A.     Course Description:

 

Corequisite:  BSC 1085. This course is a laboratory study of the specific structure and function of the human body beginning with the cell and stressing the physical and chemical processes important in maintenance of homeostasis. The systems studied include integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous. 45 contact hours.

 

 

B.      Major Learning Outcomes:

 

         1.   The student will develop an understanding of the interrelationships of the structure of the human body and the specific functions of its cells, tissues, organs and systems important in movement and coordination.

 

         2.   The student will develop knowledge of the chemical principles that govern homeostasis.

 

 

C.     Course Objectives Stated in Performance Terms:

 

         1.   The student will develop an understanding of interrelationships of the structure of the human body and the specific functions of its cells, tissues, organs and systems important in movement and coordination by:

 

               a.   demonstrating knowledge of body organization and organs including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the regions and cavities of the body.

(2)     describing or recognizing the location of  a structure using the various planes and directional terms.

(3)     describing or recognizing the location, function and system of the major organs.

 

               b.   demonstrating knowledge of chemistry including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the major functional groups and examples of molecules in which they occur.

(2)     describing or recognizing the three types of bonds and give examples of molecules in which they occur.

(3)     describing or recognizing the difference between polar and non-polar molecules, what molecules they would dissolve and examples.

(4)     describing or recognizing examples of simple "building block" molecules (e.g., glucose monosaccharide) as well as the larger biomolecule classifications (e.g., carbohydrates).

 

               c.   demonstrating knowledge of cell structure and physiology including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing major cell structures and their functions.

(2)     describing or recognizing the difference between diffusion and osmosis, in contrast to active transport mechanisms.

(3)     describing or recognizing cell structures relevant to understanding mitotic division and the stages of a cell's life span.

(4)   describing or recognizing number and location of chromosomes throughout a human cell's life span.

 

d.    demonstrating knowledge of histology to include describing or recognizing microscopic anatomy, location and functional roles of  a broad selection of tissues within the four basic tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous).

 

e.     demonstrating knowledge of the integumentary system including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing general functions of the skin.

(2)     describing or recognizing gross and microscopic anatomy of the skin and accessory structures.

(3)     describing or recognizing roles of the specific tissue layers of the skin.

(4)     describing or recognizing roles of the accessory structures of the integument.

 

f.     demonstrating knowledge of the skeletal system including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the types, locations, structures and functions of cartilaginous and bone tissues.

(2)     understanding the process of endochondral and intramemraneous ossification.

(3)     describing or recognizing the internal and external structures of a long bone and their functions.

(4)     describing or recognizing the major bones and their associated contours.

(5)     describing or recognizing functions of bone contours.

(6)     describing or recognizing the functional and structural classifications of the major adult articulations.

(7)     describing or recognizing the movements of the diarthrotic joints.

 

g.     demonstrating knowledge of the muscular system including:

 

(1)     recognizing dense regular connective tissues and their locations.

(2)     describing or recognizing muscle tissue, its structures and their functions.

(3)     understanding the organization of a typical skeletal muscle.

(4)     describing or recognizing the major skeletal muscles, their actions and origin and insertions.

 

h.     demonstrating knowledge of the nervous system including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the histology of the nervous system and the function of each cell or tissue.

(2)     describing or recognizing the path of an action potential from a sensory neuron to the eventual effector whether it's a muscle or gland of reflex arc.

(3)     describing or recognizing the protective layers and fluids (Cerebrospinal fluid) of the CNS.

(4)     describing or recognizing the areas/structures of the brain and their function.

(5)     describing or recognizing the cranial nerves and their functions.

 

 

i.      demonstrating knowledge of the sensory system including:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the functions of the receptors.

(2)     describing or recognizing the structures of the specialized receptors including those that can be stimulated (receptor neurons) and those that help in gathering stimuli.

(3)     describing or recognizing the location and anatomy of the general receptors in the skin.

 

         2.   The student will develop knowledge of the chemical principles that govern homeostasis by

describing the chemical principles which govern homeostasis from information provided by instructor demonstrations, alternative technologies or experimentation with artificial body fluids.

 

 

D.     Criteria Performance Standard:

 

Upon completion of this course the student will, with a minimum 70 percent accuracy, demonstrate mastery of each of the above stated objectives through classroom measures developed by individual course instructors.
