text/supplement, and ‘active’ group learning assignments which may include interactive case studies. You will be required to download all lecture material and assignments, so it is essential that you have a computer with internet access to succeed in the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. Develop a detailed understanding of the anatomical and physiological aspects of the human body.

2. Develop an understanding of the physiological interactions and compensatory mechanisms used by the body’s organ system in maintaining homeostasis.

3. Develop critical thinking skills through the use of the scientific method.

4. Prepare students choosing careers in allied health professions such as nutrition, psychology, sports medicine, and holistic health.

5. Where time permits study various pathologies, and methods by which physicians make specific diagnosis. Some basic pharmacology may be included as well as interactive case studies.

LABORATORY: 36% of Course Grade

COURSE LAB ASSIGNMENTS: 160 points

Each lab assignment taken from the Hole’s Lab manual is worth 4-6 points each and will be turned in at the end of each lab period. There are absolutely no make-ups for missed lab assignments!

Laboratory Practicum: 100 points

Laboratory exams will be given during the 8th and the 16th week each worth 50 points. Items on the lab practicum will include, but not limited to lab assignments, handouts and lab discussion. The lab exam will consist of 50 multiple choice questions and may be in the form of identification, fill in, function type questions.

ATTENDANCE: 25 points

At the end of the session, your attendance will be reviewed. Perfect attendance and punctuality means that you keep the 25 points for class participation.

Grades:

The Percent breakdown for determining your grade is as follows:

12.8% Final Exam

25.6% Mid-Term Exams

12.8% Lecture Quizzes

12.3% Lecture Assignments

33.3% Laboratory Assignments/Lab Practicum

3.2% Attendance

Your grade will be determined by the percentage you earn of the total possible points available
