This course provides each student with a basic biological foundation in human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis is
placed on the interrelationships of organ systems and the integration of concepts from various areas of study. The course
includes both a mandatory laboratory and lecture. General biological science 1 and Anatomy 2A are official pre-
requisites. Although chemistry classes are not official prerequisites, they are highly recommended prior to taking
Anatomy 2B. Throughout this spring semester, our focus will be concentrated on complete mastery and integration of
our understanding of how the human body maintains systemic (fluid and electrolyte) balance through monitoring of the
various organ systems (nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive.)

By the end of the course, a successful student will be able to:
Discuss anatomical and physiological principles and relationships using appropriate terminology.
Properly use a compound microscope, do basic metric conversions, understand basic human biochemistry,
cell structure, function and transport processes.
Understand the structure of skin, its accessory components and the four primary tissue types that make it up
(epithelia, connective, muscle and nervous).
Discuss bone at an identity, chemical composition, microscopic and macroscopic, functional level as well as
the mechanisms of bone remodeling, growth, repair and disorder in the body.
Understand all aspects of each muscle type, muscle contraction, attachments and resulting actions.
Discuss structure, function and basic clinical disorders related to the eye, ear and special senses.
Integrate principles from different systems to evaluate clinical problems and physiology.

Required Texts:
E. N. Marieb, Human Anatomy and Physiology, 9
TH
ed. Textbook or Mastering A & P (Benjamin & Cummings)
R. Loomis et al. Anatomy and Physiology 2B: Laboratory Packet, 2nd ed. Lab Manual

Recommended Items: Laboratory Coat; (1) scientific calculator; (1) Flash drive (1 GB); multi-colored
pens/highlighters; 1 box surgical gloves; 5 x 8 cards

Grade: Your grade will be based on your overall percentage of the following point totals. Lecture grades and lab
grades will be weighted according to a 60% to 40% distribution respectively.
Lecture: 4 100- 125 point Lecture Exams: 450 pts.
1 200 point Cumulative Final: 200 pts.
Participation: 100 pts.
Lab: 4 100- 150 point Lab Practicums: 500 pts.
1 50 point Lab Practicum: 50 pts.
Quizzes (10 or more): 5 to 25 pts. each
Total Available Points: 1350 to 1400 pts.

Exams and Quizzes: EXAMS and QUIZZES CANNOT BE MADE UP. Lab exams in particular take several hours to set
up, so there are both practical and philosophical reasons for this policy. Exceptions may be made due to extreme circumstances
that are deemed by the instructor to be beyond the students control. A signed statement describing the nature of the
circumstances as well as substantiating documentation of the emergency may also be required at the discretion of the instructor.

Attendance: Attendance in both lecture and lab is a requirement and is mandatory. Attendance/ participation points will be
available at the beginning and end of each class meeting. You must be present to participate. Come to class on time. Tardiness
is disruptive to the entire class. Chronic latecomers may be dropped from the class.

Special needs: If you have a physical, psychiatric/emotional, medical, or learning disability that may impact your ability to
carry out the assigned course work, I urge you to contact the staff in Disabled Student Services (DSPS) at 222-8060 or 222-8061
(TDD), located in the Administration building, room 121. DSPS will review your concerns and determine, with you, what
accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.

Academic Honesty: You will be expected to adhere to RCC policies on academic honesty at all times. Anyone
caught cheating or plagiarizing on any work for this class will be issued a 0 for the assignment and the incident will
be immediately reported to the Dean of Instruction.
