- Define anatomy and physiology and explain their relationship.
- Name (in order of increasing complexity) the different levels of structural
organization that make up the human body, and explain their relationships.
- List the organ and systems of the body and briefly explain the location
and major function(s) of each organ.
- Describe the anatomical position and use correct anatomical terminology
to describe body directions, regions, and body planes.
- Name the specific serous membranes and note their locations and function.
- Define homeostasis and explain its importance. Diagram negative feedback loops for both Nervous and Endocrine systems.
- Define negative feedback and describe its role in maintaining body homeostasis.Give
examples of controlled conditions.
- Define positive feedback and note specific situations in which it contributes
to homeostasis. Give examples of controlled conditions.
