4. Course Description:
Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology. The UAF Catalogue describes the topic of this course
as follows: Integrated view of human structure and function for students in pre-professional allied
health programs, biology, physical education, psychology and art. Biology III , which covers cells,
tissues and organs, skeletal and muscle systems, the nervous system and integument, is a required
prerequisite. This course will cover the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory and
reproductive systems.
The goal of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory,
digestive, excretory and reproductive systems in humans. This course is designed as the first
encounter with these physiological systems of human biology. Anatomy is the study of the bodily
structure of an organism. Physiology is the biological study of the functions of a living organism and its
2
B.E. Taylor, 2006
parts. Thus, as you began in Biology 111, we will continue to study the structure and function of the
human body
5. Course Goals:
The overall goal of this course is for the student to gain a fundamental working knowledge of human
anatomy and physiology. Specific areas of student development include achieving an understanding of:
1. the endocrine system
2. the circulatory system
3. the respiratory system
4. the digestive system
5. the excretory system
6. the reproductive system
6. Instructional Methods:
1. Lecture and Discussion. I will lecture, and we will discuss the basic concepts of Human Anatomy
and Physiology. An important source for this information is from written material contained in the
text, Anatomy and Physiology, 2"* Edition (Elaine Marieb, April 23 2004, ISBN: 0716743396).
Note that this is not a current edition and used copies should be readily available. Earlier or later
editions may be acceptable, although page references will be given for the 2"dEdition. A personal
computer running at least Windows 95 or Mac OS 7.5.3 is required to use the interactive CD that is
included with the textbook. The CD is a useful supplement, although there will be no assigned use
of the CD.
Material presented in lecture will cover some but not all of the course subject matter. You are
expected to read the assigned textbook chapters, to attend the lectures, laboratories and tutorial
sessions. The textbook and the lectures together define the material you will be tested on in
the quizzes and final exam.
2. Laboratory. Weekly laboratories will be held. These will consist of doing selected exercises from
the laboratory manual Human Anatomy and Physiology, custom edition for the University of
Alaska Fairbanks, Elaine Marieb, 2005, ISBN: 0536832684 as well as exercises from the
PhysioEx 5.0 CD companion to the laboratory manual. A personal computer running at least
Windows 95 or Mac OS 7.5.3 is required to use the interactive CD that is included with the
laboratory manual.
Class Participation is required. If for any reason you are not able to attend a specific class
meeting, you will be responsible for catching up with the material covered during the absence. I will
make a subjective assessment of each student's class participation, and assign a grade (5% of
the final grade) during final evaluation. Tardiness, absenteeism, inattentiveness, and unfamiliarity
with course material will all negatively impact this subjective assessment. If you are required to
participate in either (a) military or (b) UAF-required activities that will cause you to miss class, you
must notify me as soon as possible before your absence. Of course, these will not negatively
impact the subjective assessment of class participation.
4. Blackboard Page. Several learning resources will be available on the course webpage on
Blackboard:
a. A copy of my lecture slides will be posted just prior to their presentation.
b. Answers to the quiz questions will be posted after the quizzes have been taken.
3
B.E. Taylor, 2006
c. The course webpage will contain links to other instructional and informative pages related to
class material. These will be added for your benefit but are not assigned reading.
d. A copy of this syllabus is posted.
3. Quizzes. There will be eight quizzes during the semester, four in the lecture portion of the course
and four in the loboratory portion of the course. These quizzes will not be cumulative. They will
test your knowledge of the lecture and laboratory subjects to the depth covered in the text and
laboratory manual, respectively. You need access to text material to be fully prepared for all tests.
Each quiz will be composed of consist of multiple choice questions and short answer problems.
The value of each quiz toward the final grade is given below in Section 9 Evaluation. One full
lecture period will be allotted for each quiz.
4. Final Exam. The final exam will be held Wednesday, May 10 from 1:OO-3:OOpm. The final exam
will be a cumulative test of your knowledge of course material. The exam may consist of multiple
choice questions and short answer problems. The value of the final exam toward the final grade is
given below in Section 9 Evaluation.

8. Course Policies
As a UAF student, you are subject to the Student Code of Conduct. In accordance with Board of
Regents' Policy 09.02.01, UAF will maintain an academic environment in which the freedom to teach,
conduct research, learn, and administer the university is protected. Students will enjoy maximum
benefit from this environment by accepting responsibilities commensurate with their role in the
academic community. The principles of the Code are designed to facilitate communication, foster
academic integrity, and defend freedoms of inquiry, discussion, and expression among members of the
university community. You should become familiar with campus policies and regulations as published
in the student handbook.
5
B.E. Taylor, 2006
6"
UAF requires students to conduct themselves honestly and responsibly, and to respect the rights of
others. Conduct that unreasonably interferes with the learning environment or that violates the rights of
others is prohibited. Students and student organizations will be responsible for ensuring that they and
their guests comply with the Code while on property owned or controlled by the university or at
activities authorized by the university.
Disciplinary action may be initiated by the university and disciplinary sanctions imposed against any
student or student organization found responsible for committing, attempting to commit, or intentionally
assisting in the commission of any of the following prohibited forms of conduct:
A. cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty;
B. forgery, falsification, alteration, or misuse of documents, funds, or property;
C. damage or destruction of property;
D. theft of property or services;
E. harassment;
F. endangerment, assault, or infliction of physical harm;
G. disruptive or obstructive actions;
H. misuse of firearms, explosives, weapons, dangerous devices, or dangerous chemicals;
I. failure to comply with university directives;
J. misuse of alcohol or other intoxicants or drugs;
K. violation of published university policies, regulations, rules, or procedures; or
L. any other actions that result in unreasonable interference with the learning environment or the rights
of others.
This list is not intended to define prohibited conduct in exhaustive terms, but rather to set forth
examples to serve as guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Honesty is a primary responsibility of you and every other UAF student. The following are common
guidelines regarding academic integrity:
1. Students will not collaborate on any quizzes, in-class exams, or take-home exams that will
contribute to their grade in a course, unless permission is granted by the instructor of the course.
Only those materials permitted by the instructor may be used to assist in quizzes and examinations.
2. Students will not represent the work of others as their own. A student will attribute the source of
information not original with himself or herself (direct quotes or paraphrases) in compositions,
theses and other reports.
3. No work submitted for one course may be submitted for credit in another course without the explicit
approval of both instructors.
Alleged violations of the Code of Conduct will be reviewed in accordance with procedures specified in
regent's policy, university regulations and UAF rules and procedures. For additional information and
details about the Student Code of Conduct, contact the Dean of Student Services or web
www.alaska.edu/bor/ or refer to the student handbook that is printed in the back of the class schedule
for each semester. Students are encouraged to review the entire code.

The class will be graded on a straight percentage basis: 90-100% is an A, 80-89.9% is a B, 70-79.9%
is a C, 60-69.9% is a D, and < 60% is an F. I will not grade on a curve. This means that in principle
it will be possible for everyone to get an A in this course (but of course it will also be possible for
everyone to get an F). Supplemental assignments may be provided at the discretion of the instructor.
