Course Goals:
1. Be
able to describe basic metabolic pathways commonly used by cells and explain
how enzymes function in those pathways.
2. Be
able to explain how neurons communicate with each other and other cells such as
muscles and glands.
3. Be

into CNS action.
4. Be
able to describe blood and how it is circulated about he body.
5. Be
able to describe how the body defends itself against foreign invaders.
6. Be
able to describe respiratory system function including breathing and gas exchange
in the lungs and body tissues.
7. Be
able explain how the digestive system mechanically and chemically breaks food
down for absorption.
8. Be to describe urine
formation and its hormonal control.
9. Be
able to differentiate between reproductive processes that occur in males from
those that occur in females.
10. Be

YOUR GRADE AND THE ATTENDANCE POLICY
A good grade in Biology 406 requires (1) regular attendance
in class and (2) regular study habits. I
will take attendance daily. Missing six lectures
results in a loss of 100 points from
your total. Missing seven to ten lectures results in a loss of 200 points. Missing more
than ten lectures will result in a
failing grade. Excused absences will
be given only if I receive a written note explaining why and when the absences
occurred within one week of the classes missed. Regular study habits are essential to
earning a good grade.
YOU
SHOULD STUDY AT LEAST TWO HOURS FOR EVERY HOUR OF CLASS TIME.
Academic Integrity
Working with each other in study groups is encouraged and is
a great way of learning, but each student is to write his or her own
assignments individually; they are not to be written with another student. Refer to the catalog (p 68-69) for College's
policy on plagiarism and cheating.
FIRST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
Write a one page, typed
Letter of Introduction to me.
Include the following information about yourself: Hometown? Sophomore, Junior or
Senior? Major? In relation to
this class, tell me about your strengths and weaknesses, fears and goals. Discuss what factors in your life might
affect your performance in class and why.
What is your background in biology, math and science. Why are you taking Physiology? Finally, tell me what I can do to help you
succeed in this class.
Note: (Assignment is worth 20 bonus points)
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need
accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability
Support Services (DSS) at 985-5137 as soon as possible to coordinate and
implement accommodations in a timely fashion. The Office of DSS is located in
the Student Support Center, PC 188.
GRADE SHEET
This grade sheet allows you to
keep a record of your throughout the semester. It is your responsibility to do
so and keep all graded papers. If
there is any discrepancy between the grade you have calculated and the one that
is assigned, it is your responsibility to prove what grade you have in your
possession. As the instructor I have the
ability to change grades. However, I
will not change your grade without reviewing your papers (i.e. the ones that
you saved). I will also not review your
grade during the semester to simply inform you as to what your grade is. I will
be happy to talk with you about any difficulties you are having and ways
through which you might improve the effectiveness of your study time.
