COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Human physiology provides the scientific foundation for the field of medicine and all other professions related to human health and physiological performance. The course covers the function of human organ systems including, but not limited to, cell and molecular properties, maintenance systems, communication and control systems, and integration of activities with an emphasis on human homeostasis.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The course is designed to introduce physiological concepts to students with majors in nursing, pre-med, pre-dent, pre-vet, prepharmacy and allied health.

Learn and understand the physiological mechanisms by which the body’s organ systems work to maintain homeostasis.

Develop and enhance critical thinking skills through practical laboratory experience and group problem solving.

Learn and improve communication skills by learning vocabulary, group discussions, and written reports.

List and learn to access the primary source materials necessary for scientific progress in the health sciences.
TEACHING METHODS:
The students will benefit in understanding by reading the assigned material prior to class or lab time. Blackboard will have additional materials that will be useful and should be printed out. Lecture consists of PowerPoint presentations and class discussions.
The students prepare, perform, analyze, and report the laboratory results in writing by the end of each session.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES:
Students earn points in this course and their grades are calculated at semesters end on the following scale:
A = 90 to 100%, B = 80 to 89%, C = 70 to 79%, D = 60 to 69%, F = < 60%
The course points are divided into:
Lecture exams 4 x 100 points each =
Lab assignments =
Daily problems or quizzes
Lab homework PhysioEX
400 points
240 points
260 points
100 points
Total points available 1000 points
Note the points may change during the semester and the total points are at the discretion of your instructor. Exams consist of multiple choice questions (bring a blue scantron on test days), short answer, fill in the blank, and essay questions. Students may also have take-home essay questions or assignments.
ATTENDANCE:
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
MAKE-UP WORK:

Class attendance will be recorded daily. If you miss a lecture, for any reason, you are responsible for obtaining the lecture notes from a fellow classmate (not your instructor). If you are late to class, you will be counted late (see classroom conduct).
Make-up exams will not be given. Instead, should you miss an exam for an acceptable reason (bring documentation), your percentage score on the exams taken will averaged and can be substituted for the missed score. If you miss a second exam, you will receive a grade of “zero”. It is mandatory that you take the final exam, when scheduled, to pass this course.
Quizzes cannot be made up. If you are absent, you will receive a grade of “zero” for the exercise.
There are no make-up laboratory exercises. If you are absent, you will receive a grade of “zero” for the exercises planned that day. It is the policy of the Science Division that a student cannot submit
work for labs that the student did not attend. Even if you can answer some of the questions from the lab, you cannot receive credit unless you attended that lab.
The laboratory assignments are due before you leave the laboratory unless otherwise noted.
Points will be subtracted for late laboratory assignments. Laboratory assignments will not be accepted once the graded assignments have been returned; you will receive a grade of “zero”.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student .
COMMUNICATIONS:

Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
Page 3

 Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
 Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
 Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
 withdraw the student from the class;
Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website
