Preface to the Current Edition Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) is a two-semester course sequence (BIO 23 & BIO 24) offered by the Biological Sciences Department at Bronx Community College (Meister Hall 418). BIO 23 and BIO 24 are conducted in an integrated lecture-laboratory format for the study of physiological processes, as well as gross and microscopic anatomy. The six hours of class contact hours per week is equally divided between the lecture and laboratory meetings within a 14-week academic semester followed by a final lecture examination in the 15th week of the academic semester. BIO 23 covers the following topics and systems of the human organism: human structural and functional organization, basic chemistry, cell structure and function, foundations of cell metabolism, histology, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system.

BIO 24 applies essential concepts from BIO 23 in the study of the following topics and systems of the human organism: cardiovascular system, lymphatic system and immunity, respiratory system, urinary system and fluid and electrolyte balance, digestive system and metabolism, and the reproductive system.

The coordinators of the course are Prof. Abass Abdullahi, Prof. Kyeng Lee, and Prof. Carlos Liachovitzky.

This guide is the product of the collaborative effort of many faculty of the Department of Biological Sciences. It has been mutating since the first edition up to the present. This guide is a continuous work in progress thanks to the input of students and faculty of the department. Dr. Howard Fuld and Dr. Henry Hermo authored the first version in Fall 1988, and many others contributed along its history. Thanks to Dr. Maureen Gannon, who reviewed extensively the first editions; and to Dr. Nichole McDaniel, Dr. Shylaja Akkaraju, and Prof. Carlos Liachovitzky, who contributed widely with the most recent versions.

Student Expected Learning Outcomes The General Student Learning Outcomes listed below form the unifying foundation for all topics and will be emphasized throughout Human Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 23) and Human Anatomy and Physiology II (BIO 24). These general learning outcomes are adapted from material copyrighted by the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS).

General Human Anatomy and Physiology Student Learning Outcomes 1. Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology. 2. Recognize the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of body systems. 3. Recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body. 4. Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures. 5. Recognize and explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body. 6. Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and realworld situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances. 7. Demonstrate laboratory procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of each organ system. 8. Interpret graphs of anatomical and physiological data. The Specific Student Learning Outcomes listed below are specially emphasized in Human Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 23). See more specifics on page 31 of this guide.

Specific (BIO 23) Student Learning Outcomes List, identify, and classify the cellular organic macromolecules, specify the monomers for each, and explain their relevance to human structure and function. Explain basic cellular functions such as protein synthesis, cellular respiration, DNA replication, and cell division. List, describe, and differentiate how things enter and leave cells (active and passive methods of transport across membranes) Describe, differentiate and explain how cellular communication works (neuronal and endocrine) Recognize the anatomical structures, explain physiological functions, and recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis applied to the integumentary, nervous, endocrine, muscular and skeletal systems Identify and summarize the steps of the scientific method and recognize their role in the context of a laboratory experiment

Bio23 Sequence of Topics and Reading Assignments The reading assignments are given by the selected subtopics under numbered sections in the 7th edition of the textbook (Saladin).

*Your instructor may modify the standard grading. If so, s/he will announce it the first day of classes **Practical means that you will be answering questions based on real specimens and models; your instructor will describe the format in more detail Dropped Exams and Quizzes Lecture: If any one of your in-class exam scores is lower than your final exam score, then the score for the in-class exam will be dropped and the final exam will be counted twice. If your final exam score is lower than all of your other exam scores, then nothing will be dropped and the final will be worth the same as your other exams. Under no circumstances will more than one exam grade be dropped. Lab: The instructor may drop the two lowest quiz grades. Under no circumstances will the midterm or final practical exam grades be dropped Make-ups Make-up exams will not be given under any circumstances. However, if you know in advance that you must miss an exam, the instructor may allow you to take the exam early. Extra Credit Extra credit is generally discouraged, but under no circumstances is extra credit to exceed 3% of the grade. Absolutely no extra credit assignments will be given to individual students. Note: Your lecture and/or lab instructor may make changes to the number and content of assignments and exams, thus the percent distribution of grades may be different from those described above. If so, he or she will describe the grading policy to the class at the beginning of the semester.

Attendance Bronx Community College currently requires your instructor to take and file attendance records for every class. It is your responsibility to arrive at class on time and to be aware of the calendar of class meetings for your section. The Department defines excessive absences as unexcused absences of more than 20% of scheduled class time. Students with an excessive absence record will receive an automatic grade of F in the course at your instructor’s discretion. Total scheduled class time includes lab, lecture, and online attendance, as required by the particular course. Instructors also have the right to mark students absent if they arrive late or leave early from class. Instructors are not required to grade tests and other forms of assessment of students with an excessive absence record. Instructors are also not required to offer makeup exams for students absent from scheduled exams.

Registration and prerequisites It is expected that students will meet minimum prerequisites (ENG02, RDL02 and MTH 05) as described in the schedule of classes distributed by the Office of the Registrar. If you have little or no previous background in biology or chemistry, it is highly recommended that you first enroll in Medical Terminology (BIO 22), The Human Body (BIO 21), or Chemistry (CHM 02) to strengthen your background. Note: your financial aid may not cover courses that are not listed on your curriculum pattern sheet. If you are enrolled in a program that does not require BIO 21, or 22 or CHM 02, please check with your financial aid officer before registering for the course. Important! If you are seeking admission to the Nursing (RN) and other programs, you have a maximum of two attempts to achieve a C+ or greater in BIO 23. Please pay attention to the deadline for withdrawing from classes. If you are not making the grade that you need, you may withdraw so that you don’t lose one of your “attempts.”

Switching sections Students are not allowed to switch sections. This is not a decision up to your instructor, but a Biology Department policy.

Overtallying The Biology department does not overtally. This is not a decision up to your instructor, but a Biology Department policy. A section is closed once it reaches the maximum numbers of students allowed.

Credit hours and workload This course is worth four credits. It meets 6 hours per week (3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of laboratory). You should be aware of the challenge that this course will place upon your time and effort and should choose a semester schedule of classes that allows for the demands of the course. If your previous educational background does not include coursework in the sciences (more specifically in the biological sciences), you should arrange your schedule so that you have at least 12 hours a week to devote to this course.

