COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course introduces students to the principles of human anatomy and physiology.

It covers the basic information necessary for a general understanding of the structures

of the human body and their functioning.  The relationship between structure and

function is emphasized.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the semester you are expected to be able to:

     * use and understand basic anatomical and physiologic terminology

     * identify anatomical structures using illustrations, position in the body, and morphology

     * explain basic biochemical processes occurring at the cellular level

     * describe the relationship between anatomical structure and function in the cell, in various

            organs, and within systems

    *  explain the concept of homeostasis and the mechanisms organ systems use to maintain homeostasis

    *  interpret diagrams and graphically represented material

    *  use a variety of learning techniques and demonstrate good study skills

    *  demonstrate critical thinking by applying knowledge to clinical situations

COURSE POLICY

Attendance is mandatory at all lectures.

You are expected to come to class having looked over the material to be discussed.

You are responsible for all the material presented in class, regardless of absence.

Quizzes cannot be made up.  The lowest quiz will be dropped.

Any student involved in cheating or plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of Students

       and may be suspended or expelled from CCRI.

Make up exams will be given only if there is a medical excuse.

Final exams are cumulative and  will not be given prior to the scheduled examination. 

If you have a disability and need accommodations, please come to see me sometime

     during the first week of class, so that I can be helpful from the very beginning.
