Catalog description: Prerequisite: BIOL 2644 with a C or better. This course will be concerned with the
integration of the histology, gross anatomy and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and
metabolic, urinary, and reproductive systems of the human organism. Use will be made of the case-study
method to achieve the desired understanding and integration of physiologic principles. The laboratory portion of
the course will include use of human cadavers to study anatomy of the systems indicated above. AAS: Life

Relationship to academic programs and transferability
BIOL 2654 was designed to meet specific student needs either individually or within a program and is designed
to transfer to other colleges and universities. KCC participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a
statewide transfer agreement for general education courses. All colleges and universities participating in the IAI
agree to accept a collective “package” of IAI general education courses; transfer of courses separately is not
guaranteed. For more information about IAI, go to their website at www.itransfer.org and IAI. For the
transferability of courses to specific four-year institutions, go to u.select.

General Education Goals and Objectives
The general education program at KCC is designed to enable students to acquire communication and reasoning
skills at a level reflecting college-level learning. Students who complete the general education program will be
able to examine complex topics and apply systematic processes to form conclusions. The specific general
education objectives addressed in this course are:
Communication: Students will communicate with precision, clarity, fluency, accuracy, and coherence through
their reading, writing, and verbal communications.
Inquiry and Analysis: Students will examine complex topics and apply systematic processes resulting in
formed conclusions.

Course Policies
Attending class everyday is vital to successful learning; however, I do not take roll. If you miss class
you will be at a severe disadvantage. If you miss on a quiz day, you will have five school days to make
up the quiz. No more than one lecture quiz may be made up without the instructor’s approval. If you
know you will be missing on a quiz day, you may arrange to take the quiz early. If you arrive to class
after an exam has already started you will not be allowed to begin the exam and will have to take
the make-up. All make-up quizzes are essay format and are conducted in my office or the testing
center. Lab quizzes cannot be made up, so don’t miss them. Attendance during lab periods is critical
to learning. If you miss on a lab day when a report is due, you cannot turn in the lab report late. This
will result in a loss of all points for that lab report.
Instructional Philosophy
There is no substitute for a complete and thoughtful reading of the assigned text chapters. This reading
should be completed before the lecture period pertaining to the text assignment. Objectives appear at
the beginning of each chapter; these objectives tell you what capabilities you should acquire as a result
of studying, attending the lectures and completing assignments relating to that particular chapter.
“You don’t really understand something until you can explain it to your grandmother.”
- Albert Einstein
Laboratory Safety
Attendance at the first laboratory meeting is required. A student may not participate in lab if he/she has missed
the first lab meeting, which includes the mandatory lab safety training. If a student misses the first week of lab,
he/she must notify the instructor to make arrangements to make up the safety training before the end of the first
week of the semester.
Students are expected to comply with the KCC Science Laboratory Safety Rules at all times. These rules will be
discussed during the first lab meeting and each student will sign an acknowledgement of receipt and
understanding. Students who do not comply with the safety rules will be asked to leave the lab and will receive
no credit for that day’s work.
College Policies
Withdrawals
When it is necessary to withdraw from a course or from the college, a student may do so on or before the
withdrawal date without receiving a punitive final grade. Students should use Change of Schedule forms which
are available in Student Services. Students may submit Change of Schedule forms to Student Services or
through the mail, but they must be postmarked no later than the withdrawal date. No withdrawals are allowed by
phone. To determine the last date to withdraw with a grade of “W” in this course, log into KCConnect and click
on “my registration statement” under Academic Profile.
Code of Conduct - Students need to adhere to the Code of Conduct located in the college catalog.
