Biology 224 – Spring 2006

HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY - PART II

Dr. Stuart S. Sumida

California State University San Bernardino; Department of Biology

COURSE SYLLABUS

ENROLLMENT: A PASSING GRADE IN BIOLOGY 223 IS REQUIRED FOR ENROLLMENT IN BIOLOGY 224.  STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED IN THE COURSE TO PARTICIPATE IN LECTURES, CLASS EXERCISES, AND LABORATORIES. ENROLLMENT IN BIOLOGY 224 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. Harvard University Press. (CM)

Germann W. J. and C. L. Stanfield.  2005. Principles of Human Physiology 2nd Edition. Pearson Benjamin Cummings Publishing. (GWJ)

Sumida, S. S.  1996.  Laboratory Guide to Human Anatomy:  Early Development of the Head and Neck, Visceral and Circulatory Systems Based on Dissections of the Cat.  Burgess Publishing.  (SSS)

 

The three texts are available in the student bookstore. (The first two are the same as last quarter.) 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 files. 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 University Parkway (near the Econo Lube-and-Tune and el Pollo Loco). 

 

Grading Procedures

There will be two midterms of 100 and 150 points each. The final examination will be worth 200 points. Laboratory quizzes will total approximately 50 points. The laboratory practicum will be worth approximately 100 points. Total lab points will be 150.  Total points possible equal 600 points. There will be no make-up quizzes or 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. Sumida’s office hours will be held on Monday and Wednesday from noon to 2:00 in BI-308 or BI-224 unless otherwise indicated. Additional hours are normally added near exams.

 

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.

Animal and human cadavers are dissected in the Biology 224 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

If you do not already have a dissection kit from Biology 223, minimal dissection tools that will be required for Biology 224 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 from the CSUSB Biology Club at a discount. Announcements regarding their availability will be made during the first week of classes.
