Anatomy+-+Physiology

EL 1 Identify the levels of organization of the human body and describe how each is dependent on the others.Type in the content of your page here. EL 2 Apply essential language of anatomy and use it to locate and communicate the location of body parts. EL 3 Identify and locate organs and structures of human anatomy using the organ system approach. EL 4 Describe each organ system and relate its structure and physiology to the survival of the individual. EL 5 Relate maturation and aging of each organ system to the health of the individual. EL 6 Investigate homeostatic mechanisms and regulation through organ system integration. EL 7 Describe the characteristics common to all living things.
 * 1) Describe the levels of organization of living things, and recognize that each organizational level relies on the activities of levels below it.
 * 2) Describe the basic functions of living organisms.
 * 3) Compare and contrast how positive and negative feedback is involved in homeostatic regulation.
 * 1) Use anatomical terminology to describe body sections, body regions, and relative positions.
 * 2) Identify the major body cavities and their subdivisions.
 * 1) Identify the 11 organ systems of the human body, the organs that comprise them, their tissues, and their primary functions.
 * 1) Analyze the microscopic and macroscopic anatomy and physiology of the organs of each system, including their dependency upon each other for the survival of the individual.
 * 1) Recognize and relate the anatomical and physiological changes individual organ systems undergo, and how aging of each system affects others.
 * 1) Explain how internal and external environmental conditions challenge positive and negative feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis.
 * 1) Relate responsiveness, growth, reproduction, movement, and metabolism to the survival of a human.
