This course covers the anatomy and physiology of the human body through lectures, labs, dissections and presentations over three weeks. Students will learn anatomical terminology and the structures and functions of major body systems including integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, reproductive and endocrine. Evaluation is based on class participation, weekly quizzes and presentations. Labs include microscopy, sheep brain and cow eye dissection, and a fetal pig dissection. The course aims to prepare students for health careers through hands-on learning and ethics discussions.

The Human Body
Rollins College, Term 1
Instructor: Brandon Baker
TA: TBD
Required Texts: (provided to students by Duke Tip)
None.
Course Description: This course will cover the general aspects of the anatomy of the
human body from a systemic approach. It will be concerned primarily with the gross
structures and locations of the different body parts and organs, and well as understanding
the functions of different organs in relation to one another. This course will have lab
dissections, lectures, educational videos, ethics debates, presentations, and much more to
offer the students a variety of ways of understanding the material discussed.
Course Objectives:
1. Recognize, understand, and be able to apply basic anatomical terms.
2. Identify and describe gross and microscopic structures of the human body.
3. Comprehend the applied anatomical interplay between structure and function at
various levels of organization (cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organism).
4. Illustrate the interrelationship of the various organ systems of
the human body.
5. Complete lab dissections to gain a better understanding of organ systems.
6. Practice oral presentations by performing small group presentations to introduce
material to classmates.
7. Learn about professional career options in the health field.
Assignments and Evaluations:
Students in this course will be evaluated based on their participation in class discussion,
lectures, labs, dissections, and presentations. There will be no homework assigned in this
class to do at night, so everything will be evaluated based on their time in the classroom.
There will be weekly quizzes given to gauge how well the students are retaining
information presented in class, as well as to receive feedback on how we can adjust the
class based on quiz performances.
