List and describe anatomical components of the respiratory system and their functional roles in ventilation, external and internal respiration. 7. Examine and explain anatomical components of the digestive system and their functional roles in digestion, absorption, metabolism and elimination. 8. Identify anatomical components of the urinary system and their functional roles in urinary concentration, conservation of water and electrolytes, and acid/base balance.
9. Design a list of anatomical components and explain functional roles of the reproductive system. 10. Explain pertinent biological processes, including negative feedback and osmoregulation. Required Materials Anatomy and Physiology with Lab Manual, Biol 2402 Blinn College (Lecture and Lab Package) available at Blinn Bookstore. Anatomy & Physiology Revealed disc is also packaged with this compilation of Saladin s 5th edition text and Martin s Lab Manual. www.mhhe.com/saladin5 is the review website for the text, and has effective tools to help you practice and apply your learning. http://connect.mcgraw-hill.com is an assignment site for the text, with links to LearnSmart, another review tool. The weblink is: http://connect.mcgraw-hill.com/class/r_brown_spring_2010_section_a5 ecampus access: Students are expected to login several times a week in order to complete class assignments. Using ecampus is not optional, as a large portion of your grade comes from daily work that will be completed in this course management system. In addition to the items mentioned above, it is expected that students will come prepared for class each day with their own paper, pens, pencils, calculator, scantrons, or other necessary materials.

You must have a cover page. Final Exam: The final exam will be comprehensive and may be multiple choice, short answer, true/false, and/or essay. YOU WILL NEED A SCANTRON FOR YOUR FINAL EXAM ONLY. FINAL EXAM: TO BE ANNOUNCED Lab Reports/Worksheets: These assignments from your lab manual will be completed in lab. Class work activities are open note, group review questions, lab reports, etc. Late work will not be graded. Lab Practicals: We will have three lab practicals throughout the semester. They will be worth 50 points each. LAB PRACTICAL ONE: WEEK 4 LAB PRACTICAL TWO: WEEK 9 LAB PRACTICAL THREE: WEEK 14 Your final course grade will be calculated as a percentage of the total amount of points available: 900 points (or greater) A 800-899 points B 700-799 points C 600-699 points D Below 600 points F Blinn College Policies Attendance The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student success; therefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. Each class meeting builds the foundation for subsequent class meetings. Without full participation and regular class attendance, students shall find themselves at a severe disadvantage for achieving success in college. Class participation shall constitute at least ten percent of the final course grade. It is the responsibility of each faculty member, in consultation with the division chair, to determine how participation is achieved in his or her class. Faculty will require students to regularly attend class and will keep a record of attendance from the first day of class and/or the first day the student s name appears on the roster through final examinations. If a student has one week s worth of absences during the semester, he/she will be sent an e-mail by the College, via their
Blinn e-mail account requiring the student to contact his/her instructor and schedule a conference immediately to discuss his/her attendance issues. Should the student subsequently accumulate two weeks worth of unexcused absences, he/she will be administratively withdrawn from class. There are three forms of excused absence officially designated by Blinn College: (1) Observance of religious holy days: The student should notify his/her instructor(s) not later than the 15 th day of the semester concerning the specific date(s) that the student will be absent for any religious holy day(s); and (2) Representing Blinn College at an official institutional function and (3) official involvement in a high school activity for dual credit students. Other excuses will be considered and may be considered excusable at the instructor s discretion, with documentation. Missing lecture or lab or both will count as one absence. Dropping If a student chooses to drop the course, it is that student s responsibility to complete a drop order at the Office of Enrollment Services. Failure to do so could result in a grade of F in the course. Eating and drinking are not allowed in classrooms or laboratories. Dishonesty Statement Blinn College does not tolerate cheating, plagiarism or other acts of dishonesty. Definitions of these acts and procedures for dealing with them are described in Scholastic Dishonesty in the Blinn College Student Handbook, copies of which are available at the information desk in the administration building. ADA Statement Students with physical or learning disabilities must present documentation from the Office of Disability Services (room 157, Science Bldg) to receive accommodation on exams and assignments. Accommodation is not retroactive. The above requirements and policies are discussed more fully in the Blinn College Student Handbook which, by reference, is incorporated into this information. Please obtain and read. Additional Class Policies All excused absences must be documented. You are required to provide any documentation the FIRST day you return to class or your absence will be recorded as unexcused. If you have an excused absence, you are required to turn in any assignments the first day you return to class. If you have an unexcused absence, assignments will be not be accepted (this includes exams).
