Course Objectives:      
The student will be able to:     
1) Understand basic cellular anatomy and physiology processes of all tissues within each individual system of the body.
2) Name all of the major bones of the Skeletal System, all of the major muscles of the muscular system.
3) Explain what the Nervous System consists of, and how it is connected to all other major systems.
4) Describe the anatomy & physiology of the Cardiovascular System including the heart and the major arteries. 
5) Understand the basic structure of the lungs, and the physiology of respiration.  
6) Identify all major anatomical structures of the cardiac, pulmonary, renal, skeletal, and muscular systems on a human cadaver.
7) Identify structures of various types of images in the health care field of radiology, including MRI's, X-Ray's, and CT Scans.
8) Understand the history of exercise in this country, and understand the asis of Functional Movement Systems (FMS)
9) Provide a brief overview of common dermatological diseases, identifying causes, symptoms, and current treatments.
10) Understand the anatomy of the urinary system, including the kidney, the anatomy of the individual nephron unit, and the filtration of the kidney. 
11) Identify the major structures of the reproductive system.
12) Explain early embryology, and the basic devleopment of the human fetus.
13) The process of birth from a health care professionals prospective, including complications that arise during birth.

The semester grade will be determined as follows

It is your responsibility to keep track of the points you have earned and the assignments you have completed.  Six week grades should be viewed as a progress report for the entire semester.  All 6 week grades will be cumulative from the beginning of the semester!

Tests:
Tests will include any content covered in class including lecture material, group lessons, Jeopardy game questions, ADAM questions, Cadaver Lab worksheet material, and guest lecturer material.  However, student groups will have input into the test format, and some of the testing material covered.  Student groups will take turns in determining the format of each test (see page 6 of this syllabus).  Additionally, student groups will be required (per their Student Group Lesson Rubric) to submit 5 multiple choice, 2 essay, 2 test figures, 5 definition (matching), and 6 other questions of any type (fill in the blank, multiple choice, matching, essay, etc…). 

Class Assignments:
End of chapter questions are due at the beginning of class the first day back in class after finishing the chapter. Cadaver Lab Worksheets will be due the class day following the visit to the LC Cadaver lab.  Guest Lecturer Outlines are due the next class day following the visit by the lecturer.  The Group Muscle Drawing must be finished and colored in order to receive credit for this assignment (groups will be assigned prior to the activity).  This assignment can be turned in no later than one week after the lab.  Groups will be assigned different orientations.  Groups will devise a mnemonic device (and share it with the class) along with their drawing to aid in recall.

Group Lessons:
Student groups (different for each of two lessons) will create a lesson for a class day they select (Groups will select first (shaded in gray in the Tentative Semester One Lecture Schedule) and second presentation dates (shaded in purple in the Tentative Semester One Lecture Schedule).  The groups for the first round of lessons are listed at the end of this syllabus.  Chapter lesson choices are on a ‘first come first serve’ basis.  Each lesson needs to meet certain requirements to gain full credit for the lesson.  All lessons must be turned in three days ahead of the scheduled lesson day.  These requirements are contained in the handout ’Student Group Lesson Rubric’.
