Lab Practical 1 – A215 Basic Human Anatomy Laboratory Manual
Welcome to A215 Lab! This class will provide you with a good foundation upon which all other courses related to the human body will build. In this section, we will get our feet wet by learning common anatomical terminology. Lab Practical 1 includes structures covered in the following chapters of your textbook:
- Chapter 1-A First Look at Anatomy
- Chapter 2-The Cell: Basic Unit of Structure and Function
- Chapter 4-Tissues Level or Organization
- Chapter 5-The Integumentary System
Understanding the Building Blocks of Anatomy
From there, we will review the building blocks of this course beginning with a review of cellular anatomy. Did you know that when cells combine to perform a common function, they form what is known as a tissue? There are four primary tissue types in the human body including epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue, and nervous tissue. Once we have a good grasp of the tissue types we will learn about their characteristics under a light microscope.
The Integumentary System and Body Structure
From there, we will move on to our first organ system; the Integumentary System, which we can see on the surface of our body. We tend to care a lot about this system because it is visible to us and to everyone around us. Consider how much money we spend each year for the benefit of this system; for example, shampoo for our hair, nail polish for our nails, and wrinkle cream for our skin. Additionally, students must be able to Identify the abdominopelvic quadrants in the human body.
Module Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of this module demonstrates that you have met the following Module Level Outcomes (MLO). To Identify and Understand Most Major Body Systems, the requirements are summarized below:
| Topic Category | Learning Objectives and Requirements |
|---|---|
| Cell Model | Identify the organelles on the cell model and understand the functions of the organelles on the cell model. |
| Mitosis Model | Identify the stages of mitosis on the mitosis models and understand the specific characteristics of the phases of mitosis to include: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. |
| Cell Membrane Model | Identify the structures on the cell membrane model and understand the characteristics of a phospholipid membrane to include the hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails and integral (transmembrane) protein. |
| Integumentary System Model | Identify the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, the layers within the epidermis, the epidermal derivatives, the structures within the dermis and hypodermis, and understand the functions of the structures listed. |
| Tissues | Identify all four tissue types (epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue and nervous tissue) by using a light microscope and identify the common locations for the tissue types in the human body. |
Study Strategies and Review
The videos will introduce you to the models and, associated structures, that you are expected to learn for Lab Practical 1. You are encouraged to watch the videos multiple times as part of your preparation for Lab Practical 1. Be able to identify every structure that is labelled in the document. Hint: Learn the material by hand drawing each model, illustration and histology slide and adding the labels for each on your drawing. Rewrite the names of every structure on this list to help with retention, recall and spelling.
