2015.16 Human Anatomy and Physiology, Quarter 2
Big Ideas/Key Concepts:
 Anatomy and physiology investigates the interdependence of structure and function to form a living, integrated whole.
 The integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems work together to support, protect, and move body structures as well as maintain
homeostasis.
 The nervous and endocrine systems work in an integrative manner to maintain homeostasis and communicate with all other body
systems.
Standards
Student Friendly “I Can” Statements
Muscular System
CLE 3251.2.1 Identify structures of the muscular system and show the
relationship between the structures and their functions.
Muscular System
I can model the anatomical connections between the skeletal system and
muscular system.
CLE 3251.2.2 Investigate physiological mechanisms that allow the
muscular system to function.
I can differentiate visceral, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissues based on
their structure and physiological role in the movement of body parts
and/or substances through body parts.
I can explain and model, using appropriate terminology, the anatomy of
a skeletal muscle and a muscle fiber, and relate the terminology
(sarcomere, actin, myosin) to the sliding filament theory of muscle
contraction.
I can identify major muscles of the body (including but not limited to:
sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, deltoid, biceps brachii, triceps brachii,
pectoralis major, intercostals, orbicularis oris, rectus abdominis,
latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, sartorius, quadriceps femoris,
tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, biceps femoris, rectus femoris,
masseter, frontalis, Achilles tendon) and explain how they generate
movement.

Nervous System
CLE 3251.3.1 Compare and contrast the anatomy and physiology of the
central and peripheral nervous systems.
Nervous System
I can anatomically distinguish between the central nervous system and
the peripheral nervous system, relating their structures and locations to
their physiological roles of sensing the body’s internal and external
conditions, integrating sensory information, and producing an effect.
I can compare and contrast the structures and functions of the somatic
nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
CLE 3251.3.2 Describe the structure, function, and developmental
aspects of neurons and their supporting glial cells.
I can model the cellular and subcellular structures of neurons (dendrites,
cell body, axon, and Schwann cells/myelin sheath) and supporting glial
cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells).
CLE 3251.3.3 Investigate the physiology of electrochemical impulses and
neural integration.
I can explain the molecular neurophysiology of membrane potentials and
the conduction of information through synaptic transmission (synapse,
neurotransmitters, action potential, resting potential, and role of
calcium, sodium, and potassium).
HAP.WCE.3 Identify and describe the sequence of events in a reflex arc.
I can accurately sequence the events in a reflex arc.
HAP.WCS.4 Identify and differentiate the protective layers surrounding
the brain and spinal cord.
I can differentiate the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord.
HAP.WCS.5 Investigate the relationships between the structural and
functional areas of the brain.
I can identify the major structural (cerebellum, fissures, cerebral
cortex, lobes of cerebrum, sulci/gyri, corpus callosum, diencephalon,
hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, midbrain, pons) and functional
areas of the brain and explain the relationships between these areas.
I can identify and describe the 12 cranial nerves.
CLE 3251.3.4 Investigate organs for perception of external stimuli and for
the maintenance of homeostasis (the senses).
I can differentiate between the different types of sensory receptors
(mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, pain receptors, chemoreceptors,
and photoreceptors) and identify the form and function of the body’s
sensory organs.

HAP.WCS.6 Identify the major structural and functional components of
the human eye and ear.
I can describe and model the structure and function of the parts of the
eye (cornea, lacrimal apparatus, extrinsic eye muscles, optic nerve,
sclera, aqueous humor, choroid coat, ciliary body, fovea centralis,
macula lutea, iris, lens, optic disc, pupil, retina, suspensory ligaments,
vitreous humor)
I can describe and model the structure and function of the parts of the
ear (auricle, external auditory meatus, tympanic membrane, auditory
ossicles, oval window, cochlea, semicircular canals, vestibule, organ of
Corti)
Honors Addendum
Note for Teachers of Honors: Do not teach this Honors Addendum at the end of
the quarter. Embed the Honors Addendum within the regular Scope & Sequence.
Muscular System
I can give a detailed explanation of the theory of the sliding filament
theory of muscle contraction.
Muscular System
CLE 3251.2.2 Investigate physiological mechanisms that allow the
muscular system to function.
Nervous System
CLE 3251.3.4 Investigate organs for perception of external stimuli and to
the maintenance of homeostasis (the senses).
Nervous System
I can research and explain the process by which homeostasis is
maintained through the sensory organs.
