BIOL 109: Human Anatomy and Physiology Section(s):CF1-CRN (92644) & CF2-CRN (94169)
Course Description and Prerequisites
1
: Human Anatomy and Physiology provides an overview of
human anatomy and physiology through the study of the structure and function of the human body.
In addition to introductory principals of chemistry and cell biology, the following organ systems are
examined: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, immune, circulatory, respiratory,
digestive, urinary and reproductive.

Note: This course is intended primarily for students preparing for allied health professional careers
including: Respiratory Therapist, Radiology Technician, Radiography (X-ray) technician, Massage
Therapist, EMT (certificate only) and Mental Health profession; it may be taken by students that
want to understand the human body for personal or career reasons. This course is not a substitute for
BIOL 110, 220 or 221 or a prerequisite for other science courses.

Prerequisites: ENGL 052, RDNG 052 and MATH 082

I. Basic Course Information
A. Instructor: Professor Adeola Adebowale-Orekoya
B. Office: Adjunct Office, Building D Room 200
Contact Information: aadebowal@ccbcmd.edu
C. Office Hours: Wed and Fri 1130-12:10
D. Department/School Phone Number: Biology Department; 443-840-2222
E. Class Times, Days, and Locations: Mon/Wed/Fri (lecture) 1220-115 pm and labs on Mondays
9-12 pm or 125-420 pm
F. Statement of Student Out-of-Class Work Expectations. These expectations are the minimal
requirements based on national standards and may not be decreased: in a standard 16
week semester, students are expected to spend 2 hours per week, per credit hour on work
outside of class. This is a four credit course taught in a 14-week semester, and so you are
expected to complete at least eight hours of work per week outside of the class including
reading, class preparation, homework, studying, etc. If this is an online section, an
additional four hours are required per week. Students: please note that these are minimal
requirements for any course, and that many students require more time than this for
science courses.
G. Materials:
Required: For laboratory courses, appropriate clothing (including shoes which cover the
tops of the feet and have good traction) is required. See Course Procedures for more
information:
Required Texts:
Visualizing A&P Binder Version w/Wileyplus Blackboard Access Code by Freudenrich
Exploring Anatomy and Physiology in the Lab 2
nd
edition by Amerman

Optional Supplies:
Get Ready for A&P by Garrett; Pearson Publishers
Chemical Splash Safety Goggles Must be worn for dissections. A limited number are
supplied by the department.
Laboratory coat
II. Course Goals Overall
A. Course Objectives
1
:
After completion of the course the student will be able to:
1. identify the major human body systems and their organs;
2. describe the organization of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ
and organ system level;
3. explain what homeostasis is and describe the role that the integumentary, muscular,
skeletal, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous and urinary systems play in
maintaining it;
4. explain how the nervous system and endocrine systems allow communication between
parts of the body;
5. integrate knowledge of the functioning integumentary, muscular, skeletal, endocrine,
cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems of the body in
order to explain how the body functions as a whole;
6. apply knowledge of the major nutritional needs of the body to how the digestive
system works;
7. discuss how the anatomy and physiology of the human body is similar in all racial and
cultural groups;
8. determine the impact that physiological and anatomical changes will have on the
human body; and
9. use instruments or other technology to measure physical parameters such as blood
pressure, heart rate, respiratory volumes and urine constituents.

C. Rationale: This course can be used to meet the General Education requirement of a four-credit course in the
science domain for general education. This course is intended for pre-allied health majors. This course is not a
substitute for BIOL 110, 220 or 221 or a prerequisite for other science courses.. This course does not satisfy the
Anatomy & Physiology pre-requisite for the Nursing Program.
III. Evaluation
A. Requirements
1

The lecture portion of this class is worth 60%.
Unit Exams: A student is responsible for mastery of all course objectives covered in class. Each Unit
Exam contains multiple choice questions, fill in the blank and 25% of the exam will be short
answer/essay questions.
Quizzes: Short quizzes will be given in class and will cover topics in the lecture material. These
quizzes can contain multiple choice, fill in the blank or short answer questions.
Writing Assignment: A short research paper will be assigned on a specific body system. The topic is
at the instructors discretion. As always, proper scientific sources must be used and given credit
using APA style citations.
Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given at the end of the course. This exam will have
100 multiple choice questions. All topics that were covered in the lecture portion and the team
disease discussion are potential sources for questions.

The lab grade is worth 40% of the total grade and will be based on 2 types of assignments:
Lab Practical: There will be 3 lab practicals. There are no make-up lab practicals for any reason. A
students absence from the lab practical will result in 0% earned for that practical.

Lab Notebook: Notebooks will be checked during every lab period to make sure that all of the
results are being recorded for the lab activities and that conclusion questions are being answered.
Only the top 10 grades will count.


B. Instructor's grading policy:
Unit Exams 3 at 100 points each = 300 pts
Comprehensive Final 1 at 200 points= 200 pts
Lecture Quizzes 5 at 10 points each 50 pts
Writing Assignment 1 at 50 points= 50 pts
Total points for Bio 109 Lecture 600 pts
Practicals
Lab quizzes
3 at 100 points each =
10 at 10 points each =
300 pts
100 pts
Total points for Bio 109 1000 pts
Letter Grades will be assigned on the basis of the percentage of total points earned. Please not that many
transfer programs require at least a C for credit.
100-90% A
89-80% B
79-70% C
69-60% D
< 60% F


C. Instructor's attendance policy: Students are expected to attend class regularly and must
arrive in class on time. Attendance will be taken daily. If you are unable to attend class,
please notify me as soon as possible via e-mail. Please note that attendance does not mean
only attending class, but being attentive in class as well. Experience has demonstrated that
students who attend class diligently achieve higher course grades
D. Instructors audit policy: Important notes: (1) you can no longer wait until mid-semester to
decide that auditing a course is appropriate: the final date to change to an audit now
coincides with the final date for withdrawing with a 50% refund, and (2) failure to
participate in the class as follows will result in a grade of W instead of AU. The deadline
for changing your grade to AU is Tuesday September 16, 2014.
IV. Course Procedures
A. Course-related policies and procedures (including course-specific links):
You must earn a passing grade (60%) in both portions of the course to pass the course as a
whole. That is, if you fail the lab, you also fail the course.
B. College wide syllabus policies: For college wide syllabus policies such as the Code of Conduct
related to Academic Integrity and Classroom Behavior or the Audit/ Withdrawal policy,
please go to the MySyllabiPolicies Tab on the MyCCBC page. Please pay particular
attention to the following sections of MySyllabiPolicies:
Attendance Policy
Code of Conduct for Academic Integrity
Grades AU
Grades -W The last day to withdraw for a full semester Fall 2014 course is Wednesday
November 5, 2014.
C. Contact information for course-related concerns: See endnote for contact information

.
D. Additional Procedures: No food or drink is allowed in any science lab at any time. Adequate
protective clothing is required in the Biology 109 laboratories. This includes closed-toed
shoes, pants or skirts covering at least to the knees, and short-sleeved shirts with no bare
midriffs (in other words, you must be covered shoulders to knees). If you prefer to
purchase a laboratory coat, you may do so at the bookstore. Failure to abide by laboratory
safety policies will result in removal of students from the class.
E. Course calendar/schedule: See the printed schedule appended to this document.



This syllabus may be changed with notification to the class.
