BIO 201IN - Human Anatomy and Physiology I [SUN# BIO 2201]

1. Identify anatomical structures of organ systems.
2. Describe physiological functions of organ systems.
3. Evaluate the effect of homeostatic mechanisms on organ systems using observations of biomedical data.

1. Describe the levels of organization and the general functions of the eleven organ systems.
2. Describe the importance of homeostasis and the mechanisms involved in maintaining normal physiological limits.
3. Use anatomical terms to describe body regions, sections, cavities, and relative positions.   
4. Identify the structures of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
5. Describe the functions of the cells and organs of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
6. Describe physiological movements and classification of joints by observing their structure and function.
7. Describe the special sense organs and the physiology of the five special senses.
8. Critically examine assumptions about how organs and organ systems function and the implications of these assumptions for individuals and society.
