NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COLLEGE COURSE SYLLABUS Course Title: BIOL 2401 Human Anatomy & Physiology I (HYBRID) Course Prefix & Number: BIOL 2401 Section Number: 390 Semester/Year: SP 2018 Semester Credit Hours: 4 Lecture Hours: 48 Lab Hours: 32 Course Description (NCTC Catalog): Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. Course Prerequisite(s): Required or Recommended Course Materials: REQUIRED: • Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology , 11 th ed., Martini ISBN 9780134396026 • Access code for MasteringA&P – must be compatible with CANVAS *****Students may choose to purchase a hard text or an etext. Etext and access codes are available for purchase from Pearson’s Mastering in CANVAS and may be purchased on/after the first day of class for students who wish to do so.****** RECOMMENDED • Gloves for dissections – gloves will not be provided for students in the lab; students must bring their own gloves if they wish to wear gloves during dissections; students will be required to participate in dissections INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Name of Instructor: Sherry Smith Campus/Office Location: Gainesville Campus Room 419 Telephone Number: 940-668-7731 ext 4350 E-mail Address: sherrysmith@nctc.edu OFFICE HOURS Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm 10:00 am – 12:00 pm 12:30 pm – 5:00 pm ALL OTHER TIMES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (From Academic Course Guide Manual/Workforce Education Course Manual/NCTC Catalog At the successful completion of this course the student will be able to: Lecture Learning Outcomes 1. Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. 2. Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. 3. Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems. 4. Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis. 5. Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances. 6. Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology. Lab Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Apply appropriate safety and ethical standards. 2. Locate and identify anatomical structures. 3. Appropriately utilize laboratory equipment, such as microscopes, dissection tools, general lab ware, physiology data acquisition systems, and virtual simulations. 4. Work collaboratively to perform experiments. 5. Demonstrate the steps involved in the scientific method. 6. Communicate results of scientific investigations, analyze data and formulate conclusions. 7. Use critical thinking and scientific problem-solving skills, including, but not limited to, inferring, integrating, synthesizing, and summarizing, to make decisions, recommendations and predictions.
