Description

Syllabus: Anatomy & Physiology (Lecture) Anatomy & Physiology-Lecture/ 5 credit units

Course ID: FPM-40535 Term: Summer 2019 Office Hours: By Appointment Only Section ID#: 141238

Instructor: Sari Metwalli, M.D., M.S Office: TBA Email: [email protected]

Course Description: This course covers the description of body systems and how they work, the normal anatomy and physiology of the human body, and common disorders and diseases. Anatomy and Physiology is essential for student success in the Allied Health Discipline. Clinical examples utilized in the course will assist students in learning that the disease process is a disruption of homeostasis and a breakdown of the normal integration of form and function, and that medical intervention may restore normal function. Health and wellness issues will be discussed to reinforce the basic concepts of human structure and function by applying them in practical ways to current problems in medicine, public health, athletics, fitness, and trends in research and technology.

Course Objectives: A. To develop a knowledge of fundamental principles of body structure at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system level of organization. B. To appreciate relationships between structure and function. C. To teach the use of precise terminology. D. To present the experimental method of observation and encourage critical thinking. E. To aid in the understanding of human problems and to contribute to general cultural knowledge.

Lecture Hours per Week: 6 Units: 5 units will be credited upon the successful completion of this course.

Advisories: Prerequisite: Recommended the completion of a one-semester collegelevel General Biology course with at least a “C” grade.

Course Outcome: Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Understand that physiology is an integrated subject. 2. Recognize that the systems must all function together for the human body to operate. 3. Describe the human body and its main constituents. 4. Explain the normal structure and functions of the human body. 5. Explain what takes place when disease or illness disrupts the normal processes. 6. Understand the three areas essential for normal body function: communication, intake of materials and elimination of waste, and protection and survival. 7. Understand the biochemistry and organization of the human body including its cells and tissues. 8. Understand the endocrine system & its hormones with their related diseases & disorders. 9. Describe the composition, types & function of hemopoietic tissue as well as ABO & Rh blood types. 10. Explain the anatomy, function, location of the cardiovascular system with emphasis on the conduction pathway & the regulation of heart rate. 11. Understand all types of blood vessels, the pathway of circulation, and the process regulating the blood pressure.

12. Understand the structure of the lymphatic system, its organs, antigen-antibody reaction and mechanism of immunity. 13. State the physiology, anatomy, and mechanism of respiration include the exchange and transport of gases. 14. Highlight the anatomy and major functions of the digestive system include; hormones, enzymes and mechanism of absorption of nutrients. 15. Describe how the body temperature regulated and explain the process of cell respiration & metabolism. 16. Explain the anatomy of urinary system, the process of urine formation include; glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and the hormones influence all those processes. 17.

Textbook: Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology , 8th Edition Author: Scanlon/Sanders-ISBN / ASIN: 9780803669376 Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology Workbook , 8th Edition Author: Scanlon/Sanders-ISBN / ASIN: 9780803669383

Workbook: Assignments from the workbook will be offered every class period. All assignments will be collected and graded. Midterm workbook assignments are worth 15 points and the final workbook assignments are also worth 15 points (that’s a total of 30 points). It is to your benefit to keep up with the assignments since the total points from these will be added into your cumulative grade total.

Exams: There will be two exams-a midterm & final. Each exam worth 100 points.

Final Grades: Final grades will be calculated with the following point distribution: Exams (Midterm & Final) 2 x 100 = 200 pts. Workbook Assignments 30 pts. (15pts midterm + 15pts final) Attendance 10 pts. TOTAL = 240 pts.

Attendance and Withdrawal Policy: Attendance and promptness are extremely important to your success. Exams are based on lecture material; student who do well in my classes have good attendance. For this reason, I will be taking attendance every day and will worth 10 points of your overall grades. In addition, if you accumulate more than 2 absences, you may be dropped from the course.

Classroom Behavior and Student Code of Conduct: Students are expected to respect and obey standards of student conduct while in class and on the campus. Charges of misconduct and disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students who violate these standards of conduct of provisions of college regulations. Cheating will not be tolerated. If you cheat, you will receive a grade of zero for that exam and may fail the course. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, plagiarizing assignments, copying during exams, and discussion during exams, etc.

Diversity: Learning to work with and value diversity is essential in every class. Students are expected to exhibit an appreciation for multinational and gender diversity in the classroom.

Civility: As a diverse community of learners, students must strive to work together in a setting of civility, tolerance, and respect for each other and for the instructor. Rules of classroom behavior (which apply to online as well as onsite courses) include but are not limited to the following:   

Conflicting opinions among members of a class are to be respected and responded to in a professional manner. Side conversations or other distracting behaviors are not to be engaged in during lectures, class discussions or presentations There are to be no offensive comments, language, or gestures

Students with Disabilities:

Any student with any disability should discuss with me during the first two weeks of class so we can make accommodations to enhance the learning process. I will do everything that I can to make the class workable.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME: Upon completing this course the student will be able to: 1. use appropriate vocabulary and terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy & physiology. Students will be able to demonstrate information literacy skills to access, evaluate, and use resources to stay current in the field of anatomy. 2. communicate clearly and in a way that reflects knowledge and understanding of the human body functions and demonstrates the ability to adapt information to different audiences and applications. 3. approach and examine issues related to anatomy & physiology from an evidence- based perspective.
