Materials
Required textbook $163.95:
Human Anatomy (2011 6th Ed.) by Marieb et al.

Students are responsible for all chapter readings for the midterm and final exams Textbook website: www.myaandp.com Required lab textbook $38.25:
Mammalian Anatomy: The Cat (2nd Ed.) by Sebastiani & Fishbeck.

Learning Evaluation
Midterm exam Fri. Feb 11/11 Lab component Final exam worth 20% 6:30-8:00pm - locations TBA worth 30%

worth 50%

Cumulative, during the final exam period (Apr. 8-21) You have to get at least 45% on the final exam to pass the course If your final exam mark is lower then 45%, your final exam mark will be recorded as your final mark. All exams are multiple choice format

Learning Evaluation
Student travel plans not considered acceptable grounds for granting an alternative exam time Students must present their WATCARD at each exam sitting Failure to write an exam is considered a failure to pass. A student who defaults a final exam, except for a properly certified reason, shall have no make-up exam privileges and must repeat the work in class.

Learning Evaluation
If a student fails to write for health reasons, a Doctor's certificate, covering the precise period of absence, must be filed at the Science Undergrad office within one week after the exam should have been written. [notify me the day the exam is written applies to midterms & final] - marks for missed midterm will transfer to the final. If you do not file your VIF within one week a grade of 0 (zero) will be recorded for the missed exam. If you do not write the final exam due to medical circumstances you will have the opportunity to write a make-up exam the next time Biol 301 is offered (April 2012)

Unit #1 Introduction to Anatomy

Introduction
What is Anatomy? Study of structure a living organism & its component parts Understanding anatomy requires a large vocabulary of new terms
Learning anatomy is similar to learning a new language Anatomy is closely related to physiology (study of the function of a living organism)

Branches of Anatomy
The broad field of anatomy can be divided into branches:
Gross anatomy (regional & systemic) Microscopic anatomy (histology) Other branches (developmental anatomy & embryology, pathological anatomy, radiographic anatomy, functional morphology)

Levels of Organization
A. Chemical atoms & molecules B. Cellular e.g. neuron, lymphocyte C. Tissue collection of cells (e.g. connective)

Fig. 1.1

Levels of Organization
D. Organ structural unit made of tissues (e.g. heart) E. Organ system integrated group of organs F. Organism individual form of life

Fig. 1.1

Intro to Gross Anatomy

The anatomical position is the common visual reference point Specific areas of the body are grouped into regional terms
Axial region head, neck & trunk Appendicular region appendages/extremities

Body Planes & Sections

The body is often cut along a flat surface known as a plane
Frontal (coronal) plane Transverse (horizontal) plane Sagittal planes

Fig. 1.4

Body Cavities & Membranes

Dorsal body cavity
Subdivided into: a. Cranial cavity lies in the skull and encases Dorsal body cavity the brain b. Vertebral cavity runs down the vertebral column and encloses the spinal cord
Vertebral cavity (contains spinal cord) Cranial cavity (contains brain

Fig. 1.6

Body Cavities & Membranes

Ventral body cavity
Contains visceral organs or viscera Two main divisions (separated by the diaphragm): a. Thoracic cavity surrounded by ribs and muscles of chest b. Abdominopelvic cavity surrounded by abdominal walls and pelvic girdle
Thoracic cavity (contains heart and lungs)

Fig. 1.6

Diaphragm Abdominal cavity (contains digestive viscera) Pelvic cavity (contains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum)

Cranial cavity
