CHAPTER 1: INTRO
Objective 1: Students will be able to define anatomy and physiology
+3
1. What is Anatomy?
2. What is Physiology?
3. __________________________ is the study of the human body by organ
systems, and this is how we study anatomy.
Objective 2: Students will be able to describe the seven levels of organization of the
body, and give the major characteristics of each level.
Please provide the missing level of organization, or explain/give an example.
+7
1. Chemical 2. This level contains small structures within cells that have specific functions
3. Cell 4. This level consists of a group of cells
5. Organ 6. This level is classified as a group of organs b/c they have a common set of functions
7. Organism Objective 3: Students will be able to identify and describe the organ systems and
give the major functions of each.
Please list 5 organ systems and describe their major functions/characteristics of each
+5
Objective 4: Students will be able to describe the characteristics of life.
Please either list the characteristics of life or describe the one given, as related to the
human body.
1. Metabolism +6
2. This characteristic of life refers to the formation of new cells or even a new
person/organism
3. Responsiveness 4. This characteristic of life is the parts of an organism (such as yourself) have specific
relationships to each other (like you as well :-) and those parts interact to perform specific
functions.
5. Growth 6. This characteristic of life pertains to the change in cell structure and function from
generalized to specific (i.e. from an embryonic stem cell to a liver cell)

Objective 5: Students will be able define homeostasis and explain why it is
important.
+2
1. What is homeostasis?
2. Give an example of how the body maintains homeostasis.
Objective 6: Students will be able to diagram a negative-feedback mechanism and a
positive-feedback mechanism, and describe their relationship to homeostasis.

the body?
+4
2. Why?
3. Diagram/graph a positive-feedback mechanism, when heart rate increases.
4. Diagram/graph a negative-feedback mechanism, when blood pressure increases.
Objective 7: Students will be able to use directional terms for the human body in
order to locate specific body structures, as well as describe a person in the
anatomical position.