Children College regulations and common courtesy for your classmates prohibit the presence of children in either lecture or laboratory classrooms. Furthermore, children may NOT be left unattended in the common areas outside of classrooms for their own safety. Even if you already have childcare arrangements, you might consider using the referral service offered by the BCC Early Childhood Center (ECC). They will refer you to licensed daycare providers that you can use full time or in an emergency if your regular childcare services fall through. If your child is between 2 years, 9 months and 4 years old, you may enroll him/her in the ECC preschool. Fees are adjusted according to income, but there is usually a waiting list. Lastly, for evening students with school-age children, there is an after-school program in which you can enroll your child (also for a fee). Whatever your choice, please make arrangements (and back-up arrangements) for appropriate childcare prior to class attendance. See info about the Early Childhood Center here: https://www.bcc.cuny.edu/Early-Childhood-Center/

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices Common courtesy and appropriate classroom behavior dictate that the use of cell phones (incoming and outgoing) is both rude and inappropriate at any time during class. Your cell phones should be off or on silent mode when you enter the classroom. During exams, these devices MUST be turned off. Some instructors may ask students to leave electronic devices with him/her during exams.

University Policies on Academic Dishonesty (a.k.a. cheating) Academic dishonesty is prohibited at The City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension, and expulsion, as provided here. The following are some examples of cheating, but by no means is it an exhaustive list: â&#x153;&#x201C; Copying from another student during an examination or allowing another to copy your work. Unauthorized collaboration on a take-home assignment or examination 18

✓ Using notes during a closed book examination ✓ Taking an examination for another student or asking or allowing another student to take an examination for you ✓ Changing a graded exam and returning it for more credit ✓ Submitting substantial portions of the same paper to more than one course without consulting with each instructor ✓ Preparing answers or writing notes in a blue book (exam booklet) before an examination ✓ Allowing others to research and write assigned papers or do assigned projects, including use of commercial term paper services ✓ Giving assistance to acts of academic misconduct/dishonesty ✓ Fabricating data (all or in part) ✓ Submitting someone else's work as your own ✓ Unauthorized use during an examination of any electronic devices such as cell phones, palm pilots, computers or other technologies to retrieve or send information.

Instructor and Student Responsibilities Anatomy and physiology are fascinating subjects, but also quite challenging. This outline of instructor and student responsibilities is intended to help you navigate the course and all of its requirements to maximize your success and minimize your frustration. INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITIES It is the instructor’s responsibility to: 1. Start and end class on time. The instructor should not hold the class significantly beyond the end of class, nor should he or she dismiss class excessively early. 2. Conduct class in a manner that is unbiased and respectful. 3. Present relevant material. The instructor should present the material that is most important for you to learn and understand in your study of A&P. The method (PowerPoint, chalkboard) and style (lecture, skits, worksheets, etc) that your instructor uses is entirely up to him or her. 4. Notify you of changes to the syllabus. The instructor may decide to change the number, timing or coverage of exams, or to otherwise adjust the syllabus. In such cases, the instructor must notify students by making an announcement in class of the change(s). The instructor is not responsible for students who do not hear the announcement because they were either not present or not paying attention. 5. Give and grade exams in a timely fashion. The instructor should notify students when they can expect to receive graded exams. However, the time required to grade exams will vary according to the nature of the exam (scantron, short answer, essay, etc.). 6. Be available during scheduled office hours. The instructor will have scheduled office hour(s) during which he or she is expected to be in his or her office to address student concerns. If these times do not work for you, you may request that your professor schedule an appointment with you at another time. Your instructor is NOT required to: i. give handouts or provide lecture notes ii. return exams or quizzes for you to keep iii. give review sessions or review sheets

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES We hear over and over again “I failed because I had a bad instructor.” While few would argue that a great instructor makes being in the class more exciting, no instructor is responsible for your failure or your success; both depend on the amount and quality of work you put into the course. Ultimately, your performance in this and any class is your responsibility—it is squarely on your own shoulders. To that end, it is your responsibility to: 1. Prepare. Read the material for lecture and for laboratory at least once before you come to class. Use lab and lecture handouts to focus your reading on the most important topics. Observe the various diagrams, figures and tables and correlate each to the text. Take notes while you read. Write any questions that you think of in the margins or in your notebook. 2. Be present. Attend every class session and be there on time. Many instructors begin class by taking attendance. If you are late for this, it is your responsibility to notify the instructor after class that you were present. If you miss class time, it is your responsibility to get the material that you missed from your classmates; you should also make sure that you ask if there were any important announcements. If you miss an entire class, you should—at a minimum—arrange to copy notes from a classmate. You may also arrange to sit in on another instructor’s lecture with permission from that instructor. 3. Pay attention. Lecturing will take place in both the lecture and laboratory classrooms. Listen carefully. Take clear notes in phrase form (don’t try to write complete sentences). Consider using a tape recorder to tape lectures (ask your instructor for permission first). Keep at it; taking good notes is a skill that you will get better at over time. 4. Respect others in the class. If you’re talking, texting, giggling or snoring, it’s harder for everyone else in the class to pay attention. It’s also harder for the instructor to keep the flow of explanation. If you must come to class late (or need to leave early), choose a seat that causes the least disruption to the class. 5. Know important dates. Do not rely on your instructor to remind you of upcoming exams and important deadlines. Knowing these dates is your responsibility. You should know the dates of your exams, deadlines for other assignments, drop deadlines, and any class dates that have been rescheduled on a non-scheduled day (i.e. Friday classes being give on a Tuesday). 6. Keep track of your grades. Record your grades in this handout. Calculate your average every couple of weeks to see how you’re doing. Ask your instructor if you aren’t sure. If your grade comes as a surprise to you at the end of the semester, it’s your fault. 7. Work hard outside of class. This is perhaps the most important factor relating to your success in the class. As much as possible, minimize other time commitments in your life. Keep in mind that for a 3-hour lecture, instructors spend (on average) 6-9 hours outside of class preparing—and they already know the material. How much time should you spend? Consider doing some or all of the following, but rest assured that if you do nothing outside of class, you will have wasted a semester of A&P. a. Within 24 hours of class, review or rewrite your notes being sure to fill in any missing information and correct any misspelled words. As you re-write your notes, pay attention to when something is confusing. Write your question(s) in your notes and leave space to answer it later when you come back to your notes. Then make sure that you either look in your book, or on the internet, or ask your instructor. b. Watch the videos and animations that are on the CD that comes with your textbook. These often help to illustrate some of the more complicated concepts in the course. Look for websites online that explain the topics that were covered in class. Sometimes hearing or seeing something explained another way will help you remember it. 20

