COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is intended to complement the material presented in the Zoology 142 lectures, by giving hands-on experience with anatomical models, organ and whole-animal dissections, physiological and biochemical experiments, and microscopic slides dealing with the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.
Prerequisite: "C" or higher in ZOOL 141 and ZOOL 141L.
Corequisite or Prerequisite: ZOOL 142

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of Zool 142L the student should be able to:
1. describe the planes, cavities and gross anatomy of the human body
2. identify specific anatomical parts of the systems*
3. identify histology and pathology slides of the systems*
4. follow instructions to peform experiments collecting and analyzing data
5. follow CD instructions to perform experiments, collect data, and answer questions
6. perform measurements including mathematical analysis required in the experiments
7. answer questions explaining the physiology of the data collected in the experiments
8. write a lab report(word processor) on experiments, analyze data, and write a conclusion
9. work effectively in groups to problem solve
*The systems studied include the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.

GRADES:
The final grade will be determined by two laboratory practical exams (75% of the final grade), dissection oral quizzes (10% of the final grade), and lab quizzes and physiology experiment reports (15% of the final grade). Each exam will consist of multiple-choice questions. Questions may pertain to:

1. any of the structures and functions located on the anatomical models, dissections, slides, or charts;
2. the physiology experiments performed;
3. any of the exercise questions from the lab manual or lab packet.

The final exam will be noncumulative. The two laboratory practical examinations are mandatory and there will be no make-up exams or extra-credit assignments in this course. Failure to attend or participate in wet labs could result in one full letter grade drop in your final grade.

Please feel free to check with me during the semester regarding your progress. If a student has a complaint or concern regarding the class or teaching, that person needs to make an appointment and talk with the instructor to resolve the problem.

Final Grades will be Assigned on the Following Basis: Percentage Grading Scale
Lab Practical Exam Average 75%  A = 90 - 100%
Oral Dissection Quizzes    10% B = 80 - 89%
Quizzes & Experiment Reports   15% C = 70 - 79%
D = 60 - 69% 
TOTAL   100% F = 0 - 59%

WITHDRAWALS and INCOMPLETES:
Remember that the final date for withdrawal is __________. The instructor will sign a Withdrawal (W Grade) after _____________ only in cases of extreme or unusual circumstances such as: 1.) a certified medical reason or 2.) a death in the immediate family. Grade related excuses are unacceptable.
Incomplete (I Grade): Students must present the "Request for Incomplete form" prior to the last day of instruction. "I" grades will be given only to students who are achieving passing grades and are very close to completing the course. In addition, the student must have a very good reason for not being able to complete all the work on time, such as those listed under the withdrawal policy.

INSTRUCTION:
This is an "integrated" laboratory WITH A COMBINATION OF WET AND DRY LABS. Human models, charts, and slides are studied in the scheduled dry labs. Animal dissection in a wet laboratory environment gives students "hands-on" experience with preserved tissues using non-human analogues, such as the fetal pig and sheep heart, kidney, and eye. The physiology experiments are set up to foster group interaction, thinking and writing skills with written lab reports and analysis of class data. Students should come to labs prepared--having read and studied the handouts and/or exercises in the lab manual. Microscopic slide identification and model identification are an integral part of the lab and usually require extra review time. Slides are now available on the CD that comes with you lab textbook and these CD slide images will be used on the lab exams.

Models are available in the Learning Resource Center(LRC) so that students can review the anatomy at their convenience. Since there is often only one model of a system, all models and workstations are available on a first come, first serve basis; nothing is reserved for any particular class or time. The LRC is doing a service for the A & P classes, and students need to remember to sign in and respect the rules so that we can continue to use this service. Rules against eating in both the lab rooms and LRC need to be followed. Remember that other classes are in session or students are studying in adjoining areas and rooms, therefore studying needs to be done so as not to disturb others or this privilege may have to be revoked. The models and equipment used are expensive and need to be handled carefully.

