Policies • Lab
• Quizzes – will be given online, in class (must bring a tablet, smart phone (not recommended) or laptop to class).
• Extensions/Makeup Exams
• Late Assignments
• Regrades
Expectations • Mine
– Exams will be graded and returned to students at the next lecture meeting. In-class assignments will be graded and returned at the next lab section.
– Emails will be responded to in a timely fashion (usually within 24 hours).
– I will come prepared to lecture and will try to answer all questions but will admit when I don’t know an answer.
– I will read all of the student feedback I receive and respond when I can
• Ex. Models will be available this semester on reserve at the Grossman library – two hearts and a torso model
• Study guide questions will be at the end of each lecture not as a document in Canvas • Lectures will include basic outlines to guide students through the slides • All TF Lab slides/videos will be available on the course website for students to use if
they choose to do so.
Expectations • Yours
– You will read the syllabus and be familiar with all the material contained within. If you have any questions concerning logistics look at the syllabus first.
– You will come prepared to lecture or lab having done any readings ahead of time and will bring any and all appropriate materials and clothing.
– All work turned in will be your own except when collaboration is allowed (In-Class Exercises). Plagiarism and academic dishonesty is not allowed and will be reported to the Extension School Administrative Board.
– You will treat your classmates, TF’s and the Professor in a respectful and professional manner. Please try to remember we are human and make mistakes.

Functions of blood (circulation) • Gas exchange • Metabolism (metabolites, ions, fuels) • Waste elimination (renal filtration) • Hormone transport • Body defense: immune system • Fluid and ion balance • Heat transfer (storage & dissipation):
temperature regulation

Heart Valves • Heart valves insure unidirecTonal blood flow through the heart
• Atrioventricular (AV) valves – Bicuspid (Mitral)
– Tricuspid
Heart Valves
• AorTc semilunar valve
• Pulmonary semilunar valve
• Semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles

Skeletal vs. Cardiac Muscle
1) Means of S,mula,on 1) Cardiac muscle cells are self-‐excitable and can iniTate
their own depolarizaTon

Lecture #1 – Study Guide Goals 1) What is the composiTon of blood and it’s major
funcTons? 2) How is a red blood cells structure related to its
funcTon?
3) How are skeletal and cardiac muscle similar and how are they different from one another?
4) How are acTon potenTals generated in the heart and how are they affected by the autonomic nervous system?
5) Be able to trace blood flow through the heart, idenTfy the structures involved and their funcTons.
6) Be able to describe the sequence of excitaTon in the heart and relate that to an EKG recording.
7) Be able to label and explain an EKG recording.
