ANP 1106A

Communication and Movement – the Anatomy and Physiology of the Integumentary,

Musculoskeletal and Nervous Systems
January – April, 2020

The objective of this course is to provide knowledge of the anatomy of the integumentary and musculoskeletal
systems and knowledge of both the anatomy and the physiology of the nervous system. Graduates of this course
will have acquired knowledge of: (1) the microscopic structure of skin and bone, the names of bones, and their bony
landmarks, and the structure of joints, (2) the names of muscles that generate the wide range of body movements,
and, (3) the anatomy of the nervous system as well as the mechanisms by which the nervous system processes
sensory information, generates movements, and participates in higher mental functions such as memory and
thought. This is a 3-credit course, with 3 hours of lectures per week during the winter term.

Exams
There will be three exams throughout the duration of the course, as indicated in the outline below. Please note
that Exam 1 will deal with Anatomical Terms, the Integumentary System, the Skeletal System and Joints. Exam 2
will deal with the Anatomy of the Muscular and Nervous Systems. Finally Exam 3 will concentrate on the Physiology
of the Nervous System. However, please note that Exam 3 will be a final exam in that 15% of this exam will be
composed of questions dealing with material examined during the two midterm exams. If you have to miss an
exam due to illness, you must notify the course coordinator (J. Carnegie) before the exam takes place. You
also have 5 school days from the day of the exam to provide appropriate medical documentation indicating
that you were seen by your family physician or by University Health Services on or before exam day and
found by that health care provider to be too ill on exam day to write your exam. Only then will you be
eligible to write a deferred exam. If you do not write the regular exam or deferred exam, you will obtain a
zero for that section of the course. For those with approved medical documents, deferred midterm #1 will be
written during February Reading Week (location and time to be confirmed) and deferred midterm #2 will be
written on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020, in RGN 3248, beginning at 3:30 PM. The deferred final exam will take
place during June. There is a free shuttle bus for students that regularly runs from the downtown campus to RGN.

Supplemental Exams
Supplemental exams are now available for those students who fail an ANP course but do well enough to obtain
an E. Students who fail with an F are not eligible for a supplemental exam and must repeat the course. The
supplemental exam score will replace the original final exam score in the new calculation of the student’s final grade.
While both final grades will appear on the student’s transcript, only the supplemental mark will be used for grade
point calculations. The supplemental exam for ANP1106A will take place in June and the regulations regarding
illness on exam day indicated in the preceding paragraph also apply to this exam.
