DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE:
This course introduces you to basic anatomical terminology, as well as basic
chemistry, necessary to understand the functioning (physiology) of the body.
Also covers basic cell and tissue
types, and the following systems: skin
(integument), skeletal (and joints), muscular,
nervous
(including the special senses), and endocrine. The underlying themes are the importance of
understanding the chemistry (physiology) of the different systems and how the
interactive physiology of the systems works to maintain homeostasis (and
therefore life).
COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
Many students do not seem to realize that there are big differences between high school science courses and college sciences courses. For those of you taking this Anatomy & Physiology course, most of you have been exposed to General Biology at the college level and so have some idea of how much work outside of class is necessary to succeed . Even so, the amount of material covered in this course, and the pace at which it is covered, may seem tremendous, so it is important to come to class each day prepared. This means that you will need to read ahead on the assignments, and also put in a significant amount of time studying (a minimum of 8-10 hours is recommended). It is extremely dangerous to fall behind in this course, as it will be extremely difficult to catch up. If you were one of those students who could make "C’s", or even "B’s" or "A’s", in high school without studying, more power to you. However, that strategy will be guaranteed to fail in this class. Additionally, you will be expected to demonstrate both analytical and critical thinking skills in this class, which means you will be asked from time to time to distinguish between very similar answers, as well as apply information you know to novel situations. Perhaps the most important thing to remember as you learn the material is to ask questions. In class, do not hesitate to raise your hand when you are confused, and be sure to jot down questions to be asked later while you are studying. There is no better way to learn material than to ASK!! If you do not understand and do not ask, then you put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation since a lot of information you will be expected to learn builds on other material you will be expected to know! I will be happy to help as much as I can, but I can’t help you beyond my lectures if you don’t ask for help.
