Learning Outcomes: 1. (Application Level) Describe the interrelationship between
anatomy and physiology; explain the role of homeostatic
balance in bodily functions; and apply the concepts of
positive and negative feedback systems to the maintenance of
homeostasis.
2. (Comprehension Level) Classify structural organization of
the human body and describe how it relates to specific organ
structures and functions.
3. (Application Level) Use anatomical terminology to
describe relative human body positions, sections and regions.
4. (Evaluation Level) Evaluate the structure and functions of
various cellular organelles; describe basic cell biochemical
pathways.
5. (Comprehension Level) Describe the cell cycle, cell
division and how loss of control over cell division can lead to

cancer.
6. (Comprehension Level) Describe tissue types and their
functions, including how they form organs, repair themselves
and the mechanisms used for repair.
7. (Comprehension Level) Describe major functions of the
integumentary system and relate functions to structures found
in the various layers of the skin.
8. (Comprehension Level) Identify the major muscles and
describe the movement associated with each major muscle.
9. (Comprehension Level) Describe bone composition and
texture, types of bone tissue, functions of bone, formation of
bone, bone growth, bone remodeling and repair, the anatomy
of a long bone and homeostatic imbalances of the skeletal
system.
10. (Comprehension Level) Classify the articulations of the
human skeletal system by structure and function.
11. (Comprehension Level) Identify the major bones and
describe how the various bone features connect muscle to
bone.
12. (Comprehension Level) Describe basic skeletal muscle
physiology and explain how the sliding filament mechanism
works.
13. (Comprehension Level) Identify the basic categories of
joints, describe some homeostatic imbalances of joints; and
use the structure of various joints to explain extension,
flexion, adduction and abduction.
14. (Evaluation Level) Evaluate the structural/functional
relationships of skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac
muscle.
15. (Comprehension Level) Describe the nervous system in
terms of being the body's master control and communication
system.
16. (Comprehension Level) List and compare the basic and
major structures/functions of the central nervous system and
peripheral nervous system.
17. (Comprehension Level) Describe how an action potential
works; describe the function of an action potential.
18. (Comprehension Level) Describe structural and
functional relationships of the special senses including taste,
smell, vision, touch, hearing and balance.
19. (Synthesis Level) Apply the foundations of human
anatomy and physiology to a specific set of demonstrable lab
skills, activities and reports in which observation and critical
reasoning skills are employed.
