Course Overview: A functional approach to gross and microscopic anatomy of major systems
of the human body through lecture and laboratory examination of models and dissections.
SLO # 1: Given the solute concentration of a solution, students will predict the movement of
water by osmosis into or out of a cell.
SLO # 2: Given a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, students accurately measure blood
pressure and heart rate and demonstrate understanding of normal and abnormal
measurements.
SLO # 3: Given a body region, students will state the correct anatomical term for that body
region.
SLO # 4: Given an organ system, students will identify the major organs and describe their
functions.
SLO # 5: Given the name of a biological molecule, students will demonstrate understanding of
the molecule’s importance to life functions.
Course Objectives: Upon satisfactory completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. identify the principal systems of the human body and list representative organs of each system.

NOTE: The bookstore has bundled the text book, on-line access code, and laboratory manual
together at one price. You should check the prices of buying these items individually
before you buy from another source. The bundled package from the bookstore is
probably your most economical choice. PLEASE BE AWARE I WON’T ACCEPT
USED LAB BOOKS THAT ARE PRE-WRITTEN OR YOU CAN NOT WRITTE
ON IT OR you need to SHARE WITH OTHER STUDENT.
Text: Hole’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 12th Edition by David Shier/Jackie
Buttler/Ricki Lewis. McGraw Hill.
Laboratory Manual: Same name, edition and publisher.
Other Resources:
Course web sites: The course syllabus and power point notes which accompany lectures
are posted on etudes AND OR ON Google Drive for this course.
Software: There are a number of websites available on internet that provide a virtual lab
experience. You should also use the Physiology and Anatomy Revealed (APR) software
which is available using your on-line access code. Some lab exam questions may be
based on images from this software.
Skeletal Sets: A complete skeleton as well as disarticulated parts is available on reserve
in the Hartnell Library.
TEST:
THIS IS FACE TO FACE CLASS. ALL MATERIAL PRESENTED,
ANNOUNCED, OR THE STUDENTS IS EXPOSED TO IN CLASS, WILL BE
YOUR STUDY GUIDE FOR YOUR TEST.
No study guide will be provided.
Lecture Test: May be matching, multiple choice or True/false format.
Lab Test: Lab quizzes will be assigned on the day of your lab session and are ONLY available
during the lab session. Be sure you are present.
Homework: If any, Homework assignments will be available at the beginning of each week and
may be completed any time during the week. There are no time limitations on how long
you have to complete the assignment.
Exams: Lecture exams will be a mix of multiple choices, true-false and matching based on
material covered in lecture. You will need an 882-E scantron to take the exams. If you
cannot be present when the exam is given due to personal emergency, you must contact
me ahead of time with your reason in order to be allowed to make up the exam. The best
methods of notification are email. You will be asked to provide evidence of personal
emergency. Make up lecture exams will be offered in a different format than those
given during class. No make-up exams will be allowed more than 1 week beyond the
original exam date. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have taken every exam
or made arrangements for a make-up. I will not be checking for you and I will not
contact you regarding missed exams.
NOTICE! No extra credit is offered in this course.
Return of Graded Papers: All exams taken in class periods will be reviewed with students
during lab and the Scantrons returned. Please keep these for your records. Any papers
not picked up within two weeks of their return date in class will be discarded. If you do
not pick up your papers you will not be able to check whether I have recorded each of
your grades and the correct score has been recorded. No change can be made to recorded
grades except by written proof of the error. No graded paper to show me, NO proof!
Lab Exams: Lab exams may be multiple choice or True False format, largely involving
identification of structures studied during labs.
Lab Practical Exams are based on set up stations and students rotate from one station to
the next station every two minutes. Because this is a timed test you must arrive on time.
Due to extensive and multiple set up lab test are not possible to be make up. Any Lab
test, weekly, midterm or final require identification of anatomical structures in diagrams
that may come from any source available to me. No make-up lab will be allowed to be
make up.

