Unit 10 – Mammalian Anatomy and Physiology
Remember…
 I can connect two or more targets together into one cohesive idea or explanation.
 I can recall lab/activity concepts, skills, and results from this unit as specific examples of the targets.
 I can use the BioThemes to connect the content and labs/activities in a detailed and reflective manner.
TARGET
10.1
I can list the levels of organization in a multicellular organism, from simple to complex (cell, tissue, organ,
system, body)
10.2
I can describe the major defining characteristics (traits) of the phylum Chordata and the class Mammalia.
10.3
I can describe the major function(s) of the integumentary system (skin).
10.4
I can distinguish between the epidermis and dermis.
10.5
I can describe how hair (fur) and nails (claws) grow from the skin and what they are made of (keratin).
10.6
I can describe the major function(s) of the circulatory system.
10.7
I can identify and label the structures of the heart: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, and
valves between each chamber.
10.8
I can identify and label the structures of the major blood vessels in the body: superior vena cava, inferior vena
cava, pulmonary veins, pulmonary arteries, and the aorta.
10.9
I can describe and diagram (using arrows) the flow of blood around the heart and body (pulmonary circulation
and systemic circulation).
10.10 I can compare and contrast the structure/function of the blood vessels in the body: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
10.11 I can describe the functions of each structure of the circulatory system, and how their form (structure) supports
this function.
10.12 I can describe the major function(s) of the respiratory system.
10.13 I can identify and label the structures of the respiratory system: nose/nasal passages, sinus cavity, pharynx,
larynx, trachea, diaphragm, lung, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
10.14 I can describe the functions of each structure of the respiratory system, and how their form (structure) supports
this function.
10.15 I can explain the process of breathing (inhalation and exhalation) as a result of contractions and relaxations of
the diaphragm muscle.
10.16 I can describe the major function(s) of the digestive system.
10.17 I can identify and label the structures of the digestive system: mouth, teeth, pharynx (epiglottis), salivary
glands, esophagus, stomach (cardiac & pyloric sphincters), duodenum, small intestines, large intestine (colon),
rectum, anus, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.
10.18 I can describe the functions of each structure of the digestive system, and how their form (structure) supports this
function (including the villi of the small intestines/absorption of nutrients).
10.19 I can distinguish between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion and indicate which organs perform which
type(s) of digestion.
10.20 I can describe the major function(s) of the excretory (urinary) system.
10.21 I can identify and label the structures of the excretory system: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
10.22 I can describe the functions of each structure of the excretory system, and how their form (structure) supports this
function.
10.23 I can explain what urine is, how it forms (filtration and reabsorption), and how it exits the body.
10.24 I can describe the major function(s) of the reproductive systems (male and female).
10.25 I can identify and label the structures of the male reproductive system: scrotum, testes, epididymis, vas deferens,
urethra, and penis.
10.26 I can identify and label the structures of the female reproductive system: ovaries, fallopian tubes (oviducts),
uterus, and vagina.
10.27 I can describe the functions of each structure of the reproductive system (both male and female), and how their
form (structure) supports this function.
10.28 I can identify organs we have studied that also belong to the endocrine system (thymus gland, pancreas, ovaries,
and testes) because they produce hormones.
