BI 153 - Laboratory for BI 152


Credit Hours: 1.5

This course includes experiments and demonstrations designed to correlate with lecture topics presented in BI 152. It will include dissection of mammalian systems to illustrate structural concepts.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

  • locate and identify on various models the major endocrine glands and state the hormones secreted by each gland and their function;
  • locate and identify major endocrine glands on a mammalian dissection;
  • identify endocrine disorders from photographs and descriptions; and
  • identify endocrine glands from microscope slides.

HEMATOLOGY

  • distinguish between a red blood cell, a platelet and the five types of white blood cells;
  • perform a differential count, a hemoglobin determination and a hematocrit and be able to determine normal from abnormal values; and
  • type a blood sample and explain the process of agglutination.

THE HEART

  • locate and identify major structures of the human heart on models;
  • dissect a sheep’s heart, locate and identify major structures and compare to the anatomy of the human heart;
  • listen to heart sounds using a stethoscope; and
  • identify the components of an ECG tracing and recognize apparent abnormalities.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

  • locate and identify major blood vessels on the various human models;
  • locate through dissection major arteries and veins;
  • identify similarities and differences between an artery and a vein seen under the microscope; and
  • identify major components of the lymphatic system.

CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY

  • identify various pulse points on the body;
  • measure blood pressure by palpatory and auscultatory methods;
  • calculate mean blood pressure and examine the various factors that affect blood pressure;
  • perform a cardiovascular experiment, collect data and interpret results; and
  • utilize the Schneider Fitness Test and calculate ones score.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  • state the major lung volumes and their capacities;
  • estimate vital capacity and determine actual vital capacities using a wet and a dry spirometer;
  • perform various respiratory experiments and explain the results;
  • locate and identify major respiratory structures; and
  • identify various respiratory structures seen under the microscope.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

  • perform digestion experiments, collect data and explain the results;
  • locate and identify major digestive structures; and
  • identify the layers of the GI tract seen under the microscope.

URINARY SYSTEM AND ACID-BASE BALANCE

  • locate and identify major structures of the urinary system;
  • locate and identify the major external and internal structures of the kidney;
  • locate and identify the major components of the nephron on models;
  • perform a urinalysis and determine normal from abnormal values; and
  • perform and explain the results of acid-base and buffer experiments.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

  • locate and identify major structures of the reproductive system; and
  • identify states of development in human gestational models.
