| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The following models are needed for use in our A & P labs (BIO 111 and BIO 112); courses which are required prerequisites for students entering our Health Profession Programs and are heavily enrolled. Some models are requested in duplicate because they are needed in labs supporting both courses which will be meeting during the same timeframe. In addition, several of the models reflect student requests to make them available for access in the Biology Center (BATCAVERN)/ Models Requested and Use
- Arm with Muscles, Nerves and Vasculature, 2 are needed for A & P 1 and A & P 2 labs
- Leg with Muscles, Nerves and Vasculature, 2 are needed, A & P 1 and A & P 2 labs
- Wards Nephron Model, for A & P 2 lab - present model is old and in unacceptable condition
- SOMOSO Human Larynx and Trachea Model, 2 are needed, one for A & P 2 and one for Biology Center
- SOMOSO Oversized Kidney Model, 2 are needed, one for A & P 2 and one for Biology Center
NOTE: Student performance on weekly quizzes and practical exams will be monitored to see potential beneficial effect of the supporting models. Student feedback will also be monitored. |

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Without quality anatomic models students are not able to conceptualize three-dimensional anatomic structure critical to a holistic understanding of functional anatomy. This is essential in providing background for perspective nursing, radiologic technology, physical therapy assistant, and occupational therapy assistant students. Currently, some existing models are in disrepair due to decades of use, while other models must be shared between labs which present scheduling conflicts and limit availability to students. |
