COURSE DESCRIPTION
A survey of the integumentary, skeletal (including articulations), muscular and
nervous systems, as well as basic biological chemistry and the organization and
function of the tissues of the human body.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to demonstrate
knowledge—by successfully answering questions on an objective
examination—of the following topics: Introduction and history of anatomy,
the chemical basis of life, the structure and function of the cell, histology (the
study of tissues), the integumentary system, the skeletal system (bones and
bone tissue, including axial and appendicular skeleton, articulations and
movement), the muscular system (histology, physiology and gross anatomy of
the muscles of the face, head and neck, upper limbs, torso, pelvis and lower
limbs), and the nervous System (histology, physiology and gross anatomy of
brain, spinal cord and associated nerves).
COURSE CALENDAR
Pay close attention to the ―Student Assessment‖ column, as it lists all exams and graded assignments with due

EXAM POLICY
Quizzes 1-8 must be completed by the Midterm Exam. Quizzes 9-14 must be completed by the Final Exam.
Each exam will take up one whole class meeting. All exams will be closed book/notes. The use of electronic
devices is strictly prohibited during exams.
Makeup exams may be offered to students with emergencies, but only if they can provide acceptable
documentation of the emergency (e.g., hospital admit slip, etc.). The instructor reserves the right to change the
format of any makeup exams (e.g., to essay questions).
The final exam cannot be made up for any reason.
Students are expected to familiarize themselves with FKCC Policies which can be found in the student handbook.
PARTICIPATION
Students earn points for each class they attend and participate in. Arriving late, leaving early, cell phone and nonclass computer usage, as well as any other disruption of class will result in loss of points.
Unexcused absences will result in a loss of participation points; excused absences (i.e., those with acceptable
documentation of an emergency) will not result in point loss.
Please note that the instructor may withdraw a student from a course for excessive absences (see FKCC Policies
below). For our purposes, ―excessive absences‖ is defined as 3 or more unexcused absences.
