Week 1 Success Kit

Course Description

Biology 32 is the first part of a rigorous, two-semester integrated anatomy and physiology sequence that covers the structure, function, integration and homeostasis of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and organism level, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. This series meets the diverse needs of students seeking careers in allied health fields such as nursing, pharmacy, and physician’s assistant. It is strongly recommended that students complete the entire Anatomy and Physiology sequence at the same institution as the material may not be covered in the same semester order at different schools. Therefore, students taking one semester at one school may not be given credit for the same semester at a different school.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of BIOL B32, the student will:

Demonstrate the use of proper anatomical and physiological terminology to identify and describe the location, structure, and function of all major organs and organ systems covered.
Demonstrate an understanding and critically assess the interrelationships between structure and function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organismal levels in the human body.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the contribution of tissues, organs, and organ systems to the maintenance of homeostasis and identify causes and effects of selected homeostatic imbalances.
Describe and/or demonstrate proper use of technology, tools, medical tests, and laboratory equipment (such as microscopes, models, dissections tools, general lab ware, ECGs, simulations, etc.) that are commonly used to study anatomy and physiology and the human body.
Demonstrate the use of critical thinking and scientific problem-solving skills (including but not limited to inferring, integrating, synthesizing, and summarizing) to analyze data, extrapolate inferences, and draw conclusions as they relate to selected anatomical and physiological concepts and clinical examples.

Textbooks and Materials

Required Texts:

You are welcome to rent an electronic version of the textbook (currently $9.99/mo from the publisher), to rent or purchase the book from the bookstore, or to borrow the textbook from the library (Newtons texts are consumable, not available in digital and not available to borrow from library). You may also purchase/rent the text from third-party resellers like Amazon or eBay.

Marieb & Hoehn, 2020. Anatomy & Physiology (7th Ed.-ISBN 9780135168042 – or – 6th Ed. ISBN 9780134712437)
Newton, C., 2020. Lecture Notes for Human Anatomy & Physiology – Biology 32. This text will be provided by the instructor.
Newton, C., 2020. Laboratory Exercises for Human Anatomy & Physiology – Biology 32. This text will be provided by the instructor.

Other Recommended Materials:

3 - ring binder

Printed lecture notes and lab manual come 3-hole punched. Many students place these notes into 3-ring binders with dividers to organize notes, labs, etc. by chapter/topic.

Weekly planner and colored pens/pencils + highlighter is recommended, but not required

**I will be using ZipGrade this semester, so there is no need to buy scantron forms**

Technology Requirements:

In order to participate fully in this class, you will need a computer, tablet or other mobile device with reliable access to Canvas. A tablet, phone or scanner may also be required for scanning online assignments for submission via Canvas. Additionally, you will need a printer (or access to a printer) for occasional printing of documents.

FIrst day of class info! Read This!

- Please be on time to your first day of lecture and lab. By the first day of class, waitlists are typically full and students who are not on time run the risk of losing their seat to someone off the waitlist. If you end up running late and would like to ensure you do not lose your seat, please 🔆email me before the start of class🔆. If you do not reach out and are not on time on the first day, you will be dropped from the course.