c. Form study groups. Numerous studies have shown that we learn best by explaining concepts to someone else. These same studies frequently show improvements of 20% or more on grade averages for students that learn in groups. Don’t be embarrassed to form a group because you think you’re weak, and don’t think that you won’t benefit from group study because you’re a strong student. Groups help everyone. d. Quiz yourself. Quiz your classmates. Use study questions from the lecture guides, use online and CD quizzes, copy diagrams with the labels covered up, answer questions from the back of the book. The more active you are, the better your brain will learn it. Don’t just re-read your notes. e. Play to your strengths. Figure out your learning styles or preferences (see page 14). Try to incorporate those preferences into how you study. Try various ways of exposing yourself to the information. Consider using a tape recorder to record lectures or make study sheets or flash cards to take out every time you’re sitting still for more than a few minutes (like on the train or bus). 8. Do your own work. While it certainly helps to study with others, relying on someone else’s notes won’t help you much at all—even if the notes are from your instructor. Your brain learns by doing. 9. Don’t fall behind. Don’t wait to get started until week 2 or 3 just because it doesn’t seem like a lot of material at first. If something is unclear, ask a question. If you’re struggling, don’t be embarrassed—ask for help early. If you wait too long, it may be too late. You should talk to your instructor if you’re having a very hard time, but you can also try the following: a. Learning Resource Center is located on the first floor of Sage Hall (behind Meister Hall). It has videos and animations for all of the major concepts covered in A&P. Some tutoring is also available. b. Biology Study Lab is in Meister 418 and is stocked with models, slides and microscopes, and computers. Tutors are available, and many of your instructors volunteer to spend time in the study lab to provide extra help. Hours are usually posted during the second week of the semester. 10. Give feedback to your instructor(s). If there is anything your instructor can do to help you succeed in the course, or to improve the course, please bring it to his or her attention. We value and depend on your constant feedback to make this course the best that it can be for all of our students.

End of Spring Term College Closed Final Grade Submission Deadline

Lecture Final Exams are scheduled from May 16 until May 22. Check for updates of the Final Examination Schedule at http://www.bcc.cuny.edu/services/registrar/final-exam-schedule/. As the actual exam times are not scheduled until approximately mid-way through the semester, please do not make travel plans that conflict with any part of the final exam week. Lab midterms and lab finals occur during the regularly scheduled lab period (7th week and 14th week, respectively), regardless of whether they occur during the college’s scheduled midterm week. There is no “midterm exam” for lecture. Your midterm grade is simply the weighted average of your grades thus far in the semester. Final exams during final exam week are for lecture only.

Frequently Asked Questions PREREQUISITES

is less expensive and easier to handle than the hard copy.

Q: What are the Bio23 prerequisites? A: ENG02, RDL02 and MTH 05. We also highly recommend that you take BIO21; BIO22, and/or CHM02 before taking Bio23 if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken any Biology course before. Double check you financial aid situation first.

Q: Is there an online version of the textbook? A: Yes. Go to http://www.coursesmart.com/0077676653 to rent ebook. It allows you to search, highlight, copy/paste, print, etc. The subscription lasts one year. See the website above for more info.

Q: What are the Bio24 prerequisites? A: Bio23. We also highly recommend taking Bio24 only if you have C+ or higher grade in Bio23.

Q: Is the textbook available at the library? Yes. There are a few textbooks available at the library on reserve. Also, you can obtain the first three chapters and the atlas through electronic reserves at http://tiny.cc/eRatBCC

Q: Can I take both Bio23 and Bio24 together? A: No. COURSE MATERIAL AND LAB MANUAL

GRADES Q: Where can I get the Course Guide and Lab Manual from? A: (1) Download it from Electronic Reserves at the BCC Library Website http://tiny.cc/eRatBCC OR (2) Download it from the A&P online course companion http://tiny.cc/B2324CG

Q: How do I calculate my overall grade? A: You can calculate your grade using the formula below. The formula uses a 0-100 grade scale. Double check with your instructor about minor changes in his/her lab grade breakdown. Adjust the formula to your instructor grading breakdown. Overall Grade = Lab Grade x 0.4 + Lecture Grade x 0.6 Lecture Grade = (E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 + Final) / 5 Note that final exam will count twice by replacing the lowest/absent lecture exam grade. Lab Grade = Midterm x 0.30 + Final x 0.30 + Quizzes x 0.40

TEXTBOOK Q: Can I use an older version of Saladin 8th Edition? A: Yes. Just be aware that when your instructor refers to pages or figures in the 8th edition, they might differ from yours.

See BCC Grading system http://tiny.cc/BCCGrading

Q: Can I use a different textbook (other authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s)? A: Yes, but double check with your instructor. There is a free textbook available at http://tiny.cc/OpenETxtbook

Q: Why no one told me about my grade until the end of the semester? A: Because it is your responsibility to keep track of your grades. You should ask your instructor for clarification at the BEGINNING of the semester, not at the end, when it might be too late to plan for changes. See how to calculate your grade above.

