This course is designed for students in the Occupational and Physical Therapy programs. It can count as an elective for students in the Biology/Biochemistry majors. We will begin by defining terminology and outlining the basic organization of the body. We will concentrate our discussion on the skeletal, muscular, nervous and cardiovascular systems. In the second half of the term we will focus on regional anatomy. In the laboratory we will study the bones and major muscles of the body. We will adopt a hands-on approach using skeletons and muscle patterns to learn actions, attachments and nerve supplies. Surface anatomy will be highlighted. The laboratory component includes extensive use of a cadaver dissection computer program and videotapes. The cat will be used in the second half of the term as a model for teaching good dissection techniques.
1. Name the main bones and landmarks on the axial and appendicular skeletonsWeb Access: through WebCT and the textbook web site
2. Identify and state the attachments, nerve supply and actions of key muscles
3. Learn the components of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems including pathways for sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation
4. Follow the blood supply through the heart and major vessels of the body
5. Gain an appreciation for the complexity of the human body and be prepared for future courses involving the dissection of a cadaver
Anatomy is on WebCT the online courseware package at Ithaca College.

On WebCT You can:
LECTURE: 3 tests + pop-quizzes and participation= 30%
LABORATORY: weekly lab quizzes + muscle project = 30%
LAB FINAL = 10%
LECTURE FINAL = 30%
TOTAL = 100%*Please note: There are no extra credit assignments
Attendance: The undergraduate handbook states the general policy that students are expected to attend classes and that they are responsible for all material even when absent. Both lecture and laboratory are integral and essential parts of the course. If for a valid reason, you cannot attend your scheduled lab section, you must contact your lab instructor and make it up in another section during that week. Two un-excused absences from the laboratory, early exit from labs or conspicuous absences from lecture and you will be dropped from the course.Standards of Academic Conduct: These are outlined clearly in the student handbook: “Academic honesty is a cornerstone of the mission of the College”. Please familiarize yourself with the definition of plagiarism. Academic dishonesty can lead to a zero grade on that assignment, a failing grade in the course, academic code probation, suspension or expulsion from the College depending on the gravity of the violation and the decision of the judicial board.

Students with Disabilities: In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, reasonable accommodation will be provided to students with documented disabilities on a case-by-case basis. Students must register with the Office of Academic Support Services (607-274-1005, TDD 607-274-7319, acssd@ithaca.edu) and schedule an appointment with their instructors as soon as possible to discuss their needs.
Dissection Policy: If a student has a compelling, valid reason for not performing the cat dissections (ethical, religious, medical) they may request an exemption. The exact reasons for the request must be submitted in writing within the first two weeks of classes.
Reading assignments: You should familiarize yourself with the assigned chapters before coming to class. Labeling assignments in the Broyles Workbook should be completed prior to lab so that laboratory time may be spent examining actual skeletons and models while working with other students.
Muscle Project: You will be assigned one muscle for which you will write a 1-2 page report highlighting attachments, nerve supply, action, exercises, sports and occupations that use that muscle and clinical significance. The specific grading scale will be discussed during lecture.
Lecture and Laboratory Tests: Tests are given during the lecture period scheduled and will be based on previous lectures, readings and muscles. Tests will include matching, short answer, multiple choice and diagrams. Periodically pop-quizzes will be given during lecture. The final exam will be cumulative and will be held in the Hill Center gym on May 8th at 10:30 am. It will include all material covered in the course with an emphasis on regional anatomy. Lab tests will be given during the first 15 minutes of the lab periods. The final lab test is a comprehensive practical exam.
Missed tests: A test (lecture or lab) missed during an un-excused absence will result in a zero grade for that test. For an unexpected absence (illness, family crisis, accident), you must inform me before the test if at all possible. You can call my voice mail (607-274-3610) and leave a message, email a message (muma@ithaca.edu) or contact the Biology office (607-274-3161). Such notification does not guarantee my accepting your reason for absence, but failing to notify me guarantees you will not be excused. Oversleeping does not constitute a valid excuse.
