ANATOMY& PHYSIOLOGY II (BIOL 244 -- 4 Credit Hours)
Spring Semester 2015
Instructor:
Norris L. O’Dell, DMD, PhD
Office:
Room 111D -- norriso@usca.edu
Lecture Room:
Science Bldg. Room 327
Laboratory:
Science Bldg. Room 104
Textbook:
Human Anatomy, Marieb, Wilhelm & Mallatt,
9th Edition (Pearson)
Lab Manual:
HUMAN ANATOMY & Physiology LAB MANUAL with
Rat Dissections, E. N. Marieb & S. J. Mitchell (Pearson)
Lab Supplies:
For the anatomy labs you should wear either
eyeglasses orprotective safety glasses. You will also
need to purchase disposable surgical gloves since
you will be handling preserved specimens.
Caution: This course requires dissection of preserved
animals and organs (10% formalin or other
comparable preservative). If you are pregnant or think
you are pregnant, please consult your obstetrician as
he/she may not allow you to complete this laboratory;
therefore, you may need to take this course at a later
date. Also, exposure to formaldehyde has been linked
to cancer in rats, and formaldehyde interacts with
some contact lenses to produce an undesirable
reaction.
If you have a physical, psychological, and/or learning
disability which might affect your performance in this
class, please contact the Office of Disability Faculty
Responsibilities Services, 134 B&E, (803) 643-6816,
as soon as possible. The Disability Services Office
will determine appropriate accommodations based on
medical documentation.
Course Description:
A survey of human anatomical structure and
physiological function.
Course Objective:
This course is designed to introduce students to the
anatomy and physiology of the human body using a a
systemic approach to study specific organs and
organ systems of the body.
Course Content:
In this introductory course, lectures on human
anatomy and physiology will be combined with
laboratory exercises that employ simulated human
physiology exercises and the dissection of a rat
specimen.
Attendance Policy:
Attendance at lectures is expected and attendance
and participation in laboratory sessions are part of
your overall lab grade. Each unexcused absence
from lab will result in points being deducted from the
lab grade which counts 20% of the overall course
grade. Laboratory meetings will include a brief
instructional lecture, followed by laboratory exercises.
Laboratory grades will be based on participation in
group exercises, in-lab quizzes, completion of outside
homework assignments, and two laboratory practical
exams.
In order for the student to successfully complete
laboratory assignments, attendance is mandatory at
every session, and students should plan to stay for
the entire lab session. Absences will be reflected in
the points awarded for student participation. This also
applies if you come in late, leave early or do not
participate fully. The physiology laboratory exercises
involve computer simulations; therefore, you must be
able to log on to the USCA computer system, and you
must bring your lab manual and software to each
session. The written exercises in the lab manuals will
be checked for completion before you leave. Quizzes
on the previous week’s material will be given only
during the first 10 minutes of the lab session.
Quizzes cannot be made up in the event of absence
or late arrival. The instructor will not accept late
homework assignments.
By the end of this course, the student should be able
to describe the structure and function of the various
body systems covered in this course.

A Note about Anatomy and Physiology: I will not be able to cover
everything in your textbook in the lecture sessions. You will need to spend
time outside of the scheduled class time to study on your own. If you have
trouble understanding a concept, please come to see me.
The lab is available 24/7 so please use it. You can access the lab by using your
ID cards in the card-swipe on the outside doors and SBDG 104 door.
The Academic Success Center: Penland 108
If you find that your usual study habits are not sufficient for doing well in this
class please think about visiting this center. They are experts in helping students
discover the best way to study according to their learning styles. The web
address is http://www.usca.edu/academicsupport/.
The ASC also has supplemental instruction for anatomy and physiology so
please refer to their website for additional information regarding meeting
times and room number.

Additional Comments:
1. Read the assigned textbook and laboratory materials before class.
2. Bring laboratory manual & PhsioEX disk to each laboratory session.
3. Endorse the following Honor Pledge on every exam: “On my honor as a
University of South Carolina at Aiken student, I have neither given nor
received unauthorized aid on the assignment/examination. To the best
of my knowledge, I am not in violation of academic honesty.”
4. No make-up quizzes will be given for the laboratory quizzes and no make-up
examinations will be given for the lecture examinations except under some
extreme situations (see Student Handbook).
5. If you have any questions, problems or other concerns that I might be able to
help you with, then please see me directly or arrange to see me through Ms.
Cutsinger. I consider it a privilege to teach, and will try to help you in any way
that I can.
6. If you have a physical or learning disability that might affect your
performance, please contact the Office of Disability Services, 126A B&E,
(803)641-3609, as soon as possible. The Disability Services Office will
determine appropriate accommodations based on medical documentation.
7. We will use the machine-graded Scantron 100 question sheets for all of the
Lecture Examinations. Please be sure that you have the Scantron Sheets
and a #2 pencil on the day of each scheduled quiz/examination.
All other personal items will be left in front of the lecture room during
the exam. So, on the day of the exam, please enter the room and bring
all items except for a #2 pencil and your answer sheet to the front of the
room for temporary storage. Assigned seats will be utilized for the
exams.
8. There are no Extra Credit projects in this course.
9. Policy for Portable Electronic Devices:The use of any unauthorized
portable electronic devices, including cell phones, pagers, MP3 players,
iPods, etc., during class is not allowed unless required for the course. If you
are planning to have any of these devices in class, they must be turned off
and stowed away for the duration of the class period. If you use an
unauthorized portable electronic device during a test, quiz, or other
assessment, you will receive a failing grade on that assignment. Plan to be
out of touch and to have your cell phone stored out of sight during lecture and
lab time. This includes leaving the room to answer silent rings or using the
phone for text messages. If you are planning to have any of these devices in
class, they must be turned off and stowed away for the duration of the class
period. If you use a portable electronic device during a test, quiz, or other
assessment, will receive a failing grade on that assignment. Please note that
a laptop computer will be needed for some of the physiology laboratories; the
department does have some laptops available for students to use in class,
however, students are welcome to bring their laptops to class on the days of
these specific laboratories.