Q: Where can I purchase the textbook? A: The hardcopy of the textbook is available at the BCC bookstore, and at many online stores. The BCC bookstore also has a lose-leaf version, which

Q: What is the passing grade? 27

A: Like most courses at BCC, the passing grade is 60 (D-). HOWEVER, many programs at BCC (e.g. Nursing, Radiology, and Nuclear Medicine) require a C+ or higher to be accepted into the program.

exam and failing the course will receive an automatic grade of F in the course. Q: How do I get a W in the course? A: To receive a grade of W students must officially withdraw from class between the 3rd and 10th week, by filing an online withdrawal form (via CUNYFirst). Neither the Department nor your instructor can assign or change your grade to a W.

Q: I don't want a C grade or lower, can the professor give me an F? A: No. The professor cannot manipulate your grade. You will only get an F in the course if your grades average below 60. A very low grade in the lecture final exam will very likely bring your grade average to an F.

ATTENDANCE/LATENESS Q: Is attendance mandatory? A: Yes. Students with an excessive absence record will receive an automatic F in the course. The Department defines excessive absence as having missed more than three scheduled classes.

Q: I got my Midterm Gradeâ&#x20AC;Ścan I still get a C+?! A: Here is a rule of thumb: If your Midterm Grade is 70, then you need to get AT LEAST 84 in ALL the remaining assignments (Lecture Exam 3, Lecture Exam 4, Lecture Final, Lab Quizzes, Lab Final and any other assignment your instructor gives you). Doable, but you need to significantly increase the amount of time you spend studying and reviewing in an effective way. If your Midterm Grade is 65, then you need to get AT LEAST 89 in ALL the remaining assignments (Lecture Exam 3, Lecture Exam 4, Lecture Final, Lab Quizzes, Lab Final and any other assignment). Highly unlikely to happen. Almost no one makes it If your Midterm Grade is 60, then you need to get AT LEAST 94 in ALL the remaining assignments (Lecture Exam 3, Lecture Exam 4, Lecture Final, Lab Quizzes, Lab Final and any other assignment). Almost impossible

Q: What about lateness? A: Instructors have the right to mark students absent if (1) students arrive 15 or more minutes late on three occasions, and/or (2) students leave 15 or more minutes early before the class ends. LAB MIDTERM and LAB FINAL Q: When is the lab midterm/lab final? A: You can find the dates on the calendar in the handout given to you the first week of classes, in the A&P Bulletin Board on the 4th floor of Meister Hall, and in the A&P website. Lab Midterm is the 7th week of classes, and lab final the 14th. Q: If I missed a lab, can I go to another section taught by another professor to make it up? A: This is up to your instructor. It also depends on availability of space on other lab section, and the willingness of other instructor to let you sit in her/his lab. Consult with you instructor.

Q: Can I get an incomplete (INC) in the course? A: An INC grade is only assigned to students who miss the course final exam AND are otherwise passing the course AND have an excused absence approved by the instructor from the course final exam. Students have until the 10th week of the following semester to resolve the INC grade.

Q: Can I drop the lab midterm or the lab final? A: No

Q: How did I end up with an F in the course!!!? A: You fail the course if you have an average below 60. In addition to students who academically fail the course (1) Students who attend at least two class periods but unofficially stop attending will receive an automatic grade of F in the course, or (2) Students who are absent from any course final

Q: Can I make up the lab midterm or the lab final? A: No. Consult your professor in case of an emergency. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to document the reason of your absence. LECTURE FINAL EXAM 28

A: Because this is the Bio23/24 policy, which might or might not coincide with other courses/departments policies.

Q: Is the lecture final exam cumulative? A: Yes. This means that the final covers ALL the topics seen during the entire semester (i.e. first class to last class).

SWITCHING SECTIONS

Q: I have to travel during finals; can I make up the final? A: No. The week of finals is posted in the CUNY academic calendar website (http://www.cuny.edu/academics/calendars.html) more than one year in advance. You should be able to plan well in advance. Consult your professor in case of an emergency. You’ll need to document the reason of your absence.

Q: Can I switch sections? A: No

Q: Can I make up the lecture final exam? A: No. Only in the case of a well-documented emergency you might qualify for an incomplete grade (INC). An INC grade is only assigned to students who miss the course final exam AND are otherwise passing the course AND have an instructor approved excused absence from the course final exam. Students have until the 11th week of the following semester to resolve and INC grade. Consult with you instructor.

Q: Are instructors required to provide handouts? A: No. It is up to each instructor’s criterion, style, and pedagogic philosophy.

Q: Can I drop the lecture final exam? A: No

Q: Is it better to take Anatomy and Physiology during the summer or during the regular academic semester? A: This depends on your schedule and the amount of time you have to designate for study and review. You should be aware that the summer course moves at a faster pace as opposed to the fall/spring course, so you must be certain that your schedule will allow you adequate time to prepare. Additionally, you should speak with a Biology professor to determine which will work best for you. You can think it his way: Fall/Spring sessions are like a full-time job. Summer sessions are like a fulltime job with plenty of overtime, think summer equals two full time jobs.

Q: Why not? A: Because this is a Biological Sciences Department policy. HANDOUTS AND RETURNED EXAMS AND QUIZZES

Q: Are instructors required to give exams back? A: No. It is up to each instructor’s criterion, style, and pedagogic philosophy. SUMMER SESSION SESSIONS

LECTURE EXAM MAKEUPS Q: Can I make up the lecture exam? A: No. If you know in advance you will be missing an exam, tell your professor. (S)he might allow you to take it in advance. Consult with you instructor. EXTRA CREDIT Q: Can I do an extra credit assignment to raise my grade? A: No. There are no extra credit assignments in Bio23/Bio24. Q: My other professor in other department let me do extra credit assignments, why can’t I do it in Bio23/24?

vs.

FALL/SPRING

STUDYING FOR A&P Q: How much should I study to get a C+ in the course? 29

A: This is a hard one to answer. There is no onsize-fits-all rule. However, just as a guideline you can use this rule of thumb: You need to study at least 18 hours a week. More if you have no science background and don’t feel comfortable with A&P, less if you really like A&P and have some background in the sciences. See under “Student Responsibilities” in the Study Guide and Lab Manual for a more comprehensive advice.

