He has served as a member of the Faculty Senate, which is the governing body of the college, and as a member of the Teaching and Learning Academy, which sets the standards for the acquisition of tenure by faculty members. Welcome to the Web site for Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, Thirteenth Edition by Gerard J. At Valencia, he frequently serves on faculty hiring committees. Derrickson’s study at Duke was in the physiology division within the department of cell biology, so while his degree is in cell biology, his training focused on physiology. He received his bachelor’ s degree in biology from Morehouse College and his doctorate in cell biology from Duke University. Tortora is the author of several best-selling science textbooks and laboratory manuals.īryan Derrickson is professor of biology at Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as general biology and human sexuality. In 1996, he received a National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) excellence award from the University of Texas and was selected to represent Bergen Community College in a campaign to increase awareness of the contributions of community colleges to higher education. In recognition of his commitment, he was the recipient of MACUB’s 1992 President’s Memorial Award.

He is a member of many professional organizations, including the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB).Ībove all, Tortora is devoted to his students and their aspirations. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master’s degree in science education from Montclair State College. Inferior to the fundus is the large central portion of the stomach, called the body. The rounded portion superior to the body and to the left of the cardia is the fundus. The cardia surrounds the superior opening of the stomach. Tortora is professor of biology and former biology coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology.
