Student Outcomes
LECTURE OUTCOMES
1. Distinguish between the terms “anatomy” and “physiology”
2. Use correct and appropriate anatomical and directional terminology and descriptions
3. Explain the basic concept of homeostasis and how homeostatic mechanisms (positive and negative feedback control) apply to body systems
4. Describe the formation of ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds and how they relate to human physiology
5. Explain the role of catabolic and anabolic reactions involving carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and ATP in the human body
6. Identify major events in the life cycle of a cell
7. Identify major cellular structures and explain their functions
8. Identify and describe the four basic tissues of the body, and subtypes of each, and explain their functions
9. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the integumentary system and explain their functions and the functions of the system
10. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the skeletal system and explain their functional roles in: osteogenesis, repair body support, protection and movement mineral and energy storage and hematopoiesis
11. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the muscular system, and explain their functional roles in body movement, maintenance of posture and heat production
12. Explain in detail the microscopic and molecular anatomy of skeletal muscle and the physiology of its contraction. Compare the anatomy and physiology of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle
13. Distinguish between energy utilization pathways in fast, slow, and intermediate fiber types
14. Use appropriate nomenclature in describing the ultrastructure and physiology of skeletal muscle
15. Distinguish between the two main structural divisions of the nervous system (CNS and PNS) and its two main functional divisions (SNS and ANS). Identify functions of designated regions of the brain
16. Identify and describe the major components of the autonomic nervous system with emphasis on structural and physiological differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions; trace a typical reflex arc
17. Describe neurophysiology, including the mechanism of resting membrane potential, initiation and propagation of action potentials and impulse transmission across a synapse
18. Name and describe functions of the cranial and spinal nerves, plexuses, meninges, CSF and tract pathways.
19. Describe the classification of receptors and their roles
20. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the eye and ear and explain their functional roles in vision, hearing and equilibrium
21. Identify and locate the receptors responsible for olfaction and gustation and describe the physiology of smell and taste
22. Integrate the entire set of systems studied to-date
LABORATORY OUTCOMES
1. Review basic microscopy techniques including focusing, illumination, contrast, measuring and reviewing parts of the microscope and other microscopy terminology
2. Predict the effect of concentration differences on movement through semi-permeable membranes
3. Draw and label the characteristics of the following epithelial tissues: simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, non-keratinized stratified squamous, keratinized stratified squamous, pseudostratified ciliated columnar and transitional
4. Draw and label the characteristic cell types and features of the following connective tissues: areolar, reticular, elastic, dense irregular, dense regular, adipose, hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, fibrocartilage and osseus (bone). Highlight the structural units (i.e. osteon) and all associated coverings where appropriate (i.e. perichondrium, periosteum)
5. Draw and label the characteristic features of cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle tissues including the fascia associated with muscle tissue organization
6. Draw and label the characteristic features of a giant multipolar neuron and associated neuroglia
7. Identify designated bones and landmarks in the human skeleton
8. Identify designated skeletal muscles and describe their function.”
9. Describe and identify designated CNS structures, blood supply to the brain (cerebral arterial circle) and cranial nerves using an animal brain and/or a model of a human brain
10. Describe and demonstrate special sense physiology tests such as visual acuity, “blind spot”, nystagmus, hearing, equilibrium, olfaction, taste and cutaneous sensation
11. Identify on models and/or with a mammal’s eye the three tunics and their respective structures and describe the function of each structure
12. Identify on models the three regions of the human ear and their respective structures and describe the function of each structure