Q: What should I do if I feel overwhelmed by the workload of A&P? A: Speak to your professor immediately if you begin to feel that the workload is overwhelming. In some cases, time management and alterations to your schedule may be necessary to free up enough time for the course work. Q: Where can I get help? A: Talk to your professor and go to your professor’s office hours. You can also go to see the tutors at the Biology Study Lab (ME418). The Study Lab counts with tutors that can help you. The Study Lab has CD-Roms with tutorials, computers with internet access, and many of the models and slides you use in the lab component of the courses. Study Lab hours are posted on the doors of the 4th floor rooms. The study lab opens after the second week of classes.

Q: Is understanding the scientific/medical terminology necessary to do well in the course? A: Absolutely! Mastery of vocabulary and terminology will provide you with greater understanding of the material you read and are exposed to in class lectures. You can reference the glossary and the lexicon in the back of the textbook or utilize additional resources, such as a medical dictionary or an online encyclopedia, to learn the terminology. Q: Can I use outside sources to supplement the A&P required textbook? A: Yes. Just be sure that the outside resources, including websites, are credible and have correct information (e.g. usually dot edu sites). If you are not certain, just ask your instructor. Also, focus on just a couple of resources (e.g. a textbook, a website you find helpful, and your notes). If you diversify a lot you will lose focus and get easily overwhelmed.

Q: What about help with technical problems? A: Check the Technology Service Center (ex-Help Desk) 718.289.5970; Roscoe Brown [RB], Room 308; http://tiny.cc/TSCatBCC Q: I have a question not answered above, where do I go for help? A: Ask you professor. If (s)he doesn’t know, (s)he can find out for you, or direct you to where to look for the answer.

Lab Activities IMPORTANT Always grasp the scope arm firmly with one hand and support the base with the other hand as you draw it from the cabinet. Always carry the instrument in an upright position; if tilted, you may lose a piece. A. ORIENTATION TO THE MICROSCOPE (15 MIN) 1. Bring a microscope to your desk. Your instructor will then go through all of the following parts of the microscope with the class. 2. Review the parts of the microscope that you labeled before coming to lab (check your pre-lab activity). Complete the following table as you locate the parts again—this time paying close attention to what each part does. Microscope Part light source

Located?

What does this part do? Use your own words

light intensity adjuster iris diaphragm adjuster substage condenser ocular (nosepiece) revolving nosepiece Objectives specimen holder (clip) mechanical stage adjustment coarse adjustment knob fine adjustment knob B. OBSERVING OBJECTS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE (35 MIN) 1. Manipulating objects in the field of view. Your instructor will give you a slide with the letter “e” on it. If there aren’t enough slides to go around, you may work with a partner. Bring the slide back to your desk and then follow the instructions below to observe it. a. Using the knob, turn on the light to the brightest setting. Open the iris diaphragm using the lever. You should see a bright light coming through the glass portion of the substage condenser (without looking through the oculars). b. Turn the objective wheel so that the 4X objective is in place. Make sure that you hear a click. If at any point in the future you don’t see a completely round circle of light when you look through the ocular, it’s probably because the objective isn’t clicked in place. c. Turn the coarse focus wheel until the stage moves far enough away from the 4X objective that you have room to get the slide into place. d. Secure the slide properly on the mechanical stage. The slide should lie flat on the stage, and should be secured at one end by the slide clip. The clip will “pinch” the slide in place from the side. The slide should not go under the clip.

- 83 -

e. Without looking into the oculars, use the stage manipulation wheels (two vertical wheels on the right side of the microscope directly below the stage) to move the stage assembly until the letter “e” is centered over the light beam. f. Use the coarse focus wheel to raise the stage until it automatically stops. g. Now look through the oculars and use the lever for the iris diaphragm (not the power dial) to reduce the light until it is comfortable, but as bright as you can take it. If the light is still too bright, you can turn the light intensity down by using the knob. h. With your eyes still at the oculars, use the coarse focus wheel to slowly lower the stage until the image comes into view. Keep moving past the image, back and forth until you get the best focus that you can with the coarse knob. i. Sharpen the focus with the fine focus wheel. You should see the letter “e” in the center (or near the center) of the field of view. j. What do you observe when you look at the letter “e” on the slide as compared to the image that you see when you look through the ocular? ________________________________________ ______________________________________________ _____________________________ k. Keep your eyes at the ocular, then use the stage manipulation wheel to move the slide to the left and then to the right. Next, move it up and down. What do you observe when you look at the letter “e” on the stage as compared to the image in view with the microscope? ____________ ______________________________________________ _____________________________ 2. Magnification and the field of view. The magnification of a compound microscope is achieved in two stages. First, the object is magnified by the power of the objective. This image is projected upward through the body tube portion where it is subjected to a second magnification by the power of the ocular. To calculate total magnification, multiply the power of the ocular by the power of the objective (e.g., a 10X ocular and a 10X objective produces a total magnification of 100X). a. Center the portion of the specimen that you wish to observe in the field of view and make sure that it is in the best focus you can get it. If you don’t do this, you may lose the specimen and have to start over at the 4X objective. b. Do NOT move the stage down. The microscope is designed to move from one objective to the next without moving the stage. Rotate the nose wheel until the next highest objective (10X) “clicks” into place. c. Look through the oculars. A fine focus adjustment might be needed to once again see the letter “e”. You can turn it several times in one direction, if nothing starts to become clear, then turn it several times back, then several times more. d. Adjust the lighting so once again you have a comfortable field of view. How does the letter “e” now appear when using this objective? How much of it do you see? _____________________ _____________________________________ _______________________________________ e. Why do you think you have to make the light brighter? _____________________ __________ _________________________ _______________________________________ ___________ f. Now repeat the steps above to move to the highest power objective (40X). If at any point you can no longer see the specimen in the field of view, simply return to the 4X objective and start over. What do you notice about the distance between the objective and the slide when you’re using the 4X objective compared to the 40X objective? ____________________________ This is called the working distance and if you ever get lost on a slide at high power when you try to focus…check this distance. Chances are that you’ve got the specimen too far away from the objective.

