Course Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, the student will:

1.   Identify, by definition or illustration, the components of a 
     cell. 
2.   Identify the four primary classifications of basic human 
     tissue. 
3.   Characterize the different tissues (epithelial, connective, 
     muscle, neural) by function, location, cell type and cell 
     shape. 
4.   Identify histologic structures of the oral mucous membrane, the 
     salivary glands and the salivary ducts. 
5.   Identify the components and functions of saliva. 

6.   Identify, by definition and time frame the periods of prenatal 
     development. 
7.   Describe the primary embryonic layers and identify the body 
     organs or structures derived from each. 
8.   Identify structures and process of embryonic development of the 
     face and oral cavity.
9.   Explain the process of palatal development. 
10.  Identify by definition and embryonic time periods of 
     development of the facial malformations (cleft palate, cleft 
     lip). 
11.  Outline, in chronological sequence, the stages of facial 
     development. 
12.  Describe the stages of tooth development and identify the 
     embryonic tissue from which each component of tooth is derived. 
13.  Define tooth germ and its component. 
14.  Identify the structures derived from the enamel organ, dental 
     papilla, and dental sac.
15.  Describe using the composition, origin and development 
     sequence, dentinogenesis. 
16.  Describe using composition, origin and developmental sequence, 
     amelogenesis. 
17.  Describe the formation, composition and function of enamel, 
     dentin, cementum, pulp, periodontal ligament, and alveolar 
     bone. 
18.  Identify microscopic structures of enamel, dentin, cememtum, 
     periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. 
19.  Describe the developmental changes of the oral cavity in 
     regards to tooth development and eruption.  
20.  Identify, by sequential time frame, the eruption patterns of 
     the permanent dentition. 
21.  Identify, by developmental time frame, the calcifications 
     periods of crown and root completion of the permanent.


              
              
Methods of Evaluation:
Assignment/Examination Policy:
 
It is essential that the student stay current with assignments, 
postings and examinations. Assignments and examinations must be 
completed by the posted date. Failure to complete assignments and 
examinations by the posted date will result in a zero (0) for that 
assignment.
 
Course Policies:

Each module of study must be completed within the week it is 
assigned. Modules will be accessible to the student at the beginning 
of each scheduled week.
 
ATTENDANCE POLICY:

“Attendance” is mandatory. Students must logon to the course for the 
first time by Monday, August 25, 2008. Students must continue to log 
on to the course at least three times a week for the remainder of 
the semester. Students who do not log on to the course for a week 
after the withdrawal date will be assigned an “Early F”. 

Student participation is very important in this class.  Topic 
discussion forums afford each student an opportunity to share in the 
learning process while making cyber- contact with fellow students to 
enhance the educational experience and heighten levels of learning.  
Each student has many unique opportunities to add thought and 
increase awareness of subject matter throughout the course.
 
Students are expected to log in on the first day of each week and 
attend a minimum of three times in the week, througout the week to 
earn the topic discussion points.  
 
A student registering late in any course will be counted absent for 
those class meetings missed prior to the late registration for that 
course.



TESTING:  
ALL TESTING WILL BE ADMINISTERED IN THE WARRINGTON CAMPUS ASSIGNED 
COMPUTER LAB ROOMS IN BUILDING 3100.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  EXAMS WILL BE 
ADMINISTERED ON SCHEDULED TUESDAY MORNINGS FROM 8:00 AM TO 10:00 
AM.  PLEASE NOTE EXAM DATES ON SCHEDULE.  THESE DATES WILL BE THE 
ONLY TIMES THAT STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE ON CAMPUS FOR DEH 
1130W, EMBRYOLOGY/HISTOLOGY CLASS.


The student’s knowledge will be evaluated by the following criteria:
 
•   Module assignments (12 x 3 points each)	         10%
•   Bulletin Board assignments (12 x 3 points each)    10%
•   Exams (4 x 25 points each)                         50%
•   Final Exam (Cummulative 50 points)                 30%
              
Any final grade below 75% will result in your dismissal from the 
dental hygiene program.  This is per ADA Accreditation and Pensacola 
Junior College Dental Hygiene Program standards.
