BIOL 3442 Human Physiology Spring Laboratory: LS 437 LAB MANUAL Biology 3442: Human Physiology, Dr. Nicholas Pollock. Available at the UTA Bookstore. LABORATORY INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Section 002 M 006 F 003 T 004 W 005 TH 007 F Instructor Email Dr. Nicholas Pollock Shana Pau Kat Ivey Dr. Pollock is the lab coordinator for all Human Physiology labs. Any questions and concerns about labs that cannot be, or are not, addressed your GTA should be directed to him via email, office hours, or appointment. DESCRIPTION OF COURSE CONTENT Topics will include the nervous, sensory, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems. Laboratory exercises explore both anatomical and experimental aspects of principles introduced in the lecture, and will stress hypothesis testing, data analysis, clinical techniques, and the understanding of research in physiology. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Laboratory goals are to introduce students to human form and function with a particularly strong focus on human physiology. Laboratory instruction will emphasize the basic physiology of the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems. The lab coordinator and lab instructors hope that students leave with not only a better appreciation and understanding of physiology, but also with the abilities to think critically and develop hypotheses and analyze data relevant to human physiology.

You are NOT permitted to drop the laboratory. Drops will be applied to entire course. Group work does NOT mean that one person does the assignment and everyone gets the grade. If your lab instructor feels confident that you did not participate in a group assignment, you will receive a reduced grade or a grade of 0. Evidence of collusion on individual assignments will result in a grade of 0 for both parties. All grades will be posted on Canvas within 1 week of submission. Students have one week from the time a grade is posted on Canvas to dispute the grade. Grades cannot be contested after this deadline has passed. Course policy prohibits lab extra credit in any form. Students are expected to keep track of their performance throughout the semester and seek guidance from the lab instructor (and lecture instructor) if their performance drops below satisfactory levels. Quizzes (8 10 pts each) 80 Quizzes will be given at the start of lab and will consist of 10 questions with a time limit. Material covered will include background and methodology for the current lab, as well as results and data interpretation from prior labs. You should plan to spend time studying for these quizzes since they are a large part of your laboratory grade and will be used to follow your learning progress. Since quizzes will be given at the start of lab, if you arrive late and miss the quiz, you will receive a 0. quizzes will not be given in any case of unexcused absence or tardiness. LAB REPORTS The ability to convey scientific information in a concise and understandable way is incredibly important in most professions. There will be a lab report for each lab in which you are required to submit the end of each lab. These will require you to generate hypotheses, collect information from the lab experiment, synthesize this information using critical thinking in order to communicate what was learned, answer related questions, and for some labs, create figures. 1. All lab reports need to be completed in a neat and organized manner. This means complete sentences are required, all calculations need to be shown, and all figures need to be labeled and have straight lines. 2. Although you will be working as a group to complete experiments and lab reports, all individuals need to contribute and make sure that they understand the material. 3. Collaboration is encouraged, but any evidence of plagiarism will result in a grade of 0, and those involved will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct. RESEARCH ARTICLE PRESENTATION Presenting scientific and medical findings to an audience is an important skill. Working and communicating with others is also very important. To facilitate these skills, you will be placed in a small group and given a scientific article on a physiological topic related to the body systems discussed in this course. Groups are and you must work with your assigned group members. As a group, you will need to read, analyze, and interpret the article. Then, you will be required to present a summary of the article, in PowerPoint format, to your lab peers. Article summaries should be approximately 12 minutes long, and must include relevant background, hypotheses tested, methodology, results, and overall conclusions (discussion of results). A rubric is posted on Canvas for you and further details will be given during lab. Group presentations must be submitted through Canvas (SEE BELOW). Presentation Submission Policies: 1. Do all submissions through Google Chrome or Firefox. 2. Submissions must be in Powerpoint format (pptx or ppt). DO NOT submit a PDF. It will not be graded and you will receive a 0. 3. DO NOT submit via email or in person. They will not be accepted. 4. Pay attention to the submission due date. Late submissions, missing submissions, or those incorrectly submitted, will not be accepted and will result in a 0 for all group members. 5. It is your responsibility to submit the presentation correctly and on time. Except in the case of documented technical difficulties, you will not be given extra time to submit electronic assignments in the case of issues. 6. It is recommended that you take a screen shot of successful electronic submissions. Complaints of missing submitted assignments will not be considered without documentation. This requirement also applies to failed submission attempts due to technological difficulties. 7. DO NOT turn in work that has been completed and submitted previously, as you will be caught and reported to student conduct. 8. Submissions through Canvas are considered final. Requests to clear submission attempts will not be considered, except in cases where technological difficulties can be proven. TEACHING PRESENTATION Being able to learn, understand, and interpret complex physiological concepts and processes is vital to your academic and professional success in fields of physiology. One of the best ways to learn and develop a deeper understanding of a concept is to develop a presentation and teach that concept to others (i., active learning). To facilitate this, you will be placed in a small group and assigned a physiological concept or process discussed in lecture. Groups are and you must work with your assigned group members. As a group, you will need to thoroughly study and understand the assigned topic, and then teach the topic to the students in your lab. Review presentations should be approximately minutes long. They can be taught using the chalkboard, dry erase boards, tablets (all depending on the room), via class activities, demonstrations, posters, etc.. no PowerPoint, no online tools, be active, and involve the class. See the rubric on Canvas for further guidelines. Topics: neurotransmission, structures of the brain, autonomic nervous system, muscle contraction, cardiac cycle, gas transport, digestive processes, nephron function, and endocrine axes LAB PRACTICAL This will serve as the lab final exam and is worth 100 points. There will be 50 questions and an 80minute time limit. Questions will be short answer, and multiple choice. All questions will be chosen from material included in lab backgrounds and lab reports. Be sure to be able to interpret experimental data and understand the conclusions that can be made. There are absolutely no practicals. There are no online options either. Students coming late will forfeit the time they have missed. SAFETY 1. Safety attire consists of long pants that cover the ankle and shoes that cover the toes and the top of the foot. 2. 3. Failure to wear proper safety attire in each lab will result in dismissal from lab and receiving a grade of 0 on any quiz or assignment missed. There is absolutely no food, drinks, and gum permitted in the lab at any time. Mandatory University Online Safety Training: Students registered for this course must complete all required lab safety training prior to entering the lab and participating in any activities. Once completed, the lab safety training is valid for the remainder of the same academic year (i., through the following August) and must be completed a new in subsequent years. There are no exceptions to this university policy. Lab Safety Training Course Instructions: 1. Log into Canvas. 2. Find Safety on your dashboard. It will be present only if training is required. 3. Click from the left pane to start and follow the instructions.