- 84 -

3. Depth of focus. With the letter “e” in view under the highest power, focus precisely on the print. a. Using the fine adjustment, change the focus until you can clearly see the fibers of the paper. Are the fibers brought sharply into focus when you move the stage up or down? ___________ Is the print above or below the level of the paper on your slide? ______________ b. Now return to the lowest power objective and focus on the letter “e” again. Can you see the same detail of depth now? _______This is called the depth of focus, and it’s always greater at high magnification. 4. Based on what you know about how the microscope operates, answer the following questions. a. What would be the total magnification with the ocular at 10X and the objective set at 4X? b. What would be the total magnification if you changed the objective to 10X? c. What would be the total magnification if you changed the objective to 40X? d. The field of view is the area viewed within the microscope (the circle). While the circle technically stays the same size, the amount of the specimen that fits inside it changes as magnification changes. We say that the field of view gets smaller as magnification increases. For example, the field of view with a 40X objective is (larger/smaller) than the field of view with a 10X objective. The result is that at high magnification, you see (more/less) detail, but you see (more/less) of the object. e. A 4X objective has a (larger/smaller) working distance than a 10X objective. C. PREPARING A CHEEK CELL SMEAR (30 MIN) a. b. c. d. e.

Using the toothpick, gently scrape the inside of your cheek Circle the tip of the toothpick in the methylene blue Gently lower the cover glass onto the dye preparation one side at a time (your instructor will demonstrate this technique). f. Observe under the microscope starting with the 4X objective with reduced light intensity. Once you find a cluster of cheek cells, move to the 10X then 40X objective for high power examination. g. Draw several individual cells from your cheek smear in the field of views below. Label them using the following terms: nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.

Scenario Organelle When you suffer from a cold, plasma B cells in your bloodstream are rapidly synthesizing and secreting antibodies, (specialized proteins with the ability to target the virus). Abe is an alcoholic. His liver cells are constantly detoxifying the alcohol that he consumes. A sperm cell needs a lot of energy to power its rapid movement. An osteoclast is a special type of bone cell whose function is to breakdown bone, a process known as osteolysis. Certain white blood cells such as neutrophils kill bacteria by producing hydrogen peroxide. When a pathogen is detected outside of the bloodstream, white blood cells squeeze between the cells of the blood vessel wall, requiring them to completely reshape themselves. In order to trap particles of debris and prevent them from getting deep into the lungs, cells along the respiratory tract synthesize mucus (a glycoprotein, a protein with carbohydrates).

C. MITOSIS. 1. In the following exercise, you’ll be demonstrating mitosis using pop-it bead strings. a. Your instructor will give your group one set of pop-it bead strings (See illustration on the left; 2 colors: 2 long and 2 short in each color). b. Take one long and one short string of each color (See illustration on the right). This represents the chromosomes in the cell during Interphase. Put the remainder aside for the moment. c. Arrange the chromosomes into homologous pairs (same-sized). Why can’t the cell start mitosis yet? ______________________________________ d. Take two short chromosomes of the same color and allow them to be attracted by the magnets at the middle of each string (See illustration on the right). This represents a duplicated chromosome and each pop-it bead string represents a sister chromatid. The chromatids are joined at the centromere. Do the same with the other strings. e. Once all of the strings are doubled, you’re ready to start mitosis (Prophase). f. Line up the chromosomes in a row along the mid-line or the equator of the “cell” (Metaphase). g. Drag the chromatids away from each other (Anaphase). h. Separate the chromatids completely (Telophase and Cytokinesis). i.

Meiosis (15 min) While mitosis is the most common type of cell division in the body—used for new growth, cell repair, and replacement of worn-out cells—there is another type of cell division that is equally important. In fact, without it we wouldn’t be able to reproduce. This type of cell division is called meiosis and it only occurs in the gonads for the production of gametes (sperm and eggs). In meiosis, one cell produces four daughter cells, each with half the normal number of chromosomes. This is important because if the chromosome number weren’t cut in half, then fertilization would result in a cell with 92 chromosomes instead of 46. You’ll be studying this process in much greater detail when you get to BIO 24, but it helps to have the big picture now. a. What is the purpose of meiosis?

9. What is the difference between a passive process and an active process?

10. What would it take in order for a solute to move from low concentration to high concentration (against its concentration gradient)?

11. Concentration gradients can be different sizes (more or less steep). Which solute in the figure above has the steepest concentration gradient? Which one the least steep? (Hint: for a given solute, divide the high concentration value by the low concentration value. The ratio gives you the steepness of the gradient) 12. Based on your answer to the previous question, which solute (Na+, K+, Cl-, or PO4-) would diffuse faster? Which on slower?

13. What does it mean that the plasma membrane is selectively permeable or semi-permeable? B. OSMOSIS 1. What is osmosis?

2. The diagram on the right represents a container that is separated into two compartments by a semi-permeable membrane (dotted line). This membrane is permeable to water but nothing else. Label the diagram to reflect that we are filling the chamber on the left with 10% NaCl (10gr. of NaCl in 100 mL of water) and the chamber on the right with pure water 3.

Lab Activity A. OSMOSIS THROUGH A DIALYSIS MEMBRANE: A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT Cells transport solutes in and out across their membranes in order to adjust to their surroundings and maintain the homeostasis necessary for life. Cells use different methods of transport, depending on the nature of the substance transported. This experiment provides an easy way to study diffusion of water and solutes through a semi-permeable membrane. Remember that osmosis refers to the net diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane. The observations of this experiment may be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living cells. A scientific experiment follows the scientific method, and can be defined* as a structured and active process used to test a hypothesis. In an experiment, the scientist has some form of control over the variables at work in the system under study. Typically some variable is deliberately changed by the experimenter and other variables are monitored to see if they change as a result. The scientific experiment follows the basic steps of the scientific method: I. Observation of a phenomenon in nature → II Stating hypothesis/es→ III Making predictions → IV Doing experiments/collecting data → V Drawing conclusions. I. OBSERVATION (i.e. phenomenon you observe in nature) Red blood cells placed in distilled (pure) water swell II. HYPOTHESIS (i.e. provisional supposition in accordance with known facts, a.k.a.”educated guess”) Having different concentration of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane affects the net movement of water and solutes across the membrane III. PREDICTION/S (i.e. action of predicting future events, forecasting based on the hypothesis) Make predictions using the following question as a guideline. You need to first check the experiment materials needed and procedure below: i. How will the net direction of water diffusion be? Justify your answer ii. How will the net direction of syrup diffusion be? Justify your answer 100

iii. How will the net direction of methylene blue diffusion be? Justify your answer iv. Would the bag gain weight, lose weight, or stay the same? Justify your answers (The tricky part in here is that water molecules are much smaller and more abundant –that the solutes. Then, water determines weight gain/loss) IV.

