BIOL 153 and BIOL 155 - Human Biology: Anatomy and Physiology, Lecture notes of Animal Anatomy and Physiology

University of British ColumbiaAnimal Anatomy and Physiology

A general course syllabus for BIOL 153 and BIOL 155 - Human Biology: Anatomy and Physiology. The course covers the principles of biology with particular reference to the human body (anatomy and physiology). BIOL 153 is designed for students in Dental Hygiene, Midwifery, Food & Nutrition Science, and students applying for entry into the School of Nursing. BIOL 155 is the lecture-only version of this program. The course spans two academic terms from September through April. course format, credits, pre-requisites, course learning objectives, textbooks and additional resources, and evaluation.

BIOL 153 – Human Biology: Anatomy and Physiology &
BIOL 155 – Human Biology: Physiology and Introductory Anatomy
General Course Syllabus (as of August 2019)
About the Course:
Course Description: The principles of biology with particular reference to the human
body (anatomy and physiology). Please consult the Faculty of Science Credit Exclusion
Lists.
• BIOL 153 (8 credits) is designed for, but not restricted to, students in Dental
Hygiene, Midwifery, Food & Nutrition Science, and students applying for entry
into the School of Nursing. Lectures cover basic concepts in biology and human
physiology, and the importance of interactions between organ systems to
maintain homeostasis. The laboratory component emphasizes the relationship
between structure and function of the human body, with selected experiments on
organ physiology, human response to environmental changes, and general
anatomy.
• BIOL 155 (6 credits) is the lecture-only version of this program. As such, it is
primarily a foundational course in human physiology, suitable for students in
General Sciences, Biology, and as a preparatory course for the Health Sciences,
including Medicine and Dentistry (BIOL 155 is not a pre-requisite for these
programs). The focus is to study human physiology and understand how
physiological changes enable the human body to adapt to varying environmental
challenges.
Course Format: The course spans two academic terms from September through April.
• BIOL 153: Lecture (3h/week), Laboratory (3h/week), and Tutorial (1h/week).
• BIOL 155: Lecture (3h/week).
Credits: 8 credits for BIOL 153; 6 credits for BIOL 155.
Pre-requisites: One of CHEM 12, CHEM 100, CHEM 111 and one of BIOL 11, BIOL
12, BIOL 111.
Course Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
• Develop a thorough understanding of fundamental concepts in human
physiology, interactions between major physiological systems, and the effects of
selected pathological conditions on the function of these systems and their
specific organs.

Course Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Develop a thorough understanding of fundamental concepts in human physiology, interactions between major physiological systems, and the effects of selected pathological conditions on the function of these systems and their specific organs.
  • Develop a solid knowledge of human anatomy including the understanding of the cause-effect relationship between structure and function of tissues, organs, and systems.
  • Think critically about the importance and impact of physiology of the human body on the nursing practice.
  • Demonstrate a high degree of maturity and professionalism expected of future health care professionals.

Textbooks and Additional Resources:

  • Required Text: Martini, F. H. "Visual Anatomy & Physiology", 2nd Ed.
  • Required Equipment: 3 - ring binders to file lecture notes, lab notes, and lab reports. USB drive or memory stick for saving lab data.
  • Optional (but highly recommended) Text: Medical Dictionary Note: Although the internet has become a major source of scientific information students should remember that, unlike scientific papers or textbooks, most web sites do not undergo the process of peer review. Consequently, never assume that everything posted on the web is correct, and when surfing the net choose web sites that belong to well-established institutions such as major colleges and universities.

Evaluation:

The distribution of marks in Biology 153 is as follows: Assessment Weight Mid-term exams (one in each term; 2 x 10% each)

Winter exam 20% Final Exam 20% Lecture Total 60% Physiology lab reports 20% Pre-lab and Anatomy quizzes 20% Lab total 40% Course total 100% NOTE: For Biology 153, students must pass both the lecture and lab components to pass the course (for the Faculty of Science, a minimum of 60% is required to pass). Attendance in the labs is mandatory and a mark of 0% will be given for missed labs. Late lab reports will be docked 10% per day late.

University Policies:

UBC provides resources to support student learning and to maintain healthy lifestyles but recognizes that sometimes crises arise and so there are additional resources to access including those for survivors of sexual violence. UBC values respect for the person and ideas of all members of the academic community. Harassment and discrimination are not tolerated nor is suppression of academic freedom. UBC provides appropriate accommodation for students with disabilities and for religious, spiritual and cultural observances. UBC values academic honesty and students ae expected to acknowledge the ideas generated by others and to uphold the highest academic standards in all of their actions. Details of the policies and how to access support are available on the UBC Senate website.
