BIOLOGY 323 – Fall 2011

HUMAN ANATOMY FOR BIOLOGY MAJORS

 

Lecture: CS-222, Tuesday/Thursday 10:00-11:50 A.M.

Laboratory Section 1: BI-328, Tuesday/Thursday 3:00-5:50 P.M.

Laboratory Section 2: BI-328, Monday/Wednesday 9:00-11:50 A.M.

 

ENROLLMENT: STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED IN THE COURSE TO PARTICIPATE IN LECTURES, CLASS EXERCISES, AND LABORATORIES. ENROLLMENT IN BIOLOGY 323 CONSTITUTES LEGAL ACCEPTANCE OF ALL THE GUIDELINES LISTED BELOW. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

COURSE PREREQISITES:  Biology 200,201,202, 300.

COURSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: Biology 323, “Upper Division Human Anatomy for Biology Majors” provides an overview of human anatomy from embryological/developmental, structural, functional, and evolutionary perspectives.  Early development of humans provides a basis for system-based lectures on skeletal, nervous, muscular, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems.  Regional approaches are used, particularly in the case of the head and neck.  For all systems and structures, an understanding of development, innervation, and vascularization will be expected.

REQUIRED TEXTS:

1.  Cartmill, M., W. L. Hylander, and J. Shafland. 1987. Human Structure. Harvard University Press. (CM)

2.  Sumida, S. S. 1995. Laboratory Guide to Human Anatomy: Development, Musculoskeletal, and Nervous Systems. Burgess Publishing. (SSS1)

3.  Sumida, S. S. 1996. Laboratory Guide to Human Anatomy: Early Development of the Head and Neck, Visceral and Circulatory Systems Based on Dissection of the Cat. Burgess Publishing. (SSS2)

4.  Gilory, A.N.  B. R. MacPhearson, and L. M. Ross. 2008. Atlas of Anatomy. Thieme Medical Publishers, New York. (GMR)

The atlas by Gilroy et al. is to be used as a laboratory aid, but has excellent text and will be useful for lecture study as well. Students are expected to have read all assigned material prior to the beginning of the designated lecture or laboratory section.

Grading Procedures: There will be two midterms of 150 and 200 points each. The final examination will be worth 300 points. Laboratory quizes will be worth 100 points and the laboratory final will be worth 100 points. Total points graded equals 850 points attainable. 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 administered by the 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.

Policy on Recording of Lectures: All lectures are the copyrighted property of the instructor. Audio recordings (cassette, MP3, or otherwise) of lectures may be made for individual use only. They may not be sold, reproduced, posted to the internet, 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 is allowed in the lecture or laboratory theaters.

 

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.  Animals and human cadavers are dissected in the Biology 323 course. All students must participate in the dissection laboratory or forfeit the 200 laboratory points. Objections to the use of preserved materials will not excuse students from laboratory requirements.

 

Dissection Tools: Minimal dissection tools that will be required for Biology 323 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 at the Loma Linda Medical Student bookstore and the UCLA Biomedical bookstore. American Surgical Supply on Highland Blvd. also stocks all necessary materials. The CSUSB Biology Club sells dissection kits at a discount. Announcements regarding their availability will be made during the first week.

 

Office Hours: Dr. Sumida’s office hours will be held on Tuesdays directly after class in room BI-314 or the class laboratory. Additional hours will be added once students’ schedules are evaluated. Students wishing extra time in the laboratory may use these and the remaining hours between lecture and laboratory periods for review if the laboratory is unoccupied by other classes. Additionally, e-mail is checked by the instructor daily. Dr. Sumida's e-mail address is: ssumida@csusb.edu.

 

SERICES TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: If you are in need of an accommodation for a disability in order to participate in this class, please let the professor know as soon as possible, and also contact Services to Students with Disabilities at UH-183, (909)537-5238.  Please note: it is the student's responsibility to seek academic accommodations for a verified disability in a timely manner.

 

LEGAL ISSUES FOR ALL COURSES: Cheating and plagiarism are not tolerated.  Students caught using unauthorized materials, or attempting to use/copy other students’ work, on exams or quizzes will be give a zero (0 points) grade for that exam or quiz and course failure will be considered.  Please see the “Academic Regulations and Procedures" in the CSUSB Bulletin of Courses for the university’s policies on course withdrawal, cheating, and plagiarism.

 

On-Line Presence for Biology 323: Biology 323 course materials are not present on Blackboard.  All course materials, lecture outlines, and abbreviated versions of power point presentations may be accessed at the instructor’s website: www.stuartsumida.com.  Questions are accepted and encouraged via e-mail.  To assure proper attention to the message, please refer to Biology 323 in the subject line.  Dr. Sumida's e-mail address is: ssumida@csusb.edu.