Student must have a passing grade (70% or more) in BOTH, Lecture and Lab to pass this
class, regardless if your instructor is Dr. Ferraris or Mrs. Kato.
General Class Guidelines:
Attendance: You should plan on attending all lectures and labs for their full length. This
is not a correspondence course, nor is it a spectator activity. Thus you should actively
participate in lecture and lab by focusing on material at hand and asking questions about
aspects you are not clear on. It is strongly suggested you form study groups with other
students.
There will be strict adherence to the attendance policy. Please familiarize yourself with
the Hartnell College Spring 2014 attendance policy. In particular section 3 of the policy
states:
3. Any lack of attendance which leads an instructor to judge that unsatisfactory
progress is being made may result in the student being dropped. Absence from a full
semester class in excess of two weeks (consecutive or non-consecutive) may result in
the instructor dropping the student. That is, a student may be dropped after missing
one more class than twice the number of class meetings per week.
You may be dropped if you miss seven or more class meetings, (lecture or lab, any
combination thereof). Failure to take a lecture or lab exam will count as missing a class
meeting. However, there is no guarantee you will be dropped and if you intend to
withdraw from the course in order to receive ‘W’ instead of a grade you must responsible
for it. Under new state regulations you may only attempt a class three times. A ‘W’
grade is considered an attempt.
Tardiness: Tardiness is extremely disruptive to me and to your fellow students. The
noise and disruption created by your late entrance breaks the students’ concentration,
disrupts my chain of thought and often results in unnecessary repetition of class material.
In addition, most announcements that are made that require your attention are made at the
beginning of class. For these reasons any student that arrives more than 15 minutes late
will not be admitted into the classroom and will be counted absent for that day.
Excessive tardiness may result in your being dropped from the class.
Student Conduct: Any disruptive conduct in the classroom will not be tolerated. Please
familiarize yourself with the Student Code of Conduct in the Hartnell College Catalog
p31.
One of the most disruptive types of conduct is talking with other students during the
lecture. It is my responsibility to ensure a proper learning environment is maintained in
the class room. To help eliminate talking among students during lecture you will have an
assigned seat for lecture. Seat assignments will be announced when the add/drop period
for classes closes. All of the seats in the class are numbered. You must be in your
assigned seat to be counted as attending class. If, even with assigned seating you talk to
those around you, your seat assignment will be changed. Disruptive conduct of any kind
may result in your being dropped from class.
Cell Phones: You are prohibited from having your cell phones out in lecture or lab. If
you are observed using a cell phone in class you will be asked to leave the class and
will be counted absent for that lecture and if you have test that day your grade will 0.
Academic Honesty: Do not cheat, or even think of it! You will receive no credit if
caught and per college policy there may be other consequences (see Policies on Cheating
in the Hartnell Catalog). Perhaps worst of all cheating is embarrassing and gets you
nowhere. Things to avoid during exams are to talk with other students, your books,
notes, cell phones (turn them off and put them away) and discouraging thoughts.
Final Note: Many times students taking this class will say to me “I must have an A in
this class.” YOU are responsible for ensuring that you are successful in this class.
My advice to you is that if you want an A in this class then do what it takes to make one!
Suggestions to ensure your success:
1. Buy the required materials for this class. The textbook and lab manual for this class
are new and were chosen for ease of reading and useful features like STUDY TIP
BOXES that appear throughout the text and lab manual. The text is also annotated with
APR to show where each topic can be found in the virtual dissection software that is
available using the access code that comes with the text.
2. Prepare for lecture and lab by reading the assigned material in advance. If power
points are available in advance of the topic look over them before class so that you have
an overview of what will be covered. Print these out and bring them to class so that you
can annotate them with your own notes.
3. Attend lectures and labs. Enough said!
4. Take notes. It is important that you take notes in class. It keeps you actively engaged
during the lecture. Many times during lecture I will mention that a certain topic is always
a test question—believe me! If you do not know how to take effective notes yet then
read the materials I post on the course website on taking notes.
5. Ask questions during lecture when things are unclear. There are no dumb questions,
and I will never embarrass you in class for any question you may ask.
6. Do not get behind. Falling behind practically guarantees failure. Anatomy is not a
subject that you study for a few hours the night before the exam.
7. Take full advantage of lab periods. Do the lab exercises and study the models or
perform dissections when assigned. If you have extra time left use it to make sure all
assignments have been completed or begin preparation for the next lecture.
8. Take advantage of all available resources. Go to SI sessions; get a tutor; form study
groups. These are all FREE.
9. Practice, practice, practice! Practice with another student, use the many practice tests
available with you online access code. Complete the study smart modules I assign.
Practice allows you to identify what it is that you do not know. That is what you need to
study!
CAMPUS SAFETY
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION: In the event of a life threatening emergency call 911.

To report a non-life threatening incident, safety hazard, or a suspicious activity please
contact campus security at 755-6888
 To obtain campus status information, call the campus safety and facilities emergency status
bulletin telephone number: 831-796-6222. From a campus line, simply dial 6222
 AlertU subscribers can be alerted in real-time about important security information.
Alert U is a SMS based emergency notification system that works on mobile phones. To sign up
for AlertU, simply use the subscription tool that says "Emergency Alerts" at
http://www.hartnell.edu/safety/
EVACUATION: Please note the exit(s) in the room. In the event of an alarm or safety threat,
uniformed Hartnell personnel equipped with two-way radios—including security, and
maintenance staff—have up-to-date information; they also have the authority to order either
shelter-in-place or immediate building evacuation. For evacuation, immediately heed their
directions by proceeding calmly and quickly to an exterior assembly area as indicated by trained
staff. Please stay back at least 200 feet from any building until the “all clear” command is issued.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: The first 72 hours of a disaster are often the most difficult,
but this period can be less stressful if everyone has extra supplies on hand. The college has a
limited amount of emergency supplies, so students and staff should have on campus their own
portable emergency kit including snacks, water, and prescription medication; this is especially
important for those who may need to shelter on campus. For more information go to
http://72hours.org/ and http://www.hartnell.edu/emergency/
Course Schedule: Below is a schedule for this course. This schedule is intended to serve only
as a guideline to the sequence in which material is anticipated to be covered. If
unforeseen circumstances require changes to the schedule these changes will be
made at the discretion of the instructor. Changes may affect anything covered in
this schedule, including but not limited to, topics covered, scheduled dates, lab
schedules, and number and date of exams and lab practical. Any such changes will
be announced in class prior to their implementation. All reasonable efforts will be
made to remain on schedule.
