Learning Goals:
LG 1.1: Overview of Anatomy and Physiology (A&P)


I can define anatomy and physiology and explain how anatomy and physiology are related to each other.
I can use medical terminology (word roots, prefixes, & suffixes) effectively to communicate information about
the human body.
LG 1.2: Levels of Structural Organization & Organ System Overview



I can name the levels of structural organization that make up the human body and explain how they are related
(atoms → organisms).
I can name the organ systems of the body and briefly summarize the major functions of each system.
I can classify the main organs of the body by organ system.
LG 1.3: The Scientific Language of Anatomy



I can verbally describe or demonstrate the anatomical position.
I can use proper anatomical terminology to describe body directions, regions, and body planes.
I can locate the major body cavities and list the chief organs in each cavity.
LG 1.4: Maintaining Life and Homeostasis




I can explain the necessary functions that humans must perform to maintain life (boundaries, movement,
responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, growth).
I can list the survival needs of the human body (nutrients, oxygen, water, body temperature, atmospheric
pressure).
I can define homeostasis and explain its importance to maintaining life.
I can define negative feedback and describe its role in maintaining homeostasis and normal body function.