C. OSMOSIS DEMONSTRATION USING POTATO CELLS (15 MIN) Procedure • Take two strips of potato of approximately the same size and place each in its own test tube as shown on the right. • To one tube (A), add distilled water, and to the other (B), a solution of NaCl. • After 1 hour, remove the potato strips from the solutions and observe for changes in shape or consistency. i. Which tube contains a hypertonic solution? How do you know? ii. Which of the potato strips became limp? Why did this happen? iii. Which of the potato strips has gained water? Why did this happen?

D. TONICITY (15 MIN) Tonicity is the ability of a solution to affect the size (volume) of a cell. For this to happen, the cell must be permeable to water. Water can cross the cell membrane by using special channels called aquaporins. If a cell membrane has lots of aquaporin channels, and the channels are open, then water can move freely. The figures below represent red blood cells in various solutions. Inside each cell, there is a certain concentration of a solute. Outside of each cell is a certain concentration of a solute. i. Draw an arrow into and/or out of each cell to show the direction of water movement. 0.9% wt/vol

EXTRA THINKING: 1. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. Water

105

intoxication is most likely to be seen in infants less than six months of age and sometimes in athletes. A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much. (Source: http://altmedicine.allinfo-about.com/features/waterintox.html ) What happens to cells when there is too much water around them? 2. A white blood cell called a macrophage encounters an invading bacterium in the tissue. The bacterium is too large to pass through its cell membrane, but the macrophage is able to ingest it anyway. i. Name the process by which this bacterium is taken into the cell. ii. Name the organelle where the bacterium will be destroyed. iii. Name the process by which the wastes produced from this destruction is expelled by the cell. 3. Small molecules are passing from inside the cell across the membrane to the extracellular fluid. The cell expends no energy, nor are there any special channels involved. The rate of movement is rapid for a while and then slows to a steady rate. A. Name the process that brings about this movement of molecules across the cell membrane B. Why has the rate of movement across the membrane changed from rapid to steady? 4. While training over the long, hot summer, pickle juice was the Philadelphia Eagles' first line of defense against heat cramps. Since then, other NFL and college teams have picked up on the power of the pickle. (Source: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/17/1676_51817.htm How does pickle juice prevent dehydration? Hint: think about osmosisâ&#x20AC;Śwhere will water go? 5. Why is it that sailors cannot drink seawater to survive if they run out of drinking water? (hint: seawater is hypertonic to body fluids) 6. Why is salty water (pickle juice) OK for the athletes but dangerous for the sailor with no more drinking water? 7. The concentration of Na+ ions in the cell is too high, so the cell must use energy to lower the internal concentration back to normal levels (since normally the Na+ concentration is much higher outside the cell than in). Name the type of transport involved in getting Na+ out of the cell. Explain how this type of transport differs from simple diffusion. 8. Sarah is diagnosed with diabetes. She has the following symptoms: polyuria (excessive volume of urine) and polydypsia (excessive thirst). A classic symptom of diabetes is high levels of sugar in the urine. Where will water in her body want to go? How does this explain Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polyuria? Why is Sarah thirsty?

Lab Activities A. EPITHELIAL TISSUE (60 MIN) 1. Label each of the diagrams below with the correct terminology. Remember that each type of epithelium (except transitional) will have one name that describes the shape of the cell, and one name that describes the number of layers. If it has cilia, then the tissue will apical have three names. surface

basement membrane

2. Now return to the images above and draw a line where the basement membrane is. See the first image for an example. 3. Next, label the apical surface of each type of epithelium. The apical surface is the one that faces the “outside” or is not physically attached to another tissue type (connective). Again, refer to the first image for an example. 4. Now you’re ready to see the epithelial tissues on the microscope. Observe each of the types listed in the next table (slide numbers are listed) and sketch what you see. It is important that you make your sketches the best that you can; this is how you help your brain remember. Label the basement membrane of your sketch. Remember, tissues can be cut in lots of ways; sometimes it won’t look like the pretty picture that you have in

3. Sometimes reflexes are described as “bypassing the brain.” What does that mean? If it bypasses the brain, how do we know that we’ve been hurt?

128

4. Somatic Reflex: The patellar reflex. a. Ask your lab partner to sit on the edge of a table with his or her legs relaxed and hanging freely. Use the hammer to tap lightly at your partner's leg just below the kneecap (patella) at the patellar tendon. Switch places and repeat. This is also called the knee-jerk reflex because the knee jerks with the extension of the leg. b. Fill in the blanks or circle the correct response. The patellar reflex is initiated by tapping on the patellar tendon which causes the ______________________ (muscle) to stretch. This is sensed by receptors in the muscle that then send the impulse through a(n) ______________________ (inter | motor | sensory) neuron. The impulse travels to the ______________________ (brain | spinal cord) where the neuron synapses with a ______________________ (inter | motor | sensory) neuron, The impulse then travels along this neuron, back to the muscle which then ______________________ (relaxes | contracts) causing the lower leg to jerk (or kick). The patellar reflex arc involves ______________________ (one | two | three) synapse(s). This is a ______________________ (spinal | cranial) reflex, and is also ______________________ (somatic | autonomic).

