Lecture Text: Human Physiology 11th ed. By Stuart Ira Fox
Publisher: McGrawHill
Laboratory Text: A Lab Manual will be provided for you
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students desiring to enroll in this course must have successfully completed a 4-credit, 300 level Biology course with lab and CHM 303 or received special permission from the chairperson. This course focuses on an analysis of the human body’s internal environment. Topics include the nature of biological control systems, and the properties of the major specialized cell types, which comprise these systems, and the functioning of the organs of the body and their coordination. The lab will explore by experimental techniques with living specimens the functioning of various cell-tissue-organ systems of particular physiological interest.
GRADING:
The student's final grade will be determined as follows:
| LECTURE EXAMS: |
60% |
| LAB. EXAMS: |
40% |
| |
100% |
The lecture will contain at least 3 exams , a final exam, quizzes and a term paper. The lab will contain a midterm, final and quizzes. Attendance is required in both lecture and lab. A dissection kit and lab coat are required for lab. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE DEPARTMENT NOT TO OFFER MAKE-UP EXAMS OR QUIZZES
