Content Standards:

SAP1 -2: Students will analyze anatomical structures in relationship to their physiological functions.

• Apply correct terminology when explaining the orientation of body parts and regions.
• Investigate the interdependence of various body systems to each other and to the body as a whole.

SCSh2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory investigations and activities.

• Follow correct procedures for use of scientific apparatus and demonstrate appropriate technique in all laboratory situations.
• Follow correct protocol for identifying and reporting safety problems and violations.

Literacy Standards:

• L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas of conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paragraphing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
• L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments…

Content Objectives (TSWBAT):

1. Distinguish between the terms anatomy and physiology and explain how anatomy and physiology are related.
2. Summarize the levels of structural organization that make up the human body and explain how they are related.
3. Compare and contrast the organ systems of the body, their major functions, and the organs in each.
4. Identify organs in a diagram or torso model.
5. Describe life functions and survival needs of the human body.
6. Explain how homeostasis helps maintain normal body functions.
7. Describe how feedback mechanisms maintain normal body function.
8. Demonstrate and describe the anatomical position.
9. Locate the major body cavities and list the chief organs in each cavity.

Language Objectives:

1. Discuss body directions, surfaces, and body planes regions using proper anatomical terminology.
2. Read documented case studies and solve clinical application scenarios related to unit 1 concepts.
3. Write, discuss, and use key vocabulary appropriately.

Key Vocabulary: anatomy, physiology, levels of organization, body systems, necessary life functions, survival needs, anatomical position, directional terms, body regions, body planes, body cavities, homeostasis, feedback mechanisms, homeostatic imbalance
