Examination of the human body in which structure and function are integrated; the major organ systems (circulation,
respiration, digestion); microscopic anatomy and biochemical aspects of physiology.
PREREQUISITES:
Open to College of Nursing students. Also open to NCAS students who have completed 21:120:101-102 with a grade of C or
better. May not be used for credit toward the biology or zoology major.

The required text for this course is Seeleys Anatomy and Physiology, 9 edition, by VanPutte, Regan, and Russo. (ISBN-13
9780077350031). The required laboratory manual is Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Textbook, Intermediate Cat
th
Version, 5 edition by Benson, Gunstream, Talaro, and Talaro (ISBN-13 9780697342317). Both books are available for

LEARNING OBJECTIVES/GOALS:
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the overall organization of the body and use the correct directional terms to locate body regions and
structures.
2. Discuss the chemical, cell, tissue, organ, and system levels of organization and their relationships to each other.
3. Identify the components of the integumentary system and describe how they support and protect internal structures.
4. Describe the formation and structure of bone, the different bone shapes, and how bone protects and supports body
movement through interactions with skeletal muscles.
5. Discuss the molecular structure of muscle and how muscle activity is regulated. Identify and indicate the location of
muscles, and describe how origin and insertion of a muscle define its movement.
6. Describe how the nervous system integrates and regulates the activity of other systems.

The final course grade is based on a total of 600 points, with 420 points derived from the lecture section and 180 points
from the laboratory section. For the lecture section, there will be four (4) lecture exams, each worth 100 points, for a total
of 400 points. Homework assignments will also be given during the semester that will total 20 points. For the laboratory
section, the 180 points are based on three (3) lab exams, each worth 30 points for a total of 90 points, and nine (9) weekly
labs, each worth 10 points for a total of 90 points. Weekly lab points are further broken down into participation (5 points),
and lab reports (5 points).
The assignment of the final grade will be determined based on the following point distribution:
540 600 points
A
480 - 539
B
420 - 479
C
360 419
D
Due to the importance of lab in learning and retaining the information, attendance is crucial. Therefore, 3 unexcused lab
absences will result in the grade of zero (0) points out of 180 laboratory points for the lab section of the course.
Extra credit assignments will not be given in this class.
Academic Dishonesty: The course has a zero tolerance policy for academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating.
Instances of dishonesty will be punished by a zero on the assignment and consultation with the Academic Integrity Officers
to determine if further action is required. If you have any questions about what constitutes plagiarism or cheating, please