If you have a disability and have not voluntarily disclosed the nature of your disability and the support that you need, you are invited to contact the Student Services Office, 245-8313 or 245-8212 as soon as possible.  This is to ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.

STUDENT CONDUCT and ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
As members of the academic community students are expected to promote an atmosphere of honesty and learning, respect for others, and appropriate classroom behavior to maintain the academic integrity essential to the educational process. "Academic dishonesty cannot be condoned by the University.   Such dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism which violate the Student Conduct Code and may result in expulsion from the University." (Kauai Community College 2008/2009 Catalog)

LAB SAFETY RULES
1. Know the location of the first aid kit, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, chemical shower, eyewash,   broken glass container, and cleanup materials for spills.
2. Report to the instructor any cuts, pokes, or toxic reactions.
3. Never cut with a scalpel towards your own body. All your scalpel cuts should be made through your   specimen down into the wax liner on the base of your dissection pan.
4. Never drink any fluid found in the lab unless specifically directed by the instructor. Many lab fluids are   toxic and dangerous and must always be handled with care.
5. Wear gloves, goggles, and a lab coat when handling any specimen. These are available in the   bookstore. Skin contact with preservative fluids should be washed off immediately; any skin reactions   should be reported to the instructor.
6. Protective glasses should also be worn to protect the eyes from any accidental splashes.
7. Keep long hair tied back and wear covered shoes.
8. Discard broken glassware in the properly designated container. Do not throw glass or sharp objects in   the container for discarded paper materials.
9. In case of fire, notify your instructor and classmates and leave the building immediately and assemble   outside. There are several fire exits besides the main entry door.
10. Keep chemicals away from direct heat or sunlight.
11. Keep containers of alcohol, acetone, and other flammable liquids away from flames.

LABORATORY RULES
1. Each student is expected to act in a mature, responsible, and industrious manner in the laboratory.
2. Laboratory equipment is to be treated with respect; please report any malfunctions or breakages.
3. Instruments--especially dissection scalpels, probes, and pins--are to be used with the utmost care. Ask   the instructor if you do not understand the proper use of these instruments.
4. Laboratory workstations and floors are to be kept clean at all times. Decontaminate your work surface   at the beginning and end of every lab period with appropriate solution. All spills and dissection debris   are to be removed before leaving the lab.
5. Smoking, eating, and drinking in the lab are not allowed.
6. Excessive noise, radios, and sound instruments are prohibited.
7. The use of the laboratory is restricted to assigned lab exercises only.
8. Children are not allowed in the laboratory for any reason.
9. Do not remove any specimens or laboratory material from the classroom.
10. Leave the laboratory clean and organized for the next student or class

WARNING AND DISCLOSURE
The animal specimens have been fixed in formalin, an aqueous fluid that contains formaldehyde. Although formalin has been used as a tissue fixative and embalming fluid for years for biological specimens, evidence has been produced that it is an irritating fluid for the upper respiratory tract, eyes, and skin--especially in sensitive individuals. Also, laboratory experiments have shown that formaldehyde is tumorogenic in rats, and the EPA classifies formaldehyde as a Group B1 carcinogen. To drink formalin would be decidedly lethal. For these reasons the animal specimens, once fixed in formalin, are preserved and shipped in other formalin-free liquids, such as ethylene glycol (antifreeze). Your specimens are preserved in such fluids. Nevertheless, when specimens are cut open, formaldehyde can be released and the following precautions should be made:
1.   Gloves and protective clothing (lab coat) should be worn to protect the skin.
2.   Goggles should be worn to protect the eyes.
3.   Spills and splashes of preserving fluid should be immediately rinsed off with water.
4.    Throughout the dissection, the preserved tissues should be rinsed with water especially if an odor becomes offensive.
5.   All dissections should be done in the lab with the overhead fans set on full speed and all windows and   doors fully open in the laboratory.
6.   Anyone with any chronic or defined respiratory problems should consult with the instructor about alternate learning strategies.
