HUMAN ANATOMY BIOL 3214, Fall Semester 2019

Course Introduction

If you saw a photo taken from somewhere inside your own body, would you recognize it? Would you be able to identify the different parts in the photo or know what they do and how they connect to each other? This course will introduce you to yourself like no other course on campus. You will learn the different anatomical systems (e.g., skeletal, muscular, and digestive) that comprise your body, the scientific names for the structures within each, and also details about how your organs function together to make the living, human body that will be yours for the rest of your life.

In addition to gaining self-knowledge, this human anatomy course will prepare you for more advanced study in a variety of health-related fields. For many such fields, you will dissect a human cadaver as part of your training. In our labs, you will use human bones, a plasticized human cadaver, human models, and a cadaver dissection computer program called Anatomy and Physiology Revealed. You will also dissect a mink and organs from mammals whose structures are homologous to those in humans. Lecture and labs complement one another, and both are essential to your success in mastering human anatomy.

Saladin (6th ed), Anatomy & Physiology Revealed 4.0, and Connect by

McGraw-Hill. All accessed through Canvas and purchased via the Direct Bill program for OSU. Hardcopy of textbook strongly encouraged (various options, older editions are fine). Optional Resources: Dissection Guide and Atlas to the Mink, by David G. Smith and Michael P. Schenk, Revised Edition (2000) Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book, 2nd ed. by John T. Hansen (2014) Dictionary of Word Roots and Combining Forms, by Donald J. Borror (1960) A Brief Atlas of the Human Body, by Matt Hutchinson, et al. (2007) A Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy, 3rd ed. by Paul A. Krieger (2013)

Exams and Lab Practicals (See Schedule for Dates) Lecture Exams. Each of the lecture exams will consist of a combination of multiple choice and fill-in the blank questions. The final exam will include a section focused on new material and will also include new comprehensive questions covering the course as a whole. At the end of the semester, I will substitute your final exam percentage (assuming it is higher) for your lowest lecture exam. For each exam, bring your student ID card, a general purpose NCS answer sheet (orange), and a #2 pencil. There are no makeup exams. If you miss 1 of the 3 midterm exams, this will be the exam that the final exam percentage replaces. In other words, if you are sick, on vacation, or have a family emergency, you are already covered. If you miss a second exam, however, you will receive a zero on that exam. For this reason, I strongly discourage you from missing any exam. If you know that you have a conflict with an exam date due to an official university-sponsored sports activity or military training, you may be able to take an early exam at my discretion. Contact me at least one week prior to the conflict. Lab Practicals. The four lab practicals will be scheduled for 50-minute blocks on the following FRIDAYS: 9/20, 10/11, 11/15, and 12/6. During Week 2, you will sign up for a specific Friday lab practical time that you will keep for the duration of the semester. Be sure to clear your work and personal schedules for these four times—with a course of this size, we cannot accommodate switches and make-up practicals. In the case of an emergency, contact Dr. Towner. All four practicals count towards your final grade. Attendance and Class Attention Diligent attendance is highly recommended in order for you to master the course material. If you do miss lecture, please ask a classmate for notes, as I do not share my personal lecture notes with students. Attendance during labs is required and will factor into your lab activity points. If you must miss lab due to illness or an extenuating circumstance, contact your TA ahead of time and consult the lab syllabus for further instructions.

It is critical for both your learning and the students around you that you minimize distractions during lectures. Please avoid talking with your neighbors or asking them to clarify something. Instead, raise a hand to ask me any time you have questions about the material or didn't catch something. Turn your phone off and keep it put away, and only use your laptop to take notes. Do your best to arrive on time, and please don't start packing up to go until the lecture is over. Please be respectful to others and to me, and I will do my best to offer the same attention and respect to you. Class Accessibility If you need accommodations to support your full participation and success in this course, please contact me in person or by e-mail during the first week of the semester. The TAs and I are committed to working with you to meet your learning needs. OSU resources to draw on include the OSU Testing Center and the Office of Student Disability Services (for verification letters of specific accommodations), as well as University Counseling Services (e.g., for test anxiety, periods of crisis, and every day mental health). We are Here to Help We very much want you to succeed in this course and are here to help. Even if you don't have a specific question, please stop by my office hours to introduce yourself. Also be sure to see us as soon as possible if you feel like you are struggling in lecture or labs. We can help clarify concepts and suggest ways to improve your study strategies. Keep in mind that you should make this effort early in the semester while there is still plenty of time for you to make adjustments and get extra help. This class requires a sustained effort all semester long. There is no extra-credit at the end of the semester to make up for lost ground.

Human Anatomy Study Tips (compiled by Dr. Towner, many influences) Here are some of the ideas that I regularly share with students in my OHs. We all have different approaches that suit us, so experiment with what works best for you.

Attend every lecture, arrive on time, take thorough notes and draw along with me, sit near the front of the class, and ask questions. The lectures are only 50-minutes long, so give those minutes your undivided attention. Turn off the phones, no texting from your laps, and use your laptop for taking notes only!

First and foremost, learning anatomy requires a serious commitment of TIME. This time is ideally spread out in short, repeated sessions over the weeks (plural) before each exam and not crammed into the last day or two. Begin and end each study session with brief review of material you’ve previously studied, then concentrate on new material. Think about learning as practicing retrieval of knowledge, not just passive storage. Use old exams as prompts for this practice, as well as some of the following tips.

Form and participate in a weekly study group. Commit to a time and place and keep to it. Use the study group to review difficult concepts and quiz each other. Write practice exam questions and exchange them. Use it as a dedicated time to study anatomy and remove other distractions. (See phone comment above.)

