Biology 223
HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY - PART I
Dr. Stuart S. Sumida
COURSE SYLLABUS
ENROLLMENT: STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED IN THE COURSE TO PARTICIPATE IN LECTURES, CLASS EXERCISES, AND LABORATORIES. ENROLLMENT IN BIOLOGY 223 CONSTITUTES LEGAL ACCEPTANCE OF ALL THE GUIDELINES LISTED BELOW. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.
Required Texts:
Cartmill, M., W. L. Hylander,
and J. Shafland. 1987. Human Structure.
Germann, W. J. and C. L. Stanfield. 2005. Principles of Human Physiology 2nd Edition. Pearson Benjamin Cummings Publishing. (GWJ)
Sumida, S. S. 1995. Laboratory Guide to Human Anatomy: Development, Musculoskeletal, and Nervous Systems. Burgess Publishing. (SSS)
The three texts are available in the
student bookstore. Students are expected to have read all assigned material prior
to the beginning of the designated lecture or laboratory section.
Course Packet: A packet of materials to be used as course supplements consists of printouts of all lecture powerpoints. The packet is available at Copy-Plus. Students are not required to purchase the packet, as all materials are also available on-line at www.stuartsumida.com; however many students find it convenient and less expensive to purchase the packet as a whole at the beginning of the term.
Copy-Plus is located at the corner of Kendall and
Grading Procedures
There will be two midterms of 100 and 150 points each. The final examination will be worth 200 points. The two laboratory practicals will be worth 150 points total. Total points possible equals 600 points. There will be no make-up practicals due to the need to prepare multiple stations for these types of evaluations. Examinations that are missed due to unavoidable problems (e.g. illness or a death in the family) will normally be made up as an oral examination or quiz administered by the respective lecture or laboratory instructor.
Grading Criteria
The course is not graded on
a curve. Letter grades are not assigned for individual exams or quizzes; rather
they are based on the cumulative points. Grades will be set according to the
criteria listed below. There is no extra credit work available.

Policy on Recording of Lectures
All lectures are the copyrighted property of the instructor. Audio
recordings of lectures may be made for individual use only. They may not be
sold, reproduced, or redistributed in any way. Although tape recorders may be
used as a study aid, they may not be used in lieu of attendance. Attendance is
expected of all students. No videotaping, digital or analog photography
is allowed in the lecture or laboratory theaters due to privacy laws associated
with the use of human remains.
Office Hours
Dr. Sumidas office hours will be held on Monday and Wednesday from
Laboratory Equipment and Procedures
White lab coats are not required for dissection labs. However, some kind of protection is recommended if you are to wear good clothing to the laboratory. The more practical alternative is to wear tough or inexpensive clothing that will stand up to frequent washing in hot water. In accordance with State and University regulations, the use of eye protection is recommended for sessions in which fumes or liquids might be encountered. Eye protection is recommended but not required for entrance to the laboratory.
Animals and human cadavers are dissected in the Biology 223 course. All
students must participate in the dissection laboratory or forfeit the 150
laboratory points. Objections to the use of preserved materials will not excuse
students from laboratory requirements.
Dissection Tools
Minimal dissection tools that will be required for Biology 223 are: a blunt probe, scissors, a scalpel with replaceable blades, and a pair of forceps. Kits containing most of these are available in the student store but are of inferior quality. Medical grade tools are preferable and are available froim the CSUSB Biology Club at a discount. Announcements regarding their availability will be made during the first week of classes.
