Commitment
• Like BIOL 241, this is a very difficult class
that requires learning what is essentially a
new language
• Less memorizing, more processes
• The class is designed by the college as an
overview: lots of breadth, little depth
• Expect 25+ hours of reading and studying
each week in addition to class sessions
• The pace is a little frantic so missing class
is not recommended.
“Experiences” (Exams)
• First 4 exams
– taken during class
– 75 points each
– 1 hour 20 minutes to complete
• Final (Exam 5):
– Cumulative
– 100 points
– The last day of the class (11 Dec.)
Reading/Lecture/Lab Exams
Five exams, one every ~ two weeks
10 Oct.
Exam 1 (Chaps 16,17)
24 Oct.
Exam 2 (Chaps 18,19)
14 Nov.
Exam 3 (Chaps 20 – 22)
28 Nov.
Exam 4 (Chaps 23,24)
11 Dec. Wed Final 5 (Chaps 25 – 27)
In Class Exams
• A little more than half objective questions:
multiple-choice, matching, true/false
• The rest: fill-in-the-blank, short answer,
short essay, and diagram labeling
• You will need an unwrinkled Scantron
form and a #2 pencil for each exam.
• Not cumulative per se
In Class Exams
• Exams may not be rescheduled or madeup due to tardiness or absence. Students
with extraordinary circumstances should
discuss them with the instructor as soon
as the situation occurs.
• If you know ahead of time that you will
miss an exam for a valid reason, I may be
able to accommodate you but let me know
as far ahead of time as possible.
Exam 5 – Final
• Covers chapters 25-27 (some 16 – 24: it is
cumulative)
• 100 points
• Some multiple choice, matching, true false
and fill in but mostly short answer and
essay
Labs
• In BIOL242, most laboratory require your
presence in the laboratory. Students who
miss a laboratory exercise should come in
during open lab time to make up that
exercise. Wet lab activities like dissections
cannot be made up.
• Lab exercises will be due the following week
• Lab activities are designed to help prepare
you for the practical quizzes, but lab material
is also fair game on all exams
Lab Practicals
• Two, each worth 100 points
• Cover the material on the “Lab Practical
Study Guide” in the syllabus
• They will involve identifying slides, models,
or diagrams, and answering related
questions
• Because of the time required to set up
these quizzes, they cannot be made up. If
you miss it, you are out of luck.
Lab Practicals
31 Oct.
21 Nov.
12 Dec.
Practical 1: Chaps. 16 – 19
Practical 2: Chaps. 20 – 23
Final Practicum: Chap. (16 – 23) 24 – 27
Consult the Lab Practical Quiz Study Guide in
the syllabus for details on the minimum you are
expected to know for each practicum.
Note: the indicated items are a minimum. Other
structures from labs (or mentioned in lecture) are
also “fair game”!
Labs
• ~150 points total
• For each lab assigned, complete all the
questions on the lab manual “Review Sheet” at
the end of each lab or the assigned page and
turn it in to me the week following each lab.
NOTE: you must turn in the actual pages
torn out of a laboratory manual; no
photocopies will be accepted, unless it is a
download from the website assigned or you
have the e version.
• You must also include any data obtained from
the lab exercise or drawings of microscope
slides.
Lab Assignments
• In addition to the Review Sheet, this
quarter most labs will have a lab
assignment sheet that goes with each lab.
These are available on the website and
it is your responsibility to print out the
relevant ones to bring with you to class
each day.
• Most of the material for the practicals will
come from these assignments.
Class Assignments
• Around 50 points
• In class group work or individual takehome
• Case study or in-depth look at a topic
• 2 – 4 will be assigned, depending on time
available.
Lectures
• Lecture slides available on course website
usu. before lecture (some are posted now)
• Lecture material (slides, plus what I say in
class) will be what is asked on exams
(“experiences”)
• “Objectives” for each “unit” are posted on
the website for each “unit”.
Objectives
• List of learning goals that need to be
achieved for you to do well in this class
• Contain what I and the other teachers at
Washington CC’s and Univ’s. have deemed
to be the most important things for you to
know to go on in a health-related career
• These are a general overview of what you
should know for the exams.
• Available on the course website
Evening Class
• Both lecture and lab the same day
• There is a short break when we transition from
the lab (AS1615) to the classroom (AS1521)
 This causes some scheduling issues which
means the timing of labs is not always optimal
with respect to the lecture
 Also as a result, we may have to skip through
some portions of the lecture slides; you will still
be responsible for this material on the exams
 Use notes to study for exams and use the
objectives as your guide for studying the notes
Attendance
• Students should try to attend every class
session. If you miss a class session, it is
your responsibility to obtain the lecture
notes, to make up laboratory experiments
and to obtain handouts, assignments or
other materials distributed in class from
the website an, or, classmates.
• You are also expected to sign in when you
arrive.

Highly Recommended: get a “study buddy” and, or, form study
groups. Quizzing each other and explaining to someone else is
very helpful to learning and memorization!

KEY CONCEPT
• All physiological functions are performed by
specific anatomical structures
• Principle of complementarity says that
structure and function are complementary
– Function always reflects structure
– What a structure can do depends on its specific
form
– “Form follows function”
Introduction

Key to learning anatomy is understanding
function

For example:
Left side of heart is larger than right.

Why is that?
Structure (anatomy) and function (physiology)
are intimately related:
INTERCONNECTEDNESS
Methods of Studying Anatomy

Gross Anatomy

Structures large enough that one can see with the
unaided eye


Systemic Anatomy - Study of the 11* specific organ
systems
Microscopic anatomy

Involves studying anatomical structures that
cannot be seen with the unaided eye


Cytology – cells
Histology – tissue
11 Organ systems

Physiology = Function
Considers the operation of specific organ
systems


Renal – kidney function
Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous
system
Cardiovascular – operation of the heart and
blood vessels
Focuses on the functions of the body, often
at the cellular or molecular level
