Anatomy 1 is an intensive lecture and laboratory course that includes the study of cells, tissues, and organs of the human body. The
lectures correspond closely with the laboratory experience providing the student various modalities to learn about the many organ
systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Use of the
microscope and dissection of a cat are highlights of this fascinating course.
Course Goals
(1)
To learn the language and fundamental concepts of basic human anatomy in order to be successful in future academic and/or
professional endeavors.
(2)
To grow as a student of science, by integrating lectures, discussions, laboratories, home-study, and small-group study into a
holistic approach to learning.
(3)
To work as a member of a laboratory team, taking responsibility for one’s own success, but learning to adapt, share, and learn
with others during laboratory meetings.
Student Learning Outcome
Anatomy 1 students will identify different structures of the human body.
Books
required:
Human Anatomy and Physiology, Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn, 7th Edition, 2007
Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab Manual, Cat Version, Marieb and Mitchell, 9th Edition, 2007

Additional Materials
Each lab table is encouraged to bring dissection equipment for their own use, as much of the college equipment that is available is old
and dull.
4 Scan-Tron (882-E) answer sheets will be required for Quizzes and Objective Examinations. Please bring them to me by 3/7.
Evaluation and Grading
1. Laboratory Review Sheets and Lab Participation (approximately 15 X 10 = approximately 150 points)
Students are required to complete and submit the Review Sheets (RS pages) in the back of the Lab Manual for all assigned laboratory
exercises. Review Sheets must be returned at the beginning of the next laboratory meeting that is scheduled. The Review Sheets for
each of the 15 laboratory meetings will be worth 10 points each. Do not underestimate the value of these points! Every semester
some students lose a whole grade because of absence, tardies, failure to participate or failure to hand-in Review Sheets
complete and on-time. Students are encouraged to work together to complete these review sheets, but simple copying is not
suggested as a valuable way to review the material. Late RS pages will be docked points (1 each day it is late).
3. Lecture Midterm Exams (3 X 100 = 300 points)
There will be 3 objective midterm exams as shown on the class schedule. Students with an acceptable excuse for missing the exam my
take a make-up at the time of the final.
4. Lab Practical Midterm Exams (2 X 50 = 100 points)
There will be 2 lab practical exams. The practical exams will involve the “hands-on” identification and understanding of material
presented in the laboratory exercises.
5. Final Lab Practical Exam (50 points)
It will cover all material from all laboratory exercises throughout the semester and the last two weeks of the course. No make-up
Final Lab Practical Exam will be given. Students should plan their schedule accordingly.
6. Final Lecture Exam (100 points)
One-half of the exam will be a midterm covering the final chapters and the other half will be cumulative representing the entire
course. No make-up Final Exam will be given. Students must plan their schedule accordingly.
