Course Number: HLTH 3223 CRN#10361
Textbook: Saladin, Kenneth, Human Anatomy Second edition, McGraw-Hill Publishers, 2007.
Course Credits: 3 Hours
Course Description: A study of osteology, skeletal structure, myology, and the organic
processes which affect and/or are affected by movement.
Conceptual Framework: This course contributes to the student’s development of becoming a
reflective, responsive, resourceful professional. Specifically, the course will provide a foundation
that will be applicable to many other classes related to their degree and future. This foundation
will include diverse populations and cover a vast range of activities.
General Objectives: To study the structure of the human body with an emphasis on the skeletal
and muscular systems; to develop an understanding of anatomical terms; to understand the
structure of points of articulation; to learn the origin and insertion of major muscle groups and
how this affects movement. Finally, each student will gain a basic understanding of the nervous
and digestive systems.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course the student should be able to:
- To acquire knowledge of the structures of bone, skeletal muscle, and connective
tissues.
- To demonstrate knowledge of the following muscle action terms: inferior, superior,
medial, lateral, supination, pronation, flexion, extension, adduction, abduction,
hyperextension, rotation, circumduction, agonist, antagonist, and stabilizer.
- To gain the ability to identify the major muscles. Major muscles include, but are not
limited to, the following: trapezius, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, biceps, triceps,
rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, erector spinae, gluteus maximus,
quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, abductors, and gastrocnemius.
- To demonstrate an understanding of scientific and anatomical terms and the ability to
use proper terminology in describing and discussing the human body. Assessment by
unit tests, class activities, quizzes.
- To be able to assess the plane(s) in which movements occur and the responsible
muscles involved.
- To demonstrate knowledge of the structure and basic function of those systems of the
body directly involved in human movement. Assessment by unit tests, class
activities, quizzes.

-
To give evidence of understanding and knowledge of the growth and development of
the musculoskeletal system. Assessment by unit tests, class activities, quizzes.
To gain the ability to identify the major bones. Major bones include, but are not
limited to the clavicle, scapula, strernum, humerus, carpals, ulna, radius, femur, fibia,
tibia, and tarsals.
To have knowledge of the primary action and joint range of motion for each major
muscle group.
To demonstrate the ability to identify the joints of the body.
To demonstrate knowledge of joint structure and basic function and to be able to
describe movement using scientific terms. Assessment by unit tests, class activities,
quizzes.
To acquire knowledge of the curvatures of the spine including lordosis, scoliosis, and
kyphosis.
To demonstrate knowledge of the names of the primary movers of the major joints of
the body. Assessment by unit tests, class activities, quizzes.
Demonstrate knowledge of the origins and insertions of major muscles of the human
body.
To acquire knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system
and pulmonary system.
Demonstrate a basic understanding of the major components of the digestive system.
Demonstrate a basic understanding of the major components of the nervous system.
Fatal Error Policy
All written assignments must meet minimal presentation standards to be acceptable.
These standards address spelling, punctuation, format and basic grammar. The term Fatal
Errors refers to technical American English errors of form. Specifically, they include the
following:
a) Each different word misspelled;
b) Each sentence fragment;
c) Each run-on sentence or comma splice;
d) Each mistake in capitalization;
e) Each serious error in punctuation that obscures meaning;
f) Each error in verb tense or subject/verb agreement;
g) Lack of conformity with assignment format; and,
h) Each improper citation, or lack of citation, where one is needed.
Papers with more than three (3) fatal errors marked by an instructor on any one page, or
more than 12 non-repeated errors for the entire document will be returned to the student
and subject to 20% off the grade immediately and may be subject to 10% off for each day
until the paper is returned corrected.
Instructors will determine the number of resubmissions allowed for each assignment.
Final course papers (where there is no time for a resubmission) will be docked one
percent of the grade for each error including one percent off for each repeated error.
Turnitin.com Plagiarism Syllabus Statement
UCO subscribes to the Turnitin.com plagiarism prevention service. Students agree that by taking
this course, all required assignments may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to
Turnitin.com for the detection of plagiarism. All submitted assignments will be included as source
documents in the Turnitin.com restricted access reference database for the purpose of detecting
plagiarism of such assignments. Use of the Turnitin.com service is subject to the Terms and
Conditions of Use posted on the Turnitin.com website. Turnitin.com is just one of various
plagiarism prevention tools and methods which may be utilized by your faculty instructor during
the term of the semester. In the UCO Student Handbook, there is a process for contesting any
plagiarism allegations against you.
The College of Education and Professional Studies and the Department of Kinesiology
and Health Studies are committed to helping students learn by providing a range of
transformative learning experiences in discipline knowledge and in the five core areas:
leadership; research, creative and scholarly activities; service learning and civic
engagement; global and cultural competencies; and health and wellness.
Course Assessment: There will be a total of 5 topic specific tests and 1 cumulative final:
Test 1 - Bone development and axial skeleton 55 pts
Test 2 - Appendicular Skeleton and joints; 65 pts
Test 3 - Axial musculature; with actions; 40 pts
Test 4 - Appendicular musculature upper body with actions, origins, insertions; 47 pts
Test 5 – Appendicular musculature lower body with actions, origins, insertions; 46 pts
Test 6 - cumulative final; 148 points
Quiz 1 – 20 points - tissue, planes, osteon, bone cells, bone formation
Quiz 2 – 9 point – spinal nerves
Quiz 3 – 15 points – Joints, bones of the hands and feet
Quiz 4 – 20 points – cardiovascular system
.
Grading: 90-100% = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; and 59% and lower = F
Student requirements: Students need to take a test on the assigned test day. If you miss a test or
quiz, it is up to the discretion of the instructor as to whether or not the test is made-up. ALL
APPROVED MAKE-UP TESTS AND QUIZZES WILL BE TAKEN DURING THE FINAL.
The instructor should be informed before the test day that a student will be absent for the test afterwhich, a decision can be made. An assignment needs to be turned-in on time in order to receive full
credit. An assignment can be turned in one class period late for a maximum grade of 75%.
Attendance: Each student is allotted 5 absences. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the
instructor when they come in late. There are no excused absences so use your absences wisely.