5. Autonomic reflex: pupillary reflex (OPTIONAL ACTIVITY). a. Hold a ruler horizontally just below your partner’s eye, resting it on the cheekbone and measure the diameter of both pupils (in mm). Record the numbers here: left pupil _______ right pupil _______. b. Your instructor will turn off the classroom lights for a moment (leave the door open so that you have some light). Measure your partner’s pupils in the dark. c. Record the numbers here: left pupil _______ right pupil _______. d. Have your partner sit with his or her back to the light coming through the door. Then ask your partner to hold a hand vertically (to one side of the nose) so that when you shine light in one eye, it won’t get into the other eye. Next, use a flashlight to shine light into your partner’s left eye. What happens? e. Measure the diameter of the left pupil and record the number here: _______. While still directing light at the left eye, observe the right pupil. What happened? f. Measure the diameter of the right pupil and record the number here: _______. Turn off the flashlight and wait for your instructor to turn the lights back on. Now watch your partner’s pupils when your instructor turns the light back on. What happens?

When a blood clot becomes lodged in a small blood vessel in the brain, it prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the surrounding brain tissue, and that tissue dies. This is called a stroke. Strokes can happen in any part of the brain; and the symptoms and severity of the stroke depend on which region of the brain is affected. Below is a list of symptoms suffered by different stroke victims. Use the tables you completed in the prelab to help you diagnose the region of the cerebral cortex damaged based on the symptoms described. a. b. c. d. e. f.

B. THE POSTCENTRAL GYRUS The density and distribution of tactile receptors varies from one part of your body to another. This has a direct effect on your ability to localize touch. Areas with a higher density of receptors should allow you to pinpoint touch more accurately than areas with fewer tactile receptors. - 132 -

1. Follow the directions below (source: http://northonline.sccd.ctc.edu/plortz/mystery/lab4touch&reflexes.htm ) a. With your eyes closed, have your lab partner touch the palm of your hand with a pen. The touch should be gentle enough not to hurt, but firm enough to leave a small mark. b. Keeping your eyes closed, try to place the eraser end of a pencil or the tip of the pen on the spot touched by your lab partner. Once you think you’ve found it, hold it there. c. Have your lab partner measure the difference in distance between the two spots. Record the distance in the table below. d. Repeat the steps two more times. Average the results. e.

Lab Activities A. MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF MUSCLE FIBERS 1. Look at slide #19 (has all three muscle types) under the microscope. Use your textbook and pre-lab activity to help you identify the muscle types and structures you labeled in the pre-lab activity. B. ACTIONS OF MUSCLE ON JOINTS. 1. Define the terms below. Then label each part on the biceps brachii on the image to the right. a. origin: b. insertion: c. belly: 1. The movement produced by a muscle is called its action. For example, the action of the biceps brachii is to flex the elbow. The movement of a joint is usually associated with the combined action of more than one muscle. We define each of the muscle involved in the movement of a joint according to their role. Define or describe each of the following roles, in general: a. prime mover (agonist) b. antagonist c. synergist d. fixator 2. Now apply the terms to an actual joint. Keep in mind that the role that a muscle plays depends on the movement (e.g. flexion or extension) that the joint is making. The following questions all refer to flexion of the elbow joint. a. Identify each of the muscles in the diagram: 1: 2: 3: b. What is the origin of muscle #3? c. What is the insertion of muscle #3? d. Which muscle is the agonist (flexion of the elbow)? e. Which muscle is the synergist? f. Which muscle is the antagonist? g. Which muscle(s) serve as fixators (not shown here)? h. Which bones form the elbow joint? i. What type of joint is this?______-arthrosis

3. How would the above terms change if we were talking about extension of the elbow joint? 4. The brachialis and the triceps brachii represent an antagonistic pair. What does that mean?

5. Which antagonistic pair controls flexion and extension of the knee joint? 165

C. IDENTIFICATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLES. 1. Find the muscles below (that you labeled in Pre-Lab Activity B) on models (i.e. torso model, arm model, and leg model). Identify and contract the muscles on your own body, and describe in your own words the kind of movement (action) each one produces to help you remember.

LABORATORY RULES - ME401/ME402 Read the rules & sign the agreement below, and hand in to your lab instructor Laboratory Safety: Lab safety is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. 1. Be familiar with the exercises and experiments that you will be doing before coming to laboratory. This will increase your understanding, enjoyment, and safety during the laboratory. 2. Know your own allergies and be aware of the potential allergens (e.g. penicillin, pollen, latex) that might be present in the laboratory. Take the necessary precautions to prevent allergic reactions. 3. Know where the shower, eyewash bath, and fire extinguisher are and how and when to use them. 4. Do not put backpacks, bags, and other personal items on the lab bench. Keep them out of the way under the bench. 5. Follow all protocols (instructions for experimental procedures) carefully. Varying the order could be dangerous. 6. Approach all chemicals with caution. Do not taste or inhale (smell) chemicals. Avoid getting chemicals on your skin. We may use strong acids and bases that can cause chemical burns. We may use chemicals that have been linked to causing cancer (carcinogens). 7. Wash your hands before and after each laboratory session. Good hygiene is important in limiting the spread of disease. Hand-washing will also get rid of any chemical residues you might have inadvertently been exposed to. 8. No food or drink in the laboratory, including water. If you are thirsty or hungry, leave the classroom. 9. Smoking is prohibited in all public buildings in New York City, including this one. 10. Report accidents and breakages or any equipment that is malfunctioning to your professor. Do not attempt to clean up any spills or breakages yourself. Tell your professor. 11. Long hair and flowing clothing can be dangerous in the laboratory because they can get caught. Open-toed shoes or sandals are not to be worn in the lab because chemicals might spill directly on your skin. You may bring an old shirt to class to wear over you clothing. 12. Do not wear contact lenses in the lab. Lenses may absorb fumes and cause permanent damage. 13. Never remove chemicals, equipment, or parts of models from the laboratory. Anyone caught doing so is subject to disciplinary action. 14. Leave the lab in the same or better condition than when you entered. Put all microscopes back properly. Clean lab benches. Return all materials to the cart. Wash any glassware, slides, trays that you have used. Dispose of specimens in appropriate containers.
