A bit about you – Introduce yourself to your neighbour – What did you have for dinner last night? This week for A&P: – Module introduction and admin – Intro to anatomy 2  Lecture capture – Many lecture theatres new! are now set up to record the slides and audio of lectures as they are delivered (Yuja). Please be aware that: Any conversations near the microphone will be captured if recording is active ie. any Q&A / discussions. Not all staff will be recording lectures.Press record!!! 3  Anatomy & Physiology (BI1AP3) Introduction and Module Admin Dr Natasha Barrett [email protected] 4 Copyright University of Reading  Learning Objectives By the end of this session you should be able to: Find information on Blackboard including the assessment details and deadlines Explain the approach this module will take to teaching anatomy and physiology. Describe the survival needs for 5 tomy & Physiology (A&P) - Ad 20 credit module taught over 2 semesters Covers the anatomy and physiology of the different systems in the body Lectures: Weekly in-person lectures with optional learning activities to complete at home Seminars: Regular in-person sessions to apply theory covered and common biological calculations Practicals: 3 per semester, attendance is compulsory and linked to the assessments 6  A&P natomy is the study of the structure of the bod siology is the study of the function in good hea Pathology is the study of the disease. This module aims to study the A&P of the Human body and consolidate this through comparisons made to other vertebrates. We’ll take a systems approach to the body. We’ll focus on how the body works in health rather than disease. We’ll explore how the functional requirements drive the structure of the body, whilst the structure enables the functional capabilities. Trigger warning: Most modules in Biology degrees will contain 7 Autumn: Week 1 Introduction to anatomy (Dr Natasha Barrett) Week 2/3 Introduction to physiology (Dr Natasha Barrett) Weeks 4/5/7 The cardiovascular system (Dr Sam Boateng) Week 6 Mid semester week Week 8/9 The respiratory system (Dr Lizzy Lander) Weeks 10/11 The urinary system (Dr Natasha Barrett) 8 Spring: Week 1/2/3 Introduction to the digestive system (Dr Renee Lee) Week 4 Mid-semester week Week 5/6/7 Introduction to the musculoskeletal system (Dr Natasha Barrett and Dr Sam Boateng) Easter vacation Weeks 8/9/10 Introduction to the nervous system (Dr Natasha Barrett) Week 11/12Revision session and completion of 9 Blackboard: 10 Blackboard: 11 Practicals: 3 practicals each semester (total 6 practicals). Attendance is compulsory and linked to the summative coursework assessment. Some programmes must pass each piece of assessment to progress to year 2. Autumn: PRACTICAL 1: Transport of substances across cell membranes PRACTICAL 2: Cardiovascular Practical: ECG PRACTICAL 3: Respiratory Practical: Spirometry Spring: PRACTICAL 4: Digestion Practical: Blood glucose PRACTICAL 5: Musculoskeletal Practical: Actin-myosin 12  For practical classes students will be split into groups (see personal timetable). See Blackboard for more details. Practical classes – Do’s and Don’ts: Do read the protocol before the practical (don’t print it as provided) Use the lockers in Hopkins (no bags / coats in the lab) Do arrive early – late arrivals will not be allowed into class and will have a mark-penalty in the summative assessment. Don’t bring a lab coat as they will be provided Do bring your campus card to tap in Do bring calculators, rulers, pens, pencils… Do tie long hair back Legs and feet must be covered ie. no shorts / open 13 Assessment: Requirements for a pass: A mark of 40% overall. Some programmes must obtain >40% in each piece of assessment to progress to year 2. Examination Summer examination (in-person, closed book, MCQs and single best answer questions) contributes 70% of the overall assessment for this module. In Course Assessment The in-course assessment consists of 2 summative Blackboard tests (1/semester) each linked to a practical class (15% Autumn each). (deadlines TBC on Blackboard): Transport (formative): Week 4(8), deadline 1st Nov, 12noon. Cardiovascular (formative): Week 8(12), deadline 29th 14 Nov, 12noon. Coursework assessments (30%): Each practical is linked to an online Blackboard test: Two formative (for practice), and one summative (for marks) each semester. Two summative Blackboard tests each worth 15% of final mark. Attendance at all of the practicals is compulsory. Non-attendance will lead to either marks being zero’d or a penalty applied. Late arrivals will not be allowed into the class and will receive a mark-penalty. Some programmes must pass (>40%) each piece of assessment (coursework and exam) to progress to year 2. If you miss a practical due to illness or other exceptional circumstances, you must email the 15 Attenders more likely to do well: Students that engage with their studies typically do better than students that don’t engage. BI1AP12 Attendance vs marks 2023-24 100 90 80 70 Overall mark (%) 60 50 f(x) = 1.2795782116208 x + 34.217060101461 R² = 0.220558288490363 40 40% pass mark 30 20 10 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Attendance at lectures (of 17 recorded sessions) Low attenders scored on average 12% lower than high attenders (p=0.000000000000191). Last year 36% (130/360) of students on the module had to resit something (in August). 15% 16 How much study should I be doing? Each 10 credit module = 100 hours of study. Therefore each semester = 100 hours of A&P study Lectures: 17 hours Seminars: 3 hours Practicals: 6 hours Online Assessments: 6 hours = 32 hours 68 hours remaining: Allow 30 hours for exam revision = 38 hours over the term 17 So, what is self-study? “a way of learning about a subject that involves studying alone at home, rather than in a classroom with a teacher” Self-study includes: Pre-lecture preparation Learning activities that accompany the lectures Post-lecture review of material (audio and ppt) Wider reading – books, papers, internet, youtube 18 Reading Lists (on Blackboard): All available in the library: For Biomolecular students: Ross and Wilson (2018). Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness. 14th Ed. Churchill Livingstone – online version via libary For Zoology/Animal Sciences students: Aspinall and Cappello (2020) Introduction to Animal and Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology. 4th Ed. CABI.

