COURSE DESCRIPTION
A study of the gross and microscopic anatomy of the human body and the normal physiologic functions of the
body at the organ and systems level, homeostatic and regulatory mechanisms for maintaining optimum conditions
in the internal environment of the cells. The course introduces the student to pathophysiology. Students enrolled in
this course shall analyze and present articles published in primary journals.

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS
1. Netiquette. Since most of the activities will be online, students are expected to practice netiquette in all
situations and be guided with the following:
a. During video conferences (Zoom, MS Teams), make sure that microphones are muted when not
needed, and unmute when being asked to talk.
b. Avoid placing unacceptable photos in the profile picture, including in the iStudy profile.
c. Address teacher and classmates properly during online forums and video conferences.
d. Send messages in a professional, courteous manner in chatrooms and in e-mails.
e. Use sentence cases rather than all capitals when communicating.
f. Ask permission before recording video conferences.
2. Proactivity. Students are expected to be proactive while engaging in both synchronous and asynchronous
modes of learning online. Engagement and participation in the online portal, or activities in MS Teams, will
be regularly checked. Communicate through e-mail, text, Messenger, or other means at least once a week.
Be ready for discussions and questions when engaging in video conferencing by studying and having read
assigned topics ahead of time.
3. Punctuality. Students are expected to send in requirements promptly through the iStudy portal or MS
Teams. Reasonable time will be given for work.
4. Consultations. Students are expected to consult with the teacher in multiple modalities. (See information
about the teacher) When doing SMS, make sure to introduce yourself in ALL introductory messages.
Concerns will be addressed through Messenger Group Chat, or personal messaging, whichever applies.
