Course Description:
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed to provide in-depth examination of the structure
and functions of the human body. This course will apply the basic biochemistry and cell physiology covered
in BIOL 2001C. It also covers the structure and functions of Special Senses, Endocrine, Cardiovascular,
Immune (lymphatic), Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive Systems, and Fluid/electrolyte and
acid/base balance. Includes a required laboratory. Does not count toward biology major.
Course Goals and Objectives:
Upon completion of this course a student will be able to:
 Identify the gross and microscopic anatomic structures.
 Describe the physiologic functions of the organ-systems covered.
 Explain the regulation of those functions (applying knowledge of neural and endocrine controls).
 Assess the clinical significance of homeostatic imbalances.
 Identify the interrelationships between the organ systems at a level of detail suitable for students in
Nursing, Allied Health Professions, and related majors.
Methods of Reaching these Objectives:
Students need to prepare for class by reading the scheduled topics prior to class time. Before arriving for class,
they should have a basic understanding of the topics to be discussed and have formulated any questions that
might have arisen as they read about these topics. This will enable the students to participate meaningfully in
discussing the scheduled topics for that day.
Learning Outcomes:
After the conclusion of this course, students will be expected to:
1. Accurately define key terminologies.
2. Translate pertinent word stems.
3. Reproduce explanatory diagrams and illustrations.
4. Explain important concepts in their own words.
5. Describe and write about the functions of the organ-system covered.
6. Apply the different organ-system covered in clinical situation.
7. Engage learning in inquiry-based and case-based problems.
Required Texts and Other Materials:
1. Martini, Fredric H. Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, 9th Ed., Prentice Hall, 2011
2. Eroschenko, V.P. di Fiore’s Atlas of Human Histology 9th Ed. Williams & Wilkins, 1999
3. Gilbert, S.G. Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat. Rvsd University of Washington Press, 1991.
4. Fankhauser, David. Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual (available at UC Clermont College
Bookstore).
5. A bound 10 x 7.875 inch composition notebook with graph ruling and hard cover. All notes taken
during lab need to be entered directly into this notebook.
6. A pen, which writes with black waterproof ink.
7. A set of colored pencils and lead pencil.
Final Exam Period: April 19- 24, 2013 (Sat. to Thurs)
Grading:
The final grade for the course is a composite of all grades earned in lecture and laboratory. It is based on the
total number of points from: three tests (100 pt. each), three quizzes (30 pt. each), lab pop quizzes,
demonstrations and exercises (5- 10 points each), final exam (200 pt.), laboratory notebook (200 pt., turn in #1
for 50 pt., turn in # 2 for 50 pt., and turn in #3 for 100 pt.)), and all other student’s independent assignments,
case-based problems, research projects or course-related activities (150- 200 pt.). A 20 pt. penalty for each
lab absence will be deducted on lab notebook. Ten percent per class period will be deducted for any work
turned in late. Cheating will earned a falling grade. Grades will be awarded based on an A (94-100), A- (9093), B+ (87-89), B (84-86), B- (80-83), C+ (78-79), C (75-77), C- (70-74), D+ (68-69), D (66-67), D- (64-65),
F (63 and below) grading scale.
Exams and Quizzes:
There will be four tests worth 100 pt. each (lowest test will be discarded), four quizzes of 30 pt. each (lowest
quiz will be discarded), and lab. pop quizzes/demonstrations/exercises of 5 to 10 pt. each, and a final exam
worth 200 pts. Exam and quiz structure will require short answers, written essays, definitions or illustrations of
key concepts, translation of word derivations, labeling of anatomic structures, multiple choices, and matching
types. A histogram (curve) of exam (test) scores will be constructed and analyzed using statistical methods.
However, the dividing line between “B” and “C” will not be adjusted down below the 65% mark and the full
grade difference will not be more than 10. No make-up quizzes or exams will be available. Exams will cover
materials from each lecture and lab session, and grades will not be adjusted for any lectures or labs students
miss. In addition, once a student accepts an exam (test), (s)he must finish it during that class period. Students
will not be allowed to decide halfway through an exam that they are under a physicians care and cannot
complete the exam.
Lecture and Laboratory Session Attendance:
Lecture and lab session attendance is mandatory. Attending weddings, going on family vacations, having to
work, not having a babysitter, or alike are not valid excuses to miss a lecture or lab session. There is an
automatic 20 pt. penalty for any missed laboratory session and, because of limited availability of our
laboratory, lab sessions cannot be made up. Students missing more than 3 lab sessions will receive an
automatic F for the course. Students must be on time in coming to class! Tardiness will not be excused!
Lab Attire:
Please be aware that you will NOT be allowed to attend lab unless you are wearing long pants (leggings if
wearing a dress) and you have on shoes that cover the ENTIRE top of your feet and the heel. Shoes can
not have any holes in them. That means NO flip-flops, crocs, slippers, etc. Also be aware that we may be
using Bunsen burners almost every week. Plan on pulling back long hair. You may want to limit clothing that
is excessively loose or dangling. We will also be using permanent stains, so you may want to wear old clothing
during those labs.
Food and Drinks:
Eating and drinking in the labs are not allowed.
Withdrawals:
This course will adhere to the Standard University of Cincinnati Policy. Students will be able to withdraw
from classes on-line. The Web Registration site will remain active through the 58th day of the quarter – for
withdrawals only. When students submit their withdrawal, they will receive an automatic notification that the
withdrawal was submitted. They will also receive a follow-up e-mail notifying them. Faculty will also receive
an e-mail notifying them of the web withdrawal. Faculty can still change the “W” to an “F” if that is a more
appropriate grade, when they do their final grades. Last day to withdraw (drop) in a timely manner is
March 14, 2013 (58th calendar day). This is the grade replacement deadline as well.
Academic Integrity Policy:
The University Rules, including the Student Code of Conduct will be enforced. Any violation of these regulations,
including acts of plagiarism or cheating, will be dealt with on an individual basis according to the severity of the
misconduct
Plagiarism:
1. Submitting another’s published or unpublished work, in whole, in part, or in paraphrase, as one's own
without fully and properly crediting the author with footnotes, citations or bibliographical reference.
2. Submitting as one's own, original work, material obtained from an individual, agency, or the internet
without reference to the person, agency or webpage as the source of the material.
3. Submitting as one's own, original work, material that has been produced through unacknowledged
collaboration with others without release in writing from collaborators.

help at no cost from the College Success Program if they test into two or more classes that are below college
level in math, English or reading. Students work with an Achievement Coach, Linsey Koeritz, to receive
academic support, encouragement, and referrals to on- and off-campus resources. For more information call
513-732-5279.
Visitors:
I realize that some students may have problems arranging for childcare. However, University of Cincinnati
Clermont College does not allow children to be left unattended. In addition, the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, and the University of Cincinnati
Environmental Health & Safety Department prohibit the presence of minors in science laboratories for safety
reasons, unless minors are enrolled as students in laboratory courses taught in those rooms.
Electronic Gadgets:
All cell phones are to be turned off (put inside your bag/backpack) before entering the lecture or lab room
since they distract instructor and students. Also answering phone calls or text messaging during classes
(lecture or lab) is not permitted. There are no exceptions.
Contact by Phone or E-Mail:
Students are encouraged to contact the professor by phone or email to have important questions answered.
However, any contact must occur in a professional and courteous manner. E-mails are expected to contain a
formal address and the body of the message must be written in grammatically correct English.
Acknowledgement:
I gratefully acknowledge the use of Dr. David Fankhauser’s laboratory manual (lab illustrations and protocols).
