Course Description:
The instructional approach is a combination of systematic and regional anatomy and physiology with some surface
anatomy and radiologic considerations. Physiology and anatomy of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, renal and
gastrointestinal systems as well as anatomy of the reproductive and integumentary systems and special senses will be
covered. Laboratories utilize human tissue materials, anatomical models, charts, and prosected cadavers and cadaver
specimens.

Prerequisites:
Kinesiology 259.

Antirequisites:
Credit for Kinesiology 260 and any of Biology 305, Medical Science 404, Nursing 222, Zoology 461 or 463 will not be
allowed.

Course Objectives:
This course is concerned with anatomy (the study of animal structure and organization), physiology (the study of animal
function), and pathology (the study of animal diseases).
The course objectives are:

• To appreciate the organization and function of the mammalian body.

• To gain an understanding of biological structures at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organism level.
• To gain a basic understanding of how the systems of the body interact with each other to maintain homeostasis.
• To develop the technical skills required to communicate effectively with physicians, biologists, and anatomists.

Laboratory Midterm: 25% Laboratory Final: 25%

NOTE: Grades will be assigned based on earned marks to one decimal point. Rounding grades is not an accepted practice
in the Faculty of Kinesiology and, therefore, the grade brackets detailed above are not flexible (i.e., 87.9 is never 88.0).

Midterm Exam Policy:
The Faculty of Kinesiology policy is that all students are expected to write midterm exams on the dates listed on the course
outline. Special accommodation may be granted by the instructor in exceptional circumstances only, which includes
illness, participation in athletic events (varsity, national or international), domestic affliction, and religious conviction. It
is the student’s responsibility to supply proper documentation and/or notification prior to the originally scheduled
midterm to support their circumstance. Personal travel plans and arrangements are not valid reasons for requesting a
special accommodation for a midterm exam.

Students registered for Tuesday and Thursday lab exams must attend their scheduled lab time for their Lab Midterm,
unless special accommodations have been granted by the instructor. Students registered for Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday labs must attend the Lab Midterm time slot they signed up for. Attendance to any other exam time is not permitted,
unless approved by the instructor. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a grade of zero.

Final Exam:
The Lecture Final is scheduled by the Registrar and will be between April 15-26, 2023. The final exam will be two hours
long and consist of multiple choice questions.

Students registered for Tuesday and Thursday lab exams must attend their scheduled lab time for their Lab Final, unless
special accommodations have been granted by the instructor. Students registered for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
labs must attend the Lab Final time slot they signed up for. Attendance to any other exam time is not permitted, unless
approved by the instructor. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a grade of zero.

Late Policy:
It is the student’s responsibility to supply proper documentation and/or notification prior to the scheduled labs and/or
exams to support their circumstance. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a grade of zero for any exams and
you will not be able to make up another exam without written permission from Dr. Cho.

Additional Course Information:

If the student misses the final lecture examination, it may be rescheduled through application to the faculty office and the
Registrar.

Students are expected to read and sign the “Code of Conduct for Anatomical Laboratories”, which will be posted on D2L.

Other Required Materials:

It is the student’s responsibility to purchase laboratory gloves (vinyl or latex). Lab coats must also be purchased (available
at the University Bookstore) and be worn at all times in the Human Anatomy Lab.

Contacting the Instructor:

Students requiring assistance are encouraged to speak with their instructor during class or office hours. If you wish to
meet with the instructor outside of office hours, please phone or email the instructor to make an appointment.

Email, while commonly used, does limit the effectiveness of communications and may not be the best way for instructors
to answer student questions. Therefore, the instructor may request a telephone call or personal meeting. Your instructor
will inform you as to their expectations about emails.

Students’ Union:
The Faculty of Kinesiology representative is Jessie Dinh and can be reached at [email protected].
