Untitled document
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Describe the scientific method and apply this knowledge to the course
content; differentiate the scientific method from other modes of
knowing.
2. Summarize major contributions of the scientific study of anatomy and
physiology to civilization.
3. Relate basic chemical concepts and cell structure to the function of
organs.
4. Name the organ systems, identify the major organs, and describe their
functions.
5. Summarize the structures and functions necessary to accomplish
movement of the body.
6. Compare how body-wide communication is accomplished by the nervous and
endocrine systems.
7. Name the factors essential for life, and describe how they are
supplied, transported and regulated inside the body.
8. Compare the various structures and processes used for defense against
injury and infection.
9. Describe human reproductive structures and mechanisms.
10. Apply core concepts of anatomy and physiology to understanding the
basis for some common medical conditions.
11. Use a microscope effectively and be able to perform basic
physiological measurements such as EKG and blood pressure.
