ZOOLOGY 141L SYLLABUS ZOOLOGY 141L SYLLABUS FALL 1998 / SECTIONS: 6773, 6775, 7728, & 7729 Instructor: Ron Dunn, Ph.D. Office: KOKIO 205 Office Hours: TTh 12:00 - 2:00, or by appointment Office Phone: 734-9787 Required Materials: (available in KCC Book Store) Integrated Human Anatomy, by Daniels Lab Handouts A Photographic Atlas for the Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory, by Kent M. Van de Graaff and John L.
Crawley Dissection Kit latex gloves - 3 pairs Optional Materials: (available in KCC Book Store) Dissection illustrations Flash Cards for Human Anatomy and Physiology, by Van de Graaff Course Objectives: This course is intended to complement the material presented in the Zoology 141 lectures, by giving hands-on experience with anatomical models, laser disc and computer anatomical images, organ and whole-animal dissections, and physiological and biochemical experiments. The labs held in the Health and Natural Science Learning Assistance Center (HNSLAC='DRY LAB') are designed to further develop independent learning skills. Course Competencies: It is expected that students who pass this course will be able to identify the significant anatomical structures of the human skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and digestive systems. Students will also have acquired hands-on experience in electromyography, electrocardiography, sphygmomanometry, metabolic measurements, and in the measurement of various blood and biochemical parameters. The information to be learned about anatomy models and dissections is contained in the Daniels manual and in the lab handouts (from the KCC bookstore). Histology is presented on the Computer Laser Image Disk Educator (CLIDE).

Physiological experiments and tests will be performed in the laboratory (='WET LAB'). The Creative Imaging technique will also be employed. Instruction: This is an 'integrated' laboratory, meaning it combines the best of the old and new in the study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Animal dissections in the 'wet lab' gives students hands on experience, with preserved animal specimens that are analogues to those in the human, such as the fetal pig and sheep heart.
Also in the 'wet lab', students will be both clinicians and patients in physiological tests to demonstrate principles and gain experience performing clinical exams. The HNSLAC 'dry lab' represents the modern 'open lab' concept in which the students are able to learn at their own pace. Students are expected to dissect detailed models of the human body and study the pre-programmed diagrams and photographs (CLIDE). The locations and functions of any anatomical feature noted on the CLIDE monitors or in the Daniel's manual ( underlined terms only) is also required. In addition to the usual class period the student may attend the HNSLAC at any open time, using the class schedule as a guide-line for when to start and finish a subject area. The instructor will be present in the HNSLAC during scheduled lab times to answer questions and provide information about past and future labs.
Two Creative Images (CIs) are to be done for each of the first two 'dry labs'. Two from the torso model in the general anatomy dry lab.
Two from CLIDE ( not from any drawn diagrams) during the histology dry lab. They are due one week after the 'dry lab' date. The method for producing the creative images is given on pages 4-10 of the Daniels manual and a outlined handout of the main points. Examples, and the proper blank forms to used in making the creative images are shown in the back of the Daniels manual (copy 6 for the CIs that you will draw). Grading: The final grade will be determined by four laboratory exams (70%), background and procedure quizzes (5%), physiology experiment data reports (10%), physiology lab review questions (5%), creative images (3%), real bone/muscle questions (2%), and dissection quizzes (5%).
The weighted scores from exams, reports, questions, creative images, and quizzes will be added and placed on a standard grade scale ( 90%=A, 80%=B, 70%=C, 60%=D) to determine the final grade. Exam scores will be posted within three school-days. Tentative grades associated with semester exam scores are only to give a rough estimate of relative class standing, and are not used to determine the final grade. The exam questions will be multiple choice, and pertain to: 1) any of the structures and functions cited in the lab manual, or noted on handouts (referring to anatomical models, real bone/muscle material, and dissections); 2) the physiology experiments performed; 3) any of the structures and functions on the assigned materials contained on the CLIDE.
The exams are not cumulative. The lab exams are mandatory, and there will be no alternate exams or extra-credit assignments. The dissection quizzes will be in-class, oral anatomical identification questions (max of 5 per student).
Each experimental exercise in the 'wet lab' will have a 5 minute quiz at the beginning, over background and procedures to be used in that lab. If a score on an exam is below the tentative 'C' level an appointment should be made with the instructor to discuss ways to improve performance. Department Withdrawal and Incomplete Policy: A 'W' grade after 10/23/98/F (the last day to withdraw); The instructor will sign withdrawals only in cases of extreme or unusual circumstances. Grade related excuses are not acceptable. Examples of circumstances are: 1) a certified medical reason, or 2) a death in the immediate family. Incomplete ('I') grade: Students must present the 'Request for Incomplete' form prior to the last day of instruction. 'I' grades will be given only to students who are achieving passing grades and are very close to completing the course.

In addition, the student must have a very good reason for not being able to complete all the work on time, such as those reasons listed under the withdraw policy. Additional Information: A student evaluation of instruction will be taken near the end of the semester.
