Lecture: Monday and Wednesday at 1:30-2:45 Room 307
Lab: Wednesday at 3:00-4:40 Room 210
This course will survey basic concepts in cell physiology. In addition, a survey of basic anatomical terminology will precede a study of the histology, gross anatomy and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. Use will be made of the case-study method to achieve the desired understanding and integration of physiologic principles. The laboratory portion of the course will include use of human cadavers to study the anatomy of the systems indicated above. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.
BIOL 1564 with a grade of C or better, or appropriate high school introductory anatomy and physiology course
General Education Outcomes are the knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and behaviors that students are expected to develop as a result of their overall experiences with any aspect of the college, including courses, programs, and student services, both inside and outside of the classroom. The General Education Outcomes specifically learned in this course are:
- Responsibility
Prerequisite: CHEM 1504 or one year of high school chemistry with a grade of C; or both CHEM 1614 and CHEM 1624. Must be completed prior to taking this course. This course will survey basic concepts in cell physiology. In addition, a survey of basic anatomical terminology will precede a study of the histology, gross anatomy and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. Use will be made of discussion boards and class activities to achieve the desired understanding and integration of physiologic principles. The laboratory portion of the course will include use of models and dissection to study the anatomy of the systems indicated above. Please note: BIOL 1534 or BIOL 1564 are recommended for students with no previous biology coursework. AAS: Life science (laboratory science) elective.

Participation: This course meets twice a week. Attendance is mandatory. Attending class and being an active participant are crucial to your success in this course. If you miss class, you will not only be at a severe disadvantage. It is YOUR responsibility, not mine, to find out what work you may have missed.
Make-up policy:
Labs
Late study guides, case studies, and lab reports WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Labs will be due at the beginning of your next lab session. You MAY NOT turn in a lab assignment for a lab you did not attend. If you know in advance that you are going to miss a lab, contact me and I might be able to find a different lab section that you can attend that week. You must show up to your exams at the scheduled time. If you arrive late for an exam, you will have only the time remaining for all of the students that were in class on time.
Make-up lecture exams will consist of essay questions and must be taken within one week of the assigned test date during my office hours. Make up lecture exams will only be available to students if they have an excuse deemed valid by the teacher (i.e. death in the family (death certificate will be requested), car accident (report will be requested), medical (doctors note will be requested), etc. All finals must be taken at the assigned time. If you are aware of a scheduling conflict, you may arrange to take an exam early during my office hours.
**Cell phones: Please turn off all electronic devices prior to the start of class / lab to prevent class disruption.
**Pencil (#2) pencil must be used on all exams. None will be provided.
**Audio recordings: Students may make audio recordings of lecture and or lab for their own personal use while enrolled in this class. However, the student may not share and/or distribute these recordings without the expressed written consent of the instructor.
Withdrawals
For information related to the Student Code of Conduct Policy, Withdrawal Policy, Email Policy, and Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy, please review the college’s Code of Campus Affairs and Regulations webpage, which can be found at (Student Code of Conduct - Kankakee Community College).
Code of Conduct
Students need to adhere to the Code of Conduct located in the college catalog (Student Code of Conduct - Kankakee Community College).
Laboratory Safety
Students are expected to comply with the KCC Science Laboratory Safety Rules at all times. These rules will be discussed during the first lab meeting and each student will sign an acknowledgement of receipt and understanding. Students who do not comply with the safety rules will be asked to leave the lab and will receive no credit for that day’s work.
College Policies
Withdrawals
When it is necessary to withdraw from a course or from the college, a student may do so on or before the withdrawal date without receiving a punitive final grade. Students should use Change of Schedule forms which are available in Student Services. Students may submit Change of Schedule forms to Student Services or through the mail, but they must be postmarked no later than the withdrawal date. No withdrawals are allowed by phone. To determine the last date to withdraw with a grade of “W” in this course, log into KCConnect and click on “my registration statement” under Academic Profile.
Code of Conduct
Students need to adhere to the Code of Conduct located in the college catalog.
Email Policy
To ensure a student's privacy under all applicable education laws and to facilitate timely interactions, two College-authorized methods of electronic communication exist: KCC-issued student email accounts (using the domain name of .student.kcc.edu) and the Canvas Learning Management System. Students are expected to regularly check their KCC email accounts and Canvas for important incoming communication from the college or from individual instructors. Students understand that emails they send from personal email accounts (other than those listed above) may not be delivered to the KCC recipient, and students should have no expectation that such messages will be answered.
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation
KCC complies with state law and federal financial aid policy. If you receive an attendance grade of F or are institutionally withdrawn from a course, it will affect your eligibility for financial aid. (1) You must attend at least one class, or participate at least once for an online course (logging in without participation is not attending), by the 10th day of 16 week courses or within the first 10% of shorter term classes. Non-attendance will result in an attendance grade of F. (2) If you have excessive absences and no reasonable chance of passing the course at midterm (or after), your instructor may give you a WX grade and have you institutionally withdrawn from the course.
