It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (including nutrition), urinary (including fluid and electrolyte balance), and reproductive (including human development and genetics). Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

Learning Outcomes	1. Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question) 2. Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question) 3. Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems. (PSLOs 1, 2, 3)(Measured by embedded test question) 4. Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis.

Course Policies
Instructor Policies	It is imperative that you check your email EVERY DAY. This is an online class and email is the only way I have to contact you. You MUST use the "Send Email" link from within the course when emailing me. If you wish to email me about a grade, you must email me from the "send email" link within the course website.
Attendance Policy	Absences, Tardiness, and Make-ups: Attendance is required, and punctuality is expected. If you miss 5 classes with unexcused absences, you may be dropped from the course by the instructor. You are responsible for all materials covered in class. If you quit coming to class and do not officially drop, your grades will be averaged, and you will receive the grade represented by this average. The administrative details are your responsibility (You must officially drop the course.). You can only miss one exam with an excused absence (excluding the final), and you must take the final exam. Excused absences include medical and family emergencies and are approved at the instructor's discretion. Poor preparation or conflict with other scheduled exams is not a valid excuse for missing an exam. Written proof from a physician will be required for medical and family emergencies in order to substitute the score for the missed exam. If you miss an exam because of an excused absence, your lowest lecture exam score will be used as the score for the exam that you missed. Excused absences include medical and family emergencies and are determined at the instructor's discretion. You can only miss one exam with an excused absence (excluding the final), and you must take the final exam. Poor preparation or conflict with other scheduled exams is not a valid excuse for missing an exam. You will be able to take an exam after the scheduled availability period, but there will be a time penalty imposed (10% time reduction for each day that student is late taking the exam). This is an online class. It is YOUR responsibility to have a RELIABLE computer AND Internet access for the duration of this course. Please note that while many of the course materials can be accessed using a cell phone and/or tablet device, there are many questions on the homework assignments that can only be accessed on a computer (desktop or laptop). In addition, EXAMS CAN ONLY BE TAKEN ON A LAPTOP OR DESKTOP COMPUTER. If your computer breaks for any reason during the semester, IT DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM THE REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES OF THE COURSE. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure all assignments and exams are completed by their due date. Any assignments not completed by the end of the availability date will receive a grade of "0" zero.
