Reflection
An integrated study of the anatomy and physiology of human organ systems with a focus on homeostasis and the role of cellular processes involved with maintaining that homeostasis. Topics include the cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems, as well as an introduction to metabolism, nutrition, chemical balance, pregnancy, development, and heredity.
Objective
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of the organs, tissues, cells and molecules involved in the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
- Explain how these systems interact with one another to maintain homeostasis.
- Describe good nutrition to maintain optimal health.
- Describe life processes including pregnancy, human development, and heredity.
