54.00 Lecture Hours, 54.00 Lab Hours
Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of ANAT 125 and CHEM 143)
Study of physiological principles, function, and homeostasis of
the human body in health and disease; at the biochemical, cellular, tissue,
organ, and system levels: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous,
endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and
reproductive. Includes cellular communication, sensory reception, and neural
and hormonal control: body movement, oxygen and nutrient delivery, immunity,
fluid and electrolyte balance, metabolism and reproductive function.
Intended primarily for Nursing, Allied Health, Kinesiology, and other health related
majors. Field trips are not required. (A-F or P/NP)

Grading: Grades are assigned based on points earned in written exams, laboratory exercises, summaries of current research, and a final exam, as follows:
Each summary must be two (2) pages long, double spaced. The first two (2) pages of the article summarized must be attached to the summary. Summaries with attachments are due the last lab meeting of the semester. Students will share their two (2) summaries orally at that meeting. Each student is given 90 sec maximum for each summary. Each written summary with attachment is worth 10 points. The assignment is described more the first day of class.

Academic Integrity: The academic senate at MJC shares the original jurisdiction for conduct violations in the area of academic integrity.
"The grading of a student’s work rests on the fundamental idea that an instructor is evaluating a student’s own work, so cheating or plagiarism demonstrates a failure to complete this most basic requirement of any course. Thus a faculty member may administer academic consequences for violating the Academic Integrity Policy ranging from partial credit to an F on the assignment or exam. The instructor may also consider that a student’s violation of academic integrity should be a consideration for disciplinary measures. Disciplinary action for violating academic integrity is administered by the Student Discipline Officer under Board Policy 5500 Standards of Conduct.“
Classroom environment: Students are entitled to and deserve a classroom environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Accordingly, students are required to obey generally accepted protocols for handling sharps and biohazardous fluids and materials. In addition, disruptive behaviors are not permitted; this includes, but is not limited to, talking and using cell phones when not integral to the class, or challenging biohazard protocols.
Cell phones: Turn off and do not use cell phones unless their use is integral to the class. In addition, use of a cell phone for any reason during an exam will result in zero (0) points for that exam (SME Policy).
Eating and drinking are not permitted in the classrooms especially in the lab rooms.
Attendance: It is the responsibility of the student to drop a course that she/he are no longer attending. However, the instructor may drop a student after two consecutive days of non-attendance unless arrangements are made in advance. Avoid absences and leaving early.
