4. Catalog Description: Anatomy and Physiology 101 is the first class in a two part series and covers the chemical, cellular, tissue levels of organization. A systematic study of the anatomy and physiology including the study of the integument, reproductive system, skeletal system, muscular system, digestive and metabolic systems. The course is intended for students interested in careers in medical, paramedical, kinesiology and related fields.
5. Needs/Justification: Anatomy and Physiology 101 prepares students who which to pursue careers in the medical, paramedical, kinesiology and related fields. It prepares students to integrate the conceptual dynamics of structure and function of the human body with critical thinking applications in medical case studies.
6. Prerequisites: High school or college biology/chemistry is strongly recommended but not required.
7. Description for the Course: This is an intensive study of the structure and function of the human body. The emphasis is homeostasis and the interrelationship among systems with discussions on selected pathologies. Anatomy and Physiology 101 provides the major component of the gross anatomical study in the two semester series.
8. Learning Objectives: By the end of the course, students of anatomy and physiology
101 will be able to meet the following objectives:
1. Apply general anatomical terminology in the identification and description of anatomical features.
2. Relate the principles of chemistry to the elemental, molecular, cellular, organ and organismal level.
3. Relate cellular structure with the function of the cell. Assess the interactions of cellular organelles in the normal functioning of the cells.
4. Differentiate tissues by histological structure and describe how their histological structure relates to their function.
5. Identify and describe the detailed anatomy of the systems and structures studied in Anatomy and Physiology.
6. Analyze, explain and predict the detailed homeostatic physiological activities of the systems, organs, tissues and cells.
7. Predict the homeostatic responses to internal and external environmental changes in the physiologic systems.
8. Describe selected pathologies in terms of cause and effect relationship and determine the appropriate treatment in a case study approach

12. Methods of Evaluation: A student’s grade shall be determined by the
instructor, using multiple measures of performance related to the course objectives.
Methods of evaluation may include but are not limited to the following:
1. Tests and Quizzes to determine the student’s understanding and grasp
of the course content. Tests and quizzes may be multiple choice, written, oral,
or hands on identification of models or dissected materials.
2. Laboratory Activities for application of theory and concepts in hands on
activities.
3. Laboratory Practicals to determine competence in laboratory methods and content
areas.
4. Oral Presentations to present research information to the class.
5. Case Studies to apply concepts presented in course and to predict outcomes
and treatments appropriate for each scenario.
6. Group Discussion to involve students in critical thinking interactions and
activities.
7. Comprehensive Final Examination to determine student’s synthesis of
materials assigned and discussed in lecture and lab.
All tested material should be college level with a variety of formats such as multiple choice, fill in or short answers and essay. No open-book exams are to be given.
In the 5 unit class approximately 60% if the grade will be based on lecture and 40% on laboratory work.
13. Examples of Assignments: Sample assignments, which demonstrate level of
difficulty, expected, including writing, reading, out of class assignments.
a. Perform calculations and measurements using the systems normally
used in science and medicine.
b. Perform a detailed dissection on a representative mammal (such as a cat).
Identify and learn the musculature and internal anatomical features of the animal.
c. Participate in critical thinking exercises involving hypothetical physiological
scenarios such as case study analysis. Demonstrate the ability to apply concepts
discussed in class and predict physiological responses.
d. Study in detail, the anatomical features of a human cadaver (musculature,
integument and internal anatomy).
e. Evaluate the individual’s metabolism demand by recording the dietary
intake over a weeklong period of time.
f. Given a pathology case study such as osteoporosis, students will work in
small groups and be assigned research components pertaining to the pathology
including:
Dietary and nutritional causes
Diet and nutritional treatment and therapy
Exercise deficiency (inactivity or recumbence) causes
Exercise in treatment and therapy
Hormonal causes
Hormonal replacement in therapy
Multisystemic interaction in maintenance of bone tissue
Each group will compile a written research paper in their specific area and
will present it to the entire class in a presentation and discussion period.