Don’t try to read the textbook like you would a book for a literature or history course. Instead, use the textbook as you would a reference book; skim and go back-and-forth between chapters as necessary; read the chapter summaries, highlighting those most relevant to lecture material; use a special color highlighter reserved just for lecture terms and find them in the book (good preparation for fill-in-the blank questions!).

Really use the figures in your books, don’t just look at them. When you review lecture notes, find the related figures and redraw them yourself, including the essential labels. Your drawings don’t have to be perfect. Have fun—even cartoon-like drawings will help you remember details. You can also make up mnemonics (or find them online) and add those to your drawings (e.g., for the carpal bones).

If you know that they work well for you, make index cards. Put the term on one side and the meaning and/or a small figure on the other, then use BOTH SIDES as you study. Ask yourself not only if you know what each term means (very useful for multiple-choice questions, including identifying false statements), but also if you can go from the meaning to the term (as on fill-in-the blank questions). Make new cards after each lecture. Note that many pre-made index cards are available to purchase—although these may be good when you get to professional school, for a new anatomy student, using your own brain to make the cards will help you organize your thinking and learn as you go. (The same goes for quizlets.)

You are in the process of learning a new language. What do the word roots mean? Say the words out loud; say the words while you touch or point to the location on your body; say the words to your roommates, friends, and study partners. Handwrite out the words multiple times, both to help with spelling and also to be able to access those words when you need them. If you use index cards or a study partner to practice fill-in-the blank questions, write down your answers and check your spelling. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—figuring out what you don't know and correcting those mistakes aids learning!

First you need to build the foundation (names of structures, where they are, what they do). Then, think about how different structures relate to each other. Try drawing “concept maps” (using arrows) of related terms; arrange note cards on the table or floor, for example to show the path a bite of food will take as it goes through the digestive system. Do this along with your directional terms (e.g., is the esophagus superior or inferior to the pharynx?). It’s also important to know how different systems relate to one another (e.g., reproductive and urinary systems, in males and females).

Don’t put yourself down over early stumbles or allow yourself to think that you are going to do poorly. Visualize yourself going into the exam, knowing your stuff, and getting all the answers down with confidence. Really psych yourself up—pretend you are an OSU athlete preparing for an event. Take care of yourself, especially the day before the exam. Exercise, get a good night’s sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast. And remember, no one is perfect, and we all have more to learn. Have fun!

4 lab demonstrations: dissection reviews and structure drawings (8 points each; 32 points total)

13 lab activities: pre-labs (3 pts each lab) and participation (3 pts each lab); (78 points total)

Preparation for Lab

Each lab unit will include lab guides and other material posted online. Read each lab guide ahead of time and bring a copy with you to lab. Each guide includes a structure list—these lists are extremely important and tell you exactly what structures are required (i.e., fair game) for each lab practical. You will also find weekly pre-lab questions on Connect to warm up for each lab. To earn credit, these must be submitted through Connect by Monday at 9am before each week's lab. You may attend an alternate lab section once per semester if you have a family emergency, illness, school interview, car problem, wedding, etc. Please contact both your TA as soon as possible, as well as the substitute TA ahead of time, to let them know and make arrangements. Participation requires being on time, staying, and working productively with other students—this is how you will earn participation points. Be present and focused in lab and contribute to the learning environment. The expectation is that you will stay through the full lab period. Your TA will say when it is appropriate to start cleaning up. For lab demonstrations, your table will focus on a subset of the structure list and will demonstrate to the TA and other students the structures of a specific organ or dissected region. Each student will also document the region with a carefully labelled sketch (turned in at the start of the following lab). Your TA will provide more information and determine the specific assignments each week.

Lab Rules and Etiquette

To respect body donors, there will be no cell phones allowed out during the majority of lab. Think of this as practice for the future—maintaining patient confidentiality is extremely important in healthcare settings, as is focusing on the person in front of you.

Towards the end of some labs, your TA will allow you to use your phones for a short period of time for you to take pictures of your completed dissections. We will provide photos of lab models. You will also find many high quality images and videos of dissections online.

Handle all bones, specimens, and dissection tools with care and respect. Never point to bones or models with pens or pencils—these leave marks that are very difficult to remove. Use both hands to carry microscopes, heavy models, and skulls.

Please keep lab safe and in good condition. First aid is available if you have a cut—also be sure to notify your TA. Report any breaks or microscope issues, take your time during dissections, clean up any spills, and wipe down your lab areas when you are finished.

Other than a water bottle, no food or drink is allowed in lab. If you need a short break for a snack or to check your phone, just step outside for a few minutes.

Please be considerate of your lab partners—come prepared and don’t rush to clean-up early and leave. Laptops will be allowed at tables but should stay focused on anatomy. This is not the time for Netflix, the Thunder game, online shopping, or any number of things we've seen.

A Little More Advice for Getting the Most from Lab

You have three hours, so don’t just glance over the material—use your lab time to actually interact with and learn the material. Include blank paper in your notebook for drawing and labeling pictures; quiz your classmates; ask your TA questions; prepare for demonstrations. Students who leave early almost always regret it when they get to the practical. It is to your advantage to make the most of your lab time.

The pre-lab questions on Connect are also for your benefit. Although the points may seem small, they do add up to a meaningful contribution by the end of the semester. Many of the questions also relate to important concepts and structures that are likely to show up not only on lab practicals but on lecture exams.

Finally, remember that preparing for lab practicals is like training for a marathon. You will crash-and-burn if you try to cram all of your preparation into the day before the big event. You are also not alone—you have fellow runners and a support team, as well as a variety of resources to use in practice. Take advantage of these and have fun!
