Policy on Plagiarism 1. Authentication of Student Work and Recording of Performance. 2. All academic work and materials submitted for assessment must be the original work of the student or group of students. 3. Students are prohibited from submitting any material prepared by, or purchased from another person or company other than themselves. 4. Students shall adopt the American Psychological Association (2016) referencing style in all academic papers and related written materials. 5. All written assessments, such as academic essays, reaction papers, case studies, research capstones: Opportunity Analysis Project—Designing a New Venture, Feasibility Study, Strategic Management, Special Topics Capstone, Projects and Integrated Papers and the like shall be uploaded to TURNITIN Plagiarism Software through the SMART Learning--UOF website to determine the extent of Similarity Index. 6. The TURNITIN report shall show “zero (0)” percent Similarity Index. If in cases, there are a few percentages of similarity, they shall be then referred to sources of similarity. If the percentages are attributed to UOF’s forms and templates, the similarity shall be considered null and void. 7. Students shall then download, print, and submit to the lecturer the results of their written works assessments together with the results of the similarity index report.  2. Policy on Submission of Written Assessments 1. All written assessments shall be submitted on or before 12:00 mid-night, a day before the deadline, to the lecturer in class in a hard copy accompanied by the TURNITIN Similarity Index Report, which is included as an appendix of the assessment. 2. E-mailed assessments will not be accepted, except where specifically necessary to fulfill the assessment requirements. 3. Students are advised to keep a full copy of every assignment they submit.  3. Policy on Attendance 1. For students enrolled in the Health and Sciences programs the following applies: a. Attendance Procedures of Theory Sessions: 1) Calculation of absenteeism: a) A student shall be considered absent if he has more than 10 minutes late to a class. b) Absenteeism with or without an excuse equals part of the calculated absence. 2) Student responsibilities during absenteeism: a) Obtaining course material during absenteeism. b) Completion of all assignments. c) Arrange with the lecturer(s) for any form of make-up classes and related assessments such as quizzes, assignments, and other forms of prerequisite assessments. d) The missed class due to illness: a stamped medical certificate from a government hospital or attested medical report, if it is from a private hospital or doctor, shall be submitted by the concerned students.  3. Policy on Attendance (continued) 3) Consequences of absenteeism: a) Absenteeism of 5% of the semester’s total teaching hours: 1st written warning. b) Absenteeism of 10% and more of the semester’s total teaching hours: Final written warning and the student shall be excluded from attending the Final Examination and shall receive a failing mark which is Failed (F). All cases exceeding the maximum absenteeism (including absence with legitimate reasons) of 10% and more of the semester’s total teaching hours, will be withdrawn from the course for the full semester.  3. Policy on Attendance (continued) b. Attendance Procedures of Clinical Laboratory Sessions and assigned Clinical Experiential Learning Placements (Clinical Practice Placement): 1) 100% Attendance is required for scheduled Clinical Laboratory Sessions and assigned Clinical Experiential Learning Placements (Clinical Practice placement). Completion of all required (scheduled) Clinical Laboratory Sessions and Clinical Experiential Learning Placements is a requirement for graduation. 2) Make-up sessions for missed Clinical Laboratory Sessions and Clinical Experiential Learning Placements assigned, will occur during the Fall and Summer breaks. Thus, Zero % absence tolerance is expected from all students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program. 3) Students leaving the Clinical Laboratory Sessions or assigned Clinical Experiential Learning Placement setting without permission shall be marked absent. 4) Students leaving the Clinical Laboratory Sessions for more than 15 minutes or assigned Clinical Experiential Learning Placement setting for more than 20 minutes, will be marked absent. Permission granted to students to leave the setting (within the timeframes) could be done by UOF’s Lecturers or by the Clinical Practice’s Preceptor(s). This condition should be applied within the identified time frames described.(Clinical Laboratory Sessions: maximum 15 minutes; Clinical Experiential Learning Placement setting: Maximum 20 minutes).  3. Policy on Attendance (continued) b. Attendance Procedures of Clinical Laboratory Sessions and assigned Clinical Experiential Learning Placements (Clinical Practice Placement) (continued): 5) The Head of the Department, UOF’s lecturer facilitating the course, as well as the student’s Academic Advisor will be informed about all written warnings forwarded to students. 6) The Head of Department shall submit the workflow named “Student Course Drop” for absenteeism of 10% and more of the semester’s total teaching hours” to the Department of Admission and Registration (DAR) to withdraw the student from the course.  4. Policy on Makeup Examination 1. A student who is eligible to take the final examination in a course but was not present in the final examination shall not be assigned a grade for the final examination-assessment component, pending review of the case. 2. If the reasons for missing the final examination are verified and justified, an Incomplete (INC) grade shall be recorded, and the student shall be permitted to take a completion or make-up exam for one time, no later than the end of the add-drop period of the subsequent semester. 3. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the required documents of the reasons regarding missing the Final Examination according to the timelines announced by the Department of Admission and Registration (DAR). 4. Courses with an INC grade are not counted in the calculation of the student’s CGPA during that semester. 5. If an INC grade is assigned in a course that is the prerequisite for a subsequent course, the student may not be registered in the subsequent course until the INC grade is completed and replaced with a passing grade. 6. No student may graduate with a grade of Incomplete on the academic record. 7. There shall be no further chances arranged for a student who misses the completion or make-up examination, as scheduled.  5. Policy on Class Conduct 1. Students must observe appropriate behavior while being university students. 2. Students must understand and value the importance of the course learning outcomes and how they are assessed. 3. Students are encouraged to participate during class discussions and reject any hesitation. 4. Students cannot leave the class during lecture time. 5. Class disturbance a. Mobile phones must be switched off during class. Using mobile phones will be considered misbehavior for that class. b. Students found whispering or talking during lectures will be asked to leave the class and will be considered misbehavior. c. Markings under misbehavior (from items a and b) will be tracked by the SIS, and one percent will be deducted for each occurrence. If the number of incidents reaches 3, such students are treated as "FA" in the course and will be referred to Student Affairs for counseling. d. Students are expected to use a variety of references in their assignments (books, online sources, journals, etc.).  5. Policy on Class Conduct (continued) 6. Students are required to do further reading prior to coming to class. 7. No handouts of any kind are given. Students must learn from textbooks and journal articles. 8.

Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology By the end of this session, students will be able to ………………………… 1. Interpret the organization of the human body 2. Differentiate the tissues © McGraw Hill 1  History of the Study of the Human Body Early Anatomists and Physiologists were concerned with treating illnesses. Healers relied on superstitions and magic. Later, herbs and natural chemicals. Early study involved dissection of cadavers Techniques for accurate observations and performing experiments were 1543 Illustration developed. Andreas Vesalius Scientific method are now employed to gather information about the workings of the body © McGraw Hill 1  Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy is the study of the structure (morphology) of the body and its parts (form and organization) Physiology studies the functions of these parts and how they work and interact The two disciplines are closely interrelated, as the functional role of a part depends on how it is constructed. Anatomists rely on observation and dissection, while physiologists employ experimentation. © McGraw Hill 2  Anatomical Terminology Anatomical position: Body erect, face forward, upper limbs at sides with palms forward Superior – above another part Inferior – below another part Anterior (ventral) – toward the front Posterior (dorsal) – toward the back Medial – closer to the midline (when body is divided into left and right halves) Lateral – toward the side, away from midline  Terms of Relative Position Bilateral – paired structures with one on each side Ipsilateral – structures on the same side of body Contralateral – structures on the opposite sides of body Proximal – closer to point of attachment to trunk or another referenced body part Distal – further from the point of attachment to trunk or another referenced body part Superficial or peripheral – near the surface or outward Deep – more internal  Terms of Relative Position Study of body organization requires cutting the body along specific planes or sections: Sagittal section: Longitudinal section that divides the body into right and left portions If the section passes along the midline and divides the body into equal parts, it is a median or midsagittal section A section lateral to the midline is parasagittal Transverse (horizontal) section: Section that divides the body into superior and inferior portions Frontal (coronal) section: Section that divides the body into anterior and posterior portions ©Aaron Roeth Photography  Levels of Organization The human body can be studied at a variety of levels of organization. 1. Chemicals: a. Atoms are the smallest unit of a chemical b. Molecules consist of two or more atoms c. Macromolecules are larger particles composed of small molecules bound together 2. Organelles are aggregates of macromolecules used to carry out a specific function in the cell; this is the first level of organization found only in living organisms. © McGraw Hill 24  Levels of Organization 3. Cells are the basic units of structure and SLO 1 achieved function in all living things. Interpret the organization of the human body 4. Tissues are groups of cells that function WELL, DONE!!! together. 5. Organs are groups of tissues with specialized functions. 6. Organ systems are groups of organs function together. 7. Organisms are composed of organ systems functioning together. © McGraw Hill 25  Organization of Body Systems: Types of Tissues Tissue—a collection of cells of the same type that perform a common function. There are 4 major tissue types in the body: 1. Connective tissue—binds and supports body parts. 2. Muscular tissue—moves the body and its parts. 3. Nervous tissue—conducts nerve impulses. 4. Epithelial tissue—covers body surfaces; lines body cavities. 14 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education 1.Types of Connective Tissue  A. Fibrous Connective Tissue A1.Loose fibrous connective tissue supports epithelium and many internal organs. E.g., Adipose tissue stores fat. Adipocytes—cells filled with liquid fat. Functions in energy storage, insulation and cushioning. Found primarily under the skin and around some organs. A2.Dense fibrous connective tissue contains densely packed collagen fibers. Found in tendons (connect muscles to bones) and ligaments (connect bones to bones). 28 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  B. Supportive connective tissue Two major types: B1.cartilage and B2. bone. Functions in structure, shape, protection, and leverage for movement. B1.Cartilage. Chondrocytes are the cells that make up the cartilage tissue Lacks a direct blood supply, so heals slowly. 29 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  Cartilage(cont.) 3 types, distinguished by the type of fibers found in the matrix: 1. Hyaline cartilage—fine collagen fibers. Found in the tip of the nose, ends of long bones and the fetal skeleton. 2. Elastic cartilage—lots of elastic fibers. Found in the outer ear. 3. Fibrocartilage—strong collagen fibers. Found in the disks between vertebrae. 30 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  B2.Bone B2.Bone The most rigid connective tissue. Matrix is made of collagen and calcium salts. There are two types of bone tissue: 1.compact and 2. spongy. 31 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  C. Fluid Connective Tissue There are two types of fluid connective tissue: C1.Blood and C2.Lymph. C1. Blood. Made of a fluid matrix called plasma and cellular components called formed elements. 3 formed elements: Red blood cells (erythrocytes)—cells that carry oxygen. White blood cells (leukocytes) —cells that fight infection. Platelets (thrombocytes)—pieces of cells that clot blood. 32 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  Fluid Connective Tissue C2.Lymph. Derived from the fluid surrounding the tissues. Contains white blood cells. Lymphatic vessels absorb excess interstitial fluid and return lymph to the cardiovascular system. 33 ©2020McGraw-Hill Education  Check Your Progress 1.
