COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is the first of two courses providing an intensive study of human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis is placed on
the manner in which systems interact to maintain homeostasis. The study includes general chemistry principles,
biochemistry, cells and tissues. The structure and function of the following systems will be covered: Integumentary,
Skeletal, Muscular, and Nervous. Laboratory exercises will include dissections, computer labs, models, and
experimentation.
PRE-REQUISITES AND CO-REQUISITES:
Recommended: BIO 100 or BIO 101, Eng.101
REQUIRED MATERIAL FOR LECTURE:
Human Anatomy and Physiology, Marieb, 7th Edition
Student Responsibilities for BIO210 Lab, Science Department Code of Conduct, and Course Grade Calculation Sheet are
available at www.midlandstech.edu/science
REQUIRED MATERIAL FOR LAB:
Anatomy & Physiology I & II Laboratory Guide, Porter & Borg, 5th Edition, MTC
A Photographic Atlas for the Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory, Van De Graaff, 5th Edition, 2003, Morton
OPTIONAL MATERIAL:
Lecture notes or other material designated by the instructor are optional.
Photographic Atlas of Histology, Leboffe, 1st Edition, 2003
Atlas of the Skeleton Muscles, Stone, 4th Edition, McGraw Hill
Mammalian Anatomy: The Cat, Sebastiani & Fishbeck, Morton Pub.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students will be allowed to miss twice the number of times a lecture or laboratory section meets per week.
If the lecture meets 3 times per week, 6 absences are allowed.
If the lecture or laboratory meets 2 times per week, 4 absences are allowed.
If the laboratory meets once a week, 2 absences are allowed.
If the student misses more than 10 minutes of class by either arriving late or leaving early, then the student will be
counted as absent. If a student misses fewer than 10 minutes, then the student is counted tardy. Three tardies count
as one absence. When a student exceeds the maximum allowable absences, a grade of "W" will be assigned if the
student is passing the course or "WF" if the student is failing after midterm.
ASSIGNMENTS, TESTS AND MISSED TESTS:
Students who are absent from a class are responsible for all work done during that class period and for all assignments
made during the missed class period. Students adding courses after classes begin are responsible for work covered from
the first day of classes. All classes missed are counted as absences. All students will take the cumulative lecture final
which cannot be dropped or exempted. In addition to counting as a 5th exam grade, it may replace a missed lecture
exam if approved by the instructor. Follow the guidelines of the instructor regarding missed tests. The final lab quiz is
optional. It will replace a grade of zero for one missed lab quiz or replace the lowest quiz grade if all 5 quizzes were
taken. If the final is the lowest grade it will be dropped. If more than one lab quiz is missed a grade of zero will be
given for the missed quiz. A grade of “0” will be given involving academic dishonesty (see the Science Department Code
of Conduct at science website).
DISABILITIES:
Students with disabilities requiring in-class accommodations should call the Counseling/Disabilities
Resource Center at 738-7637 (Beltline) and 822-3505 (Airport).
