MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE

SC 2116 Anatomy and Physiology II

Laboratory Syllabus

                                                                                                Anne Miller

Description:                The laboratory accompanies the lecture section of Anatomy      

                                    and Physiology II and designed to supplement and strengthen   

                                    the lecture material.  Each week, you will have a hands-on                    

                                    experience with the concepts being studied.  The Eye and Ear                                     sections offer microscopic and gross anatomy followed by                                     physiological tests.  The Respiratory exercise integrates                                     Spirometry with the physiology presented in lecture.  There are                                     five weeks of in depth experiments on the Cardiovascular System                                     followed by three weeks on the Digestive System.  The Urogenital                                     System and Embryology exercises supplement and apply the                                                     lecture material.

Grading:                     25% of the grade you receive in SC 2116 is based on your                  

                                    laboratory performance.  You will pass in a report one             

                                    week after completion of the lab.  Each report represents                     

                                    20 points towards your lab grade.

Attendance:                You are expected to attend each laboratory and if a problem    

                                    arises please arrange with me to attend another lab or work on

                                    your own as each laboratory missed is a 10% loss on your                                                                   laboratory grade.

Laboratory Manual:

                                    Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual 2^nd  ed. Anne Miller

Pedagogy                    The intended audience for this manual is the student with some
biology and chemistry backround who is interested in the study of         
the normal human body.  The manual states the objectives for each       
session and gives a detailed protocol for investigation.  Embedded in each exercise are relevant questions and data sheets that provide a deeper understanding of the theory or system being studied.  The emphasis is on learning through active participation and deductive reasoning.  

Collaboration, discussion, and questioning with laboratory partners is recommended and strongly encouraged. Years of student input and expressed apprehensions have led to the development of an intuitive and user friendly manual that is self-paced, inclusive, and individualized.

Table of Contents

            The following exercises are designed to complement the lectures of Anatomy and Physiology II and make optimum use of the equipment available in the laboratory and the computer room.   Each laboratory was written to reinforce the structure/function relationship of the system and provide the student with a user-friendly protocol that is suitable for the time constraints and complexity of the course.
