Anatomy and Physiology

                           2011-12 CVGS Anatomy & Physiology                                                     

Instructor: Shannon Beasley, M.S.,  sbeasley@cvgs.k12.va.us

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.

Course Requirements:
During this semester, there will be a heavy reliance upon visual recognition of anatomic structures as well as a conceptual understanding of basic physiological processes.  A group learning environment ill be stressed.  Lectures will be structured around PowerPoint presentations, both by the instructor and by the students, and other visual media.  Students will be able to look up supportive resources on the companion website.  I highly recommend the following study plan:
1) read the chapter before we go over the first chapter lesson,
2) attend the lecture,
3) review the PowerPoint presentations and other relevant material,
4) take practice quizzes for the chapter on the companion website, and
5) review the end of chapter questions. 

With this type of course, constant repetition of the material in a variety of formats is essential for mastery.

Absences (consult the Student Handbook for additional information):
When you miss any amount of class time, for any reason, it is your responsibility to contact a student colleague in the class to obtain the information you missed. Foreseeable absences for any reason need to be discussed with the instructor in advance.  Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence.

If a student is absent (excused) for only one class meeting, upon return he/she is expected to have completed the work which was due on the day of absence.  If a test was missed, the student is expected to take the test on the day of return.  If a student misses two or more consecutive class meetings, he/she should talk to the instructor to devise a plan to catch up. Work missed because of an unexcused absence cannot be made up.  If a test is missed because of an unexcused absence, then that test grade will be lowered by 10 points for each day late. 

Class Participation:
You should plan to be actively involved in class.  This means being attentive, having your homework and/or notes complete before class begins, and participating in class discussions and activities. 

Honor Code:
Students are required to pledge all work that they turn in for a grade.  Refer to CVGS Student Handbook for complete requirements.
 

Percentage and Grade Equivalent:

89.5-100 A
79.5-89.4 B
69.5-79.4 C
59.5-69.4 D
Earning less than 60 points will result in a failing grade for the course.

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’.
