Course Synthesis, Analysis and Evaluations

Standards

*Investigate the complementary activity of major body systems which provide cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon dioxide.

*Demonstrate understanding of skin and body membranes responses/defenses against disease.

*Understand the science behind bone formation, growth and function.

*Describe the role of actin, myosin, Ca2 and ATP in the cellular and molecular basis of muscle contraction.

*Explain how the nervous system mediates communication between different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment.

*Understand how and why neurons transmit electrochemical impulses.

*Describe the feedback loops in both the endocrine and nervous system that regulate conditions in the body.

*Understand that digestion includes secretion of stomach acid, digestive enzymes (amylases, proteases, nucleases, lipases) and bile salts into the digestive system.

*Describe the homeostatic role of the kidneys in the removal of nitrogenous wastes from the blood.

*Demonstrate understanding of the role of the liver in maintaining blood glucose balance and detoxification

*Understand that hormones (reproductive, osmoregulatory) provide internal feedback mechanisms for homeostasis.
