COURSE CONTENT
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Describe the function of the organ systems of the body.
2. Describe in detail the biochemical and cellular mechanisms that maintain homeostasis.
Objectives:
Untitled document
In order to achieve these learning outcomes, during the course the students will:
1. Describe the characteristics of the scientific method and how it forms the basis of all modern
scientific research.
2. Define homeostasis and explain how feedback mechanisms function to maintain homeostasis.
3. Explain relationships between structure and function at the molecular, cellular, and systems
level of biological organization.
4. Explain how the structures of proteins and cells support the function of organ systems.
5. Compare and contrast the basic mechanisms by which cells, organs, and systems of the body
carry out their specific physiological functions and maintain homeostasis.
6. Describe and evaluate the body's response to some major physiological stressors such as
exercise, fasting, severe temperature extremes, injury, hemorrhage, infection, and diarrhea.
7. Apply knowledge about the function of the body to understanding the physiological basis for
some of the major diseases and disorders of the human body.
8. Conduct physiological experiments that elucidate the functions of the body's organ systems.