Complete any learning activities Be professional Attend all classes, be punctual When emailing lecturers write formally from your university email account and include details of the module you are writing about, your full name, degree and 20 Help! If you are struggling with either the lecture material or the practical assignments… Arghhhhh! I just don’t Have you tried get it!!! going over the lecture material Of course I again? have… Did you check out the books in the library? It still doesn’t make Why don’t sense!!! you go to Great idea! the next seminar? 21  Recap Questions – Module Admin True/False This module expects about 2h study F a week. F Attendance at practicals is optional. The coursework for this module T contributes 30% of the module mark and consist of 2 summative Blackboard tests based on the practicals. 22  Nellie Eales Conservation Centre Meet the family… (Images: vecteezy.com) Harvey and Hana 23  What do we need to survive? Hana noticed that that most of the animals need the same things to survive as Harvey. What do you think we need to survive? Nellie Eales Conservation Centre 24  Survival Needs Communication Intake and elimination Protection and survival 25  Communication The receiving, collating and response to information. – Transport systems – Internal communication – External communication 26 Transport Systems Blood Cardiovascular system Lymphatic system 27  Internal Communication Nervous system – rapid system Endocrine system – slower more precise system 28  External Communication Special senses – Sight, hearing, balance, smell, taste Verbal communication (speech) – Air passing over vocal cords (larynx) Non-verbal communication – Posture and movements 29  Special Senses (EENT) Vision Hearing Olfaction Equilibrium Gustation 30 Verbal Communication (speech) Sound produced in larynx Expired air passes over vocal cords > vibrates Muscles in throat, cheeks and movement of tongue and jaw forms speech 31  Non-Verbal Communication Thought to be 7 universal facial expressions Match the expression 2 to the face: 5 Fear Sadness Contempt Joy Disgust 1 4 7 Surprise Anger 3 6 32  Non-Verbal Communication Can even see it in babies! Fear Sadness Contempt interest 1 2 3 Joy Disgust Surprise 4 5 6 7 Anger Beware of non-universal body language eg. Nodding / shaking of head 33  Recap Questions - Communication True / False The central nervous system consists T of the brain and spinal cord. Gustation is the special sense of F smell. F This facial expression indicates anger. 34  Intake and Elimination Intake – Oxygen – Water – Food Elimination – Carbon dioxide – Urine – Faeces 35  Respiration The respiratory system enables intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide 36  Urinary System and Hydration Intake – 6-10 half pint glasses per day – Many people are dehydrated Absorption – In the small and large intestines – Rapid transit = less absorption Excretion – Water, urea (protein break down), H+, water soluble waste – By kidneys – Urine stored in bladder, excreted in micturition 37  Gastrointestinal Tract The gastrointestinal tract enables ingestion of food and water and elimination of faeces. Intake – Macro and micronutrients Digestion – Breakdown of food Metabolism – Anabolism and catabolism Excretion – Solid waste (faeces) 38  Recap Questions – Intake and elimination True / False Respiration is involuntary. T/ Digestion starts to take place in the F F stomach. We should drink 6-10 half pint T glasses of water per day. 39  Protection and Survival Survival of the individual – Protection against external environment – Defence against infection – Movement Survival of the species – Reproduction 40  Skin Largest organ of body Barrier – Microbes – Chemicals – Dehydration Sensory input Thermoregulation Epidermis / dermis 41  Immune System Non-specific defence – Innate immune cells – Defence at body surfaces Physical barriers eg. skin, mucus, hair, cilia Natural antimicrobial substances eg. saliva, stomach acid, tears – Inflammation Specific defence – Adaptive immune system: Cell mediated immunity (T-lymphocytes) Humoral (Ab) immunity (B-lymphocytes) 42  Musculoskeletal system (MSK) The musculoskeletal system enables movement for hunting, escaping, fighting, reproduction – Skeleton – Joints – Muscles Voluntary / involuntary (reflexes) 43  Reproduction Survival of the fittest Ova, menstrual cycle Sperm Coitus Fertilisation Pregnancy Rearing young / maturation 44  Recap Questions – Survival and Protection True / False The GI tract is the largest organ of the F body. Snot is a really important part of the F adaptive immune system. The musculoskeletal system is T important for survival as it enables hunting, escaping, fighting and reproduction. 45 natomy is the study of the structure of the bod siology is the study of the function in good hea Pathology is the study of the disease.
