Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat
Gilbert
Course Description:
This laboratory course accompanies Biol 250. It
includes an in-depth practical laboratory experience in the cardiovascular
system of the cat and human, human hematology, endocrine, urinalysis,
immunology, respiratory, digestive (including chemistry), and reproductive
systems.
Lab Objectives:
1.
Demonstrate proper dissection techniques of the cat. Be ableto identify
the major blood vessels and organs in the cat andhuman.
2.
Identify the major structures of the sheep and human heart.
3.
Demonstrate knowledge of basic hematology techniques toinclude analysis of
blood and cellular components, hemoglobin,hematocrit, WBC, ABO blood grouping
and Rh typing.
4.
Perform and interpret basic cardiovascular and respiratoryfunction tests.
5.
Perform and interpret a complete urinalysis.
the Urinary System.
Identify thestructures of
6.
Demonstrate an understanding of laboratory proceduressupporting concepts
in digestive physiology, metabolism,immunology and reproductive physiology.
7.
Be able to identify selected tissues under the microscope.
Attendance: You are expected to attend each session. Roll may be taken during
any class session through out the term. A person's ability to incorporate this
material is directly proportional to the amount of time spent in the lab.
Examinations:
There will be two non-comprehensive exams given during the
semester. Any and all material presented in lab will be included on each exam.
Each test will be worth 100 points.
In addition to the examinations, there will be at least four additional
assignments given out during lab. These assignments will be worth a minimum of
10 points each. Late lab assignments will not be accepted without prior
approval from the instructor.
Academic Dishonesty:
"Don't risk your future."
Any student
observed cheating will be asked to leave class with the grade of "zero" being
given for that exam. Further, all infractions will be dealt with according to
Pierce College policy.
