A.     Course Description:

 

Corequisite:  BSC 1086. 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 lymphatic, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, urinary, and reproductive. 45 contact hours.

 

B.      Major Learning Outcomes:

 

         1.   The student will develop an understanding of interrelationships between cells, tissues, and organs by studying models, photomicrographs and with the microscope.

 

         2.   The student will apply knowledge of the principles of chemistry and the relationships to homeostasis.

 

C.     Course Objectives Stated in Performance Terms:

 

1.      The student will develop an understanding of interrelationships between cells, tissues, and organs by studying models, photomicrographs and with the microscope by:

  

               a.   demonstrating knowledge of the reproductive system to include:

 

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

(2)     describing or recognizing the processes of gametogenesis and cell types in the processes.

(3)     describing or recognizing reproductive hormone production sites, action sites and their actions.

 

               b.   demonstrating knowledge of development and genetics to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing processes of embryology.

(2)     describing or recognizing the stages of embryonic development, relevant structures and major events occurring at each stage.

(3)     describing or recognizing Punnett Squares analyses and predicting the outcome of:  simple dominant-recessive crosses for one gene pair;co-dominant crosses with two gene pairs (ABO blood type); sex-linked disorder inheritance; and sex determination.

 

              

               c.   demonstrating knowledge of the endocrine system to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the major organs, their structures and functions in the endocrine system.

(2)     describing or recognizing the major disorders due to abnormal secretion rates.

(3)     describing or recognizing the production sites, action sites and actions of major hormones.

 

               d.   demonstrating knowledge of the cardiovascular system to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the major organs and their functions of the cardiovascular system.

(2)     describing or recognizing the structures of the vessels and be able to distinguish them.

(3)     describing or recognizing the structures, functions and locations of smooth and cardiac muscle tissue.

(4)     describing or recognizing the chambers, valves and circulatory vessels associated with the heart.

(5)     describing or recognizing the direction of blood flow within the heart and be able to correlate blood flow with oxygen content.

(6)     describing or recognizing structures of heart conduction system.

(7)     describing or recognizing electrical events to systole and diastole of ventricles.

(8)     describing or recognizing appearances of abnormalities of cardiac cycle.

(9)     describing or recognizing the major cardiovascular routes and the tissues which they service.

 

               e.   demonstrating knowledge of the lymphatic  system to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the lymphatic organs and their functions.

(2)     describing or recognizing the histology of lymph nodes.

 

               f.    demonstrating knowledge of the respiratory system to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the major organs and their functions in the respiratory system.

(2)     describing or recognizing the structures through which gases must pass and where the gases are exchanged.

(3)     describing or recognizing the changes in histology and the function of each tissue type.

(4)     describing or recognizing respiratory volumes and factors that control them.

 

               g.   demonstrating knowledge of the digestive system to include:

 

(1)     describing or recognizing the digestive organs as well as their structures, functions and secretions.

(2)     describing or recognizing the histological structures and their functions of the GI tract and the accessory organs, including muscular movements.

(3)     describing or recognizing what enzymes hydrolyze, where the digestion occurs and where the enzyme is made.

(4)     describing or recognizing the hormones that control digestion.

(5)     describing or recognizing the function of water, stomach acid (HCl), bicarbonate ions, and bile salts in digestion.

 

               h.   demonstrating knowledge of the urinary system to include:

 

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

(2)     describing or recognizing the structures and functions of various portions of the nephron.

(3)     describing or recognizing the structures through which urine must pass and their histology.

(4)     describing or recognizing some simple procedures to analyze urine, common disorders and their causes.

 

         2.   The student will apply knowledge of the principles of chemistry and the relationships to homeostasis by applying the principles of chemistry to the normal maintenance of homeostasis from information provided by instructor demonstrations, alternative technologies or experimentation with artificial body fluids.

 

 

D.     Criteria Performance Standard:

 

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