Course Description

Advanced exploration and discussion of topics and concepts within Human Anatomy, which include: structural organization of the human body: gross and microscopic structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems from cellular to organ system levels of organization. Taught from a functional perspective, it emphasizes the relationship of structure (Anatomy) to function (Physiology). Laboratory participation and instructor shadowing are required. This course is primarily intended for students who have successfully completed BIOL A220 (Human Anatomy) and desire to further their knowledge and understanding of Human Anatomy, while being mentored by instructors in laboratory discussion and presentation, and instructing, mentoring and tutoring current anatomy students. BIOL A200 students will be expected to assist BIOL A220 (Human Anatomy) students utilizing newly acquired educational techniques in the following: dissection; identification of specimens and structures on both the micro- and macroscopic level. PREREQUISITE: BIOL A220. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Describe the field of anatomy and identify the structures and structural hierarchy that comprise the organ systems of the human body.
2. Demonstrate the dissection skills and the proper microscope techniques needed to investigate the tissues and organs that comprise the human body.
3. Defend the contention that structure and function are inextricably correlated and apply that understanding to the fields of anatomy and physiology.

Course Objectives

• I Primary Course Objectives
• I. 1. Analyze and present anatomical concepts, structures, and models as they relate to the function of the human body.
• I. 2. Discuss and evaluate basic physiological concepts presented in case studies and scientific literature as related to the study of anatomy.
• I. 3. Apply pedagogical techniques in laboratory presentations.
• II Additionally
• II. 1. Assist BIO 220 (Human Anatomy) students utilizing newly acquired educational techniques in the following: dissection; identification of specimens and structures on both the micro- and macroscopic level.

Lab Content

This course includes a laboratory component with greater than 80% hands-on learning supporting the course outcomes. Students will be able to assist BIO 220 (Human Anatomy) students and present the following: 1. Identification of microscopic structures and tissues.          i. Demonstrate skill in the use of a compound light microscope. 2. Identification of bones and bone features. 3. Identification of skeletal musculature and muscle features.   4. Identification of internal organs and internal organ features. Additionally: 1. Dissection of organs or observation of dissected organs. 2. Dissection of organisms or observation of dissected organisms. 3. Identification of structures on models. 4. Use the language of medicine effectively.

Reading Assignments

Appropriate textbook, scientific literature, and case study reading assignments are given to coincide with lecture and lab. (2hrs)

Writing Assignments

Students will complete a capstone paper summarizing their experience and application of newly acquired anatomical concepts and pedagogical techniques. (1 hr)

Out-of-class Assignments

Supplementary assignments are posted online to reiterate concepts delivered in lecture.  Some are required, some are optional.  They might include worksheets (labeling, drawing, short answer, etc), links to videos or interactive websites. (1 hr)

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

In the discussion component of the class: oral and demonstrative assessments with objective and written components. In the laboratory component of the class: oral presentation of concepts, models and specimens.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Students must be able to relate structure to function (e.g. sliding filament theory), describe processes, and with respect to problem solving students should be able to apply concepts to other situational examples (i.e., critical thinking skills).

Eligible Disciplines

Biological sciences: Masters degree in any biological science OR bachelors degree in any biological science AND masters degree in biochemistry, biophysics, or marine science OR the equivalent. Masters degree required.
