COURSE TITLE:
COURSE CONTENT:
This is a laboratory course to accompany Biology 240: Lecture. Includes in-depth practical laboratory study of cell
physiology, microscopy, histology, human bone and bone-marking identification, basic dissection techniques, cat and
human musculature and nervous systems, sensory function tests and anatomy/physiology of the eye and ear.
Core Abilities
STUDENT OUTCOMES
Indicate the desirable results that can be expected to occur
from the course experience. These are usually
expressed in measurable and observable terms.
1. Review basic microscopy techniques including focusing, illumination, contrast,
measuring and review of parts of the microscope and other microscopy terminology. (All
assessments except J, K).
2. Perform a variety of cell physiology experiments; predict results of tonicity tests that
utilize erythrocytes and varying concentrations of saline solutions; describe the
differences between simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration. (All
assessments except J,K).
3. Using microscopic examination, draw animal cells in Interphase and undergoing four
phases of Mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase) and Cytokinesis.
Label all significant subcellular structures involved. (All assessments except J,K).
4. Draw and label the salient characteristics of the following Epithelial Tissues: simple
squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, non-keratinizing stratified squamous,
keratinizing stratified squamous (pigmented and non-pigmented), pseudostratified ciliated
columnar and transitional. (All assessments except J,K).
5. Draw and label the characteristic cell types and salient features of the following
Connective Tissues: areolar, reticular, elastic, irregular collagenous, dense collagenous,
adipose, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrous cartilage and osseus (bone). Must be
able to highlight the structural units (i.e. osteon) and all associated coverings where
appropriate (i.e. perichondrium, periosteum). (All assessments except J,K).
6. Draw and label the characteristic features of three types of Muscle Tissues: skeletal,
cardiac and smooth. Include the connective tissue “wrappings” associated with muscle
tissue organization. (All assessments except J,K).
7. Draw and label the characteristic features of a giant multipolar neuron and associated
neuroglia. (All assessments except J,K).
8. Identify and describe structures/functions of major bony landmarks of all bones in the
human skeleton. (All assessments).
9. Demonstrate skill in traditional dissection technique on the cat, moving from superficial
to deep; first reflecting the skin and hypodermis down to the deep fascia; then,
sequentially revealing deeper and deeper musculature. (All assessments).
10. Identify and describe functions of major muscles by both individual definition and by
functional group. (All assessments).
11. With a sheep’s brain, describe and identify the meninges, main parts of the brain
(cerebrum, diencephalon – thalamus/hypothalamus, brainstem – midbrain/pons/medulla
oblongata, and cerebrum), individual brain structures as specified, blood supply to the
brain (cerebral arterial circle) and cranial nerves. (All assessments).
12. Describe and demonstrate a stretch reflex arc and perform special sense physiology
tests such as visual acuity, “blind spot”, nystagmus, hearing, equilibrium, olfaction, taste
and cutaneous sensation. (All assessments except J,K).
13. Identify on models and with a cow’s eye the three tunics of an oculus and their
respective structures; describe the function of each structure. (All assessments).
14. Identify on models the three parts of the human ear and their respective structures;
describe the function of each structure. (All assessments).
