Associated Term: Spring Semester 2015
Levels: Continuing Learner, Graduate, Undergraduate Main Campus Campus Lecture Schedule Type Learning Objectives: CATALOG DESCRIPTION Part II is a continuation of the in-depth study of the human body initiated in BIO 103. Histological, anatomical and physiological aspects of the digestive, circulatory, cardiovascular, respiratory, excretory (urinary), endocrine and reproductive systems are explored. The basic concepts of metabolism are included. Human anatomy will be studied using human models and charts. Dissection of the above mentioned systems will be performed on the cat. Prerequisite: BIO 103 or permission of the Department Chair. Credit will not be awarded towards a major in Biology. BIO 105 may not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis. HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II - BIOLOGY 105 COURSE CONTENT BIO 105 is designed to introduce the student to the basic morphology and physiology of the human body. Detailed analysis will then be given to the various tissues and organs systems of the body. This analysis entails both a microscopic anatomical evaluation of tissues and a gross anatomical evaluation of the body form. Throughout the lecture and laboratory sessions, the anatomy and physiology of the digestive, circulatory, cardiovascular, respiratory, excretory (urinary), endocrine and reproductive systems are studied in sufficient detail to satisfy post-graduate requirements. The basic concepts of metabolism are also included. GOALS OF THE COURSE To provide the prospective clinically-oriented and basic medical science oriented student with the vocabulary necessary to formulate an understanding of the basic concepts of metabolism as well as the design and function of the following human systems: digestive, circulatory, cardiovascular, respiratory, excretory (urinary), endocrine and reproductive. To examine the wide variety of cellular functions and physiological processes that enable the human organism to maintain a balanced internal environment, or homeostasis. LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE INCLUDE AN UNDERSTANDING OF: The basic biochemical mechanisms of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the digestive system and their functional significance in the digestive process. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the respiratory system and their functional significance in inspiration and expiration, gas transport by the blood, and the regulation of the respiratory system. The components of the blood and their functions, including the ABO and Rh blood groups and the mechanisms of hemostasis. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the heart and their functional significance in maintaining homeostasis, the cardiac cycle, and the physiology of cardiac muscle contraction. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the cardiovascular system and their functional significance in hemodynamics and the control of blood pressure and blood circulation. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the lymphatic system and their functional significance in nonspecific resistance to disease and specific immunity. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the endocrine system and their functional significance in maintaining homeostasis. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the urinary (excretory) system and their functional significance in waste excretion and homeostatic regulation of blood volume and composition, blood pH, blood pressure, and metabolism. The major macroscopic and microscopic anatomical components of the male and female reproductive systems, their functions, and, if time permits, the principal events of the ovarian and uterine cycles.

If you miss an exam you have One week to make it up in ANOTHER lab section or you will receive a grade of ZERO. Lab Homework and Lab Reports ….......................20% of GRADE (counts as an exam) Each student must submit all assigned laboratory reports at the end of each lab and any assigned homework at the beginning of the next lab in order to receive the proper credits. Any lab report or homework assignment submitted late will be assessed a grade of zero. Each student is responsible for submitting the proper assignments in the event that they are absent from lab. Each student is responsible to make up any missed laboratory classes by attending the other lab section. Please notify me and the other lab instructor prior to attending the other lab section. PLEASE NOTE: YOUR FINAL BIO 105 COURSE GRADE THAT IS REPORTED TO THE REGISTRAR WILL CONSIST OF: 50% OF THE FINAL LECTURE GRADE ADDED TO 50% OF THE FINAL LABORATORY GRADE. PLEASE NOTE: EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS TO MAKE UP GRADE DEFICIENCIES AT THE END OF THE SESSION ARE NOT PERMITTED. GRADE RANGE OF SCORES A 94 to 100 A- 90 to 93 B+ 87 to 89 B 84 to 86 B- 80 to 83 C+ 77 to 79 C 74 to 76 C- 70 to 73 D+ 67 to 69 D 60 to 66 F Less than 60 ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance to lectures and laboratories is mandatory. Active participation in class discussions and laboratory exercises is vital to learning. PLEASE NOTE: Each UNEXCUSED absence causes credit to be deducted from the FINAL GRADE calculation. If any student accumulates TWO (2) UNEXCUSED absences from the lecture classes and TWO (2) UNEXCUSED absences from the laboratory sessions he or she will receive a FAILING grade. EXPECTATIONS AND GUIDELINES The lectures, discussions, and laboratory exercises adhere to the syllabus and the examinations and quizzes are based primarily (but not entirely) on the lecture notes which may include information not discussed in the textbook. In general, students who do not attend lecture and laboratory on a regular basis usually perform inadequately on the examinations. The lecture period also provides the student with an opportunity to have their questions answered. Therefore, attendance, participation, dissection, and homework are required and will be considered when computing the final grade. Please read the appropriate textbook chapter prior to the scheduled lecture class in order to enhance your understanding of the information presented. Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from a scheduled examination for ANY reason must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor at the beginning of the summer session, preferably in writing. No electronic devices of any kind can be accessed during the examinations. Please use the rest room PRIOR to attending any scheduled examination. Please turn all cell phones OFF prior to the beginning of the lecture classes and the laboratory sessions and refrain from reading the newspaper, conducting distracting conversations, doing work for this or other courses, and surfing the world wide web. In other words, please extend common courtesy to the instructor and your fellow students. Students not meeting the above expectations will be graded on the material submitted prior to the last day of class. A grade of INCOMPLETE will be considered only upon consultation with the instructor. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor in person or by e-mail for questions about the course content and their grades. Communication: The course Blackboard page (accessible through my.hofstra.edu) will be used to distribute announcements, test grades, quiz grades, syllabus and curriculum. Therefore, check it often! Communication via e-mail may also be utilized through the students’ official Hofstra account. If any student prefers to use another account it is their responsibility to arrange for forwarding. DISCLAIMER The instructor reserves the right to revise or amend these requirements and/or the grading criteria, as necessary. Late papers, projects, or assignments will NOT be accepted, and make-up exams will NOT be given, except at the sole discretion of the instructor. Only serious and documented medical or other emergency reasons and prior notification of the absence or delay will be accepted. RECORDING DEVICES The use of any recording or transmitting device is NOT permitted for the following reasons: A. Recording inhibits the free expression of the students and the professor. B. Recordings can be taken out of context. C. Instructional material is the property of the professor. D. New York State Law prohibits the recording of any performance (lecture) without the express consent of the owner of the material (professor).

SAUNDERS CO [ISBN #0-7216-3087-1] RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUCCESS If you need a particular letter grade for graduation or your major prepare to do the necessary work Regular attendance to the lectures and laboratory exercises is critical for success. In order to optimize the time you have in the laboratory, you are expected to read the laboratory assignment PRIOR to arriving to lab. This will assist you in focusing your learning efforts. Reading the lecture chapter prior to class will assist in understanding the lecture material and helps to focus your study efforts. Do not do all of your studying the night before an examination. By definition, Human Anatomy and Physiology requires that you develop memorization and vocabulary skills. If you procrastinate, there will be too much material to learn in one or two evenings. The best students study Human Anatomy and Physiology on a DAILY basis. Study frequently, in small amounts. 30 to 60 minutes of review each day will do wonders for most students’ grades. Some students may need more study time than this, but long marathon Human Anatomy and Physiology study sessions are often counter-productive. In regards to lecture, focus on the big picture! Try to organize material by systems, first look at the histology, and then ask yourself how these elements function in a system. Line item memorization will not work unless you attempt to organize each piece into a larger picture. Work with a partner or a small group. While this is not for everyone, this often helps to focus your studying efforts. It is essential that you work as a team in the laboratory. Drawing anatomical structures from scratch on a blank piece of paper is an excellent review. Students that can draw anatomical structures from memory usually have fewer problems with laboratory examinations. Try it! If you have difficulty with the course or your examination grades are not up to your expectations, get assistance and studying advice early in the semester from the instructor or from your fellow students. Please remember that I am available and willing to assist you. View Catalog Entry
