Office Hrs: MW, 11:50 – 12:40 PM
Room: BS 120
Phone: (323)

2. Course Description A two-quarter course, with required lab section
Designed for non-science majors (not for pre-med students)
This quarter: anatomical terminology, structure & function of cells & tissues, basic biochemical & metabolic pathways, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, digestive, and urinary systems.
Required textbook: Anatomy and Physiology, fifth
edition, R. Seeley, T.D. Stephens and P. Tate
Grading on curve with plus/minus system

3. Course Objectives The objectives of the course are:
to gain a detailed knowledge of the structure and function of the human body;
to appreciate the relationships between structure and function; and
to understand how various cells, tissues, organs and organ systems work together to maintain body function.

4. Lectures for Download and Printing
There is a web page available for the course containing the Powerpoint lecture slides. A short and long version of the lectures are posted with the short version containing only text.
You can find the Bio 200A Home Page at:
Access the WWW through the Netscape software program available on computers throughout campus.
To obtain an NIS computer access account, go to the Academic Technology Support Office, King Hall D149

5. Grading
You will receive a single grade, combining scores in lecture and lab portions of the course.
Point distribution is as follows:
Two written midterm exams: 160 pts total
One written final exam: pts
Three (of four) lab quizzes pts total
Written lab report pts
Two lab practical exams pts total
Lecture quizzes pts
Total points……………..…….….…630
Missed exams must have a valid written excuse. No makeup exams! You must take the final to receive a grade in the course.
Grading is based on the class curve, EXCEPT THAT YOU MUST have at least 315 points to pass the course.

6. Lecture Quizzes Come to lecture. Bring paper, pencil/pen, ID.
Take a graded “minute quiz”
Earn up to 2 points per lecture quiz (most lectures)

7. Enrollment Enrollment is handled in lab sections only.
You must be enrolled in a lab to enroll in the course.
You must attend and take exams in the lab you are enrolled in!
Open Enrollment students: enroll after second week of the quarter, if space permits.

8. What are characteristics of living things?
Growth: an increase in size through increase in the number or size of their cells
Reproduction: the ability to produce offspring
Movement: either internal or through the environment
Responsiveness: the ability to sense changes in the environment and react accordingly
Metabolism: the construction or break-down of substances involved in energy production

9. Anatomy: The Study of Structure
Microscopic Anatomy
(histology and cytology):
The study of tissues and cells.
Gross Anatomy: The study of structures visible to the unaided eye.
Approach: Systemic vs. Regional
Systemic: by system
Regional: by area

10. Levels of Organization
Subcellular: Molecular (atoms, molecules), organelles
Cellular
Tissue
Organ
System/Organism

11. Physiology: The Study of Function
- Nervous System
- Muscular System
- Skeletal System
- Respiratory System
- Cardiovascular System
- Endocrine System
- Integumentary System
- Immune, digestive, and reproductive systems

12. Basic Concepts in Physiology
Homeostasis: The maintenance of constant environment in the body (temperature, chemical composition).
The loss of homeostasis leads to disease and/or death!
Feedback Mechanisms: Maintain homeostasis through detection of environmental conditions and appropriate adjustments.

19. Anatomy: The Basic Body Plan
The body is a three dimensional, bilaterally symmetrical object.
The body is organized as a trunk with hollow tube inside (GI tract), and attached appendages (arms, legs, head).

20. Anatomical Position
Anatomical terms are used in reference to the body in anatomical position:
- Body is erect, with feet together
- Head and toes are pointed forward.
-Arms are at side, with palms forward.

21. Directional Terms -superior vs. inferior (Cephalic vs. caudal)
-anterior vs. posterior
(ventral vs. dorsal)
-medial vs. lateral
-proximal vs. distal
-superficial vs. deep

22. Terminology of three dimensional planes
- sagittal sections: separate left from right
- frontal/coronal sections: separate anterior from posterior
- transverse/horizontal sections: separate superior from inferior

24. Regions of the Body
Appendicular Regions: arm, forearm, wrist, hand, thigh, leg, ankle, foot
Axial Regions: head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis

25. Terminology of Body Cavities
Dorsal Cavity:
Brain, spinal cord
Ventral Cavity:
- thoracic
- pleural cavities (lungs)
- pericardial (heart)
- abdomino-pelvic
- abdominal (GI tract)
- pelvic (reproductive
organs)

26. MINUTE QUIZ! The stomach is located in the a) thoracic cavity
b) dorsal cavity
c) abdominal cavity
d) pelvic cavity
Correct!

27. Terminology of Linings of Ventral Cavity
The thoracic and abdominal cavities and their contents are lined with thin serous membranes, which secrete fluid for lubrication.
The serous membranes covering the walls of the cavities are called parietal serous membranes.
Serous membranes covering the organs are called visceral serous membranes.

29. Terminology of Linings of Ventral Cavity
The serous lining of the pleural cavity is called the pleural membrane, or pleura.
The serous lining of the pericardial cavity is called the pericardial membrane, or pericardium.
The serous lining of the abdominal cavity is called the peritoneal membrane, or peritoneum.
Remember that for each of these, there is a parietal part and a visceral part.
