API_D ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY II
Fall 2012 BIOL 202-06 Tuesday D. Campbell

==============================================================================
Instructional Objectives:
1. Use the general steps of the scientific method to form hypotheses,
collect and evaluate data, and draw conclusions, in order to learn to
distinguish between science and pseudoscience, and to evaluate scientific
information in both professional journals and the popular press.
2. Use anatomical vocabulary correctly in order to be able to read and
understand the text and laboratory instructions, and communicate effectively
in a professional setting.
3. Observe and describe differences in basic tissue types in order to be
able to predict tissue and organ function based on structure.
4. List the eleven organ system, the organs they include, and their
basic function, in order to carry out a systematic (as opposed to regional)
study of the human body.
5. Apply the basic principles of biology to the function of cells and
cell membranes in the human body in order to be able to predict the nature of
processes involving membrane transport, receptors, surface area and energy,
thus learning from understanding rather than memorization.
6. Relate structure to the function of cells, tissues, and selected
organs in order to demonstrate an understanding of the physiology of the
eleven systems of the human body: integumentary, skeletal, muscular,
nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, respiratory,
digestive, urinary, and reproductive.
7. Describe the results of homeostatic imbalance of the same important
variables in order to relate changes to the underlying causes of disease.
8. Present and interpret data from charts and graphs in order to develop
skills in using charts and graphs to convey information, to be able to read
and understand professional journals and to understand data used in the
workplace and presented at meetings and conferences.
9. Communicate accurately and clearly both in writing and orally in
order to educate patients (for students entering allied health fields) and
communicate with professional colleagues.
10. Work safely in the laboratory and follow simple laboratory protocols
in order to work cooper- atively to complete laboratory exercises and conduct
experiments using the scientific method.
11. Use appropriate study skills to ensure success in the course.
12. Strengthen Core Competencies in order to increase success in this and
other courses and in the workplace. Core Competencies include competence in
Critical Thinking (CT), Technology Skills (TS), Oral Communications (OC),
Quantitative Skills (QS), Reading ®, and Writing (W).

NOTE: Students with disabilities who believe they may need accommodations in
the classroom are encouraged to contact the Disability Counselor for Learning
Disabilities as soon as possible, in order to ensure that such accommodations
are implemented in a timely fashion. Students with physical disabilities at
the Brockton Campus should contact Mary Berg, at Extension 1425.
