BI 151 - Laboratory for BI 150

Credit Hours: 1

Experiments and demonstrations reinforce concepts presented in the lecture course. Models and dissection of preserved specimens are used to study analytical structures. This lab course is recommended for all students taking BI 150 and is required for students in the health-related professions.

Fulfills SUNY General Education – Natural Sciences.

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

THE MICROSCOPE

demonstrate the proper care in handling the microscope; and
locate and describe the function of each part of the compound microscope.

BODY ORGANIZATION

relate parts of the body by use of the proper directional term;
identify body sections, body planes, body cavities, abdominal pelvic regions;
identify the parts of the body by their regional terms; and
locate selected organs of each major system on the models and indicate the system they belong to.

CHEMICAL LEVEL

demonstrate an understanding of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions; and
construct models of important biological molecules.

CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

perform experiments that demonstrate transport of materials across membranes;
make observations, collect and graph data, and explain the results of experiments on transport across membranes;
simulate various methods of transport across membranes; and
observe and identify the ultrastructure of cells.

HISTOLOGY

recognize and identify the various types of tissues from microscopic and photographic slides;
locate each type of tissue and relate structure to function; and
apply knowledge of tissue to construct an organ - the skin.

SKELETAL SYSTEM

locate and identify the 206 bones of the body on both the articulated and disarticulated skeletons;
locate and identify major bone markings with a representation of each type; and
recognize the various types of joints found in the body and the movements at each joint.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

locate and identify on models the major muscles of the body including representatives of each body movement; and
determine the action of each muscle.

NERVOUS SYSTEM

locate and identify the major parts of the spinal cord and the spinal nerves;
locate and identify the major parts of the brain; dissect a sheep’s brain and compare it to the anatomy of the human brain;
locate and identify the anatomical structures of the eye on models; dissect a sheep’s eye and compare sheep and human anatomy; and
locate and identify the anatomical structures of the ear.
