COURSE OBJECTIVES Biology 2402 is recommended as required or an elective course for biology majors, pre-medical/pre-dental

students, nursing students, and others who are in the allied health professions. The semester covers the

structure and function of the human body in both a lab and lecture format. In addition to the extensive lab

coverage of human anatomy and histology, mink dissections will be a major component of the course. Biol

2401 examines cell structure and function, tissues, and the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.

Emphasis is on structure, function, and the interrelationships of the human systems, as well as regulation

of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

Learn basic anatomical and physiological terminology. Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. Locate and identify anatomical structures.

Learn the human structure at cellular, tissue, and system level (endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems for Biol 2402), and be able to identify major structures at human models and animal dissections.

Understand how body systems are interrelated to maintain the homeostasis as a whole. Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems.

Learn the concepts and mechanisms of normal physiological processes in endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems, and explain how those processes are impaired under abnormal conditions.

Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis. Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances.

Perform relevant lab activities or tests to apply the learned physiological principles in professional cases. Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology.

Discuss the relevance of specific anatomical structures or their related functions to clinical applications to better understand the relationship between structure and function.

Apply appropriate safety and ethical standards.

3

Appropriately utilize laboratory equipment, such as microscopes, dissection tools, general lab ware, physiology data acquisition systems, and virtual simulations.

Work collaboratively to perform experiments.

Demonstrate the steps involved in the scientific method. Communicate results of scientific investigations, analyze data and formulate conclusions.

Use critical thinking and scientific problem-solving skills, including, but not limited to, inferring, integrating, synthesizing, and summarizing, to make decisions, recommendations and predictions.

Texas Core Objectives

The College defines essential knowledge and skills that students need to develop during their college

experience. These general education competencies parallel the Texas Core Objectives for Student

Learning. In this course, the activities you engage in will give you the opportunity to practice two or more of

the following core competencies:

1. Critical Thinking Skills - to include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation

and synthesis of information

2. Communication Skills - to include effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas

through written, oral, and visual communication

3. Empirical and Quantitative Skills - to include the manipulation and analysis of numerical data or

observable facts resulting in informed conclusions

4. Teamwork - to include the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with

others to support a shared purpose or goal

5. Personal Responsibility - to include the ability to connect choices, actions, and consequences to

ethical decision-making

6. Social Responsibility - to include intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and

the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities

Attendance Policy: This is a VERY fast-paced, 5-week course. In order to be successful, students must attend and

participate in enrolled courses by logging in and working on the course materials and activities in eCampus

on a regular basis. As a minimum expectation, you should log-in to the course at least 5 separate

days each week, spending at least 30 hours every week working on this class. As a general

guideline, you should be actively learning and studying through working with the online LECTURE

materials and textbook for about 15-20 hours per week (the same as you would spend attending class plus

studying time outside class) PLUS 15-20 hours each week working on the LAB portion of the class

(reviewing the online lab materials, watching demonstration videos, completing experiments using the lab

kit, and completing the lab reports. In total, to be successful, a typical student should spend a MINIMUM of

25-30 hours EVERY week working on this class alone in order to pass the class. Students who

struggle with science or mathematics may need to devote much more than the minimum listed here.

Similarly, students hoping to do more than just pass (those hoping to earn an A or B) will likely need to

devote MORE than this minimum as well.

Regardless of type of assignment, all submissions are DUE by 10:00 p.m. on the due date, but will

be accepted until 11:59 p.m. with no late penalty applied. This 2-hour grace period is for unexpected

problems or delays. Plan to finish on time at 10:00 p.m., not 2 hours late! NOTICE that the due date and

time is listed in the last column of the schedule, to the right of the assignment—for both lab and lecture. The

lab practicals will be open to take on campus during the lab period. The lecture exams are available to take

on campus during the lecture period.

4

No assignments can be turned in LATE. There are NO MAKE-UPS for lab practicals or lecture exams,

unless you have a note from a doctor.

If unable to complete this course, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally---by Wednesday,

July 28.

"Academic dishonesty"

is understood as any act of deceit bearing on one’s own or another’s academic work, where "academic

work" is understood to mean any activity pertaining to the educational mission of the college. Such acts

include, but are not limited to, plagiarism in any form; the use during an exam of information or materials

not authorized by the instructor for such use and any other activities which are designed to deceive an

instructor in the evaluation of the level of the student’s achievement.

Academic Misconduct Regarding Exams & Lab Practicals:

Cheating on tests and lab practicals include, but is not limited to, the following activities: ● looking onto someone’s answer sheet, even if you do not use their answers,

● knowingly allowing someone to look onto your answer sheet,

● using a cheat sheet, or other unauthorized material

● talking to someone or otherwise exchanging information during an exam,

● asking someone what is on a lab practical or telling someone what is on a lab practical,

● waiting out in the hallway when people have just taken the exam to hear them discuss the lab exam.

● removing from lab any material meant to stay in lab, e.g., models, dissected organs, etc.,

● writing answers on the table

● writing answers on the question card

● going or looking into a lab where the lab practical is set up, and,

● getting the answer key before the test.

Students should not leave during an exam, quiz, or lab practical to use the bathroom. Go BEFORE

the exam. If you have a health problem which your instructor needs to know about, to enable you to leave

class to go to the restroom, please inform him/her at the beginning of the semester.

Any student violating any rule(s) above will get a ZERO on the lab practical exam.

Student Academic Progress Students are encouraged to discuss academic goals and degree completion with their instructors. Specific

advising is available throughout the semester from academic advisors and career specialists.
