This course is time-consuming. The course units have a mix of DB,
Seminar, & Diagram quiz Unit 5: Introduction to Final Project and
Midterm Exam. Unit 9: Final project paper due. There is a comprehensive final exam
(Unit 10:100 questions).
Course topics: Integumentary, Skeletal, Endocrine, Muscular, Nervous, and the Senses Only
Research must be on one of the above mentioned topics only.
Unit 9 final project: PowerPoint with a maximum of 15 slides.
The title page and reference page are separate.
Introduced in Unit 5: Select a disease or condition that has
been covered in one of the systems discussed in this course (Chapters 1-10).
Develop presentation that describes the anatomy of the organs, physiology, pathology, and biochemistry involved in their diagnosis.
Include information about how other organ systems are affected by the condition
Use Microsoft PowerPoint. Demonstrate excellent content,
organization, style and mechanics within the speaker notes and slide content. Your communication should be highly ordered, logical and unified.
PowerPoint presentation should not exceed 15 slides. Correct grammar and punctuation are required.
Be sure to visit Kaplan’s Writing Center for help on creating PowerPoint Presentations.
Please be sure to review the CLA rubric Located in Doc sharing Unit 9 Final Project will be graded using
the CLA Rubric
Unit 1: Human Anatomy and Physiology Unit 2: Chemistry of Life, Cells and
Tissues Unit 3: Integumentary System, Body Membranes Unit 4: The Skeletal System Unit 5: Intro to Final Project & Midterm
Exam Unit 6: Muscular System
Unit 7: Nervous System Unit 8: Senses Unit 9: Endocrine System Unit 10: Comprehensive Exam-100
Questions
All course projects will be graded within 5 days of their due date (Sunday).
Pay close attention to end dates of units in the grade book and Grade book assess dates.

Organization is an outstanding characteristic of body structure
The body is a unit made up of the following smaller units:
Cells-the smallest structural units; organizations of various chemicals
Tissues-organizations of similar cells Organs-organizations of different
kinds of tissue Systems- organizations of many
different kinds of organs
Standing erect with the feet slightly apart and arms at the sides with the palms turned forward
See figure 1-2 on page 4 of the text.
Superior-toward the head, upper, and above
Inferior-toward the feet, lower, below See page 6 of the text.
Anterior-front, in front of (same as ventral in humans)
Posterior-back, in back of (same as dorsal in humans)
Medial-toward the midline of a structure Lateral-away from the midline or toward
the side of a structure See Figure 1-3 on page 9
Proximal-toward or nearest the trunk, or nearest the point of origin of a structure
Distal- away from or farthest from the trunk, or farthest from a structures’ point of origin
Sagittal plane-lengthwise plane that divides a structure into right of left sections
Midsagittal-sagittal plane that divides the body into two equal halves
Frontal (coronal) plane lengthwise plane that divides a structure into anterior and posterior sections
Transverse plane-horizontal plane that divides a structure into upper and lower sections
Ventral cavity Thoracic cavity Mediastinum--midportion of thoracic
cavity; heart and trachea located in mediastinum
Pleural cavities—right lung located in right pleural cavity, left lung in left pleural cavity
Ventral cavity Abdominopelvic
cavity contains stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and spleen
Pelvic cavity contains reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and lowest part of intestine
Dorsal cavity Cranial cavity
contains brain Spinal cavity
contains spinal cord
Table 1-1 Body Cavities on page 10.
Axial region—head, neck, and torso or trunk
Appendicular region—upper and lower extremities such as legs and arms
See Figure 1-6 page 13 of the text
The body’s ability to maintain an internal environment for proper function.
All organs function to maintain homeostasis
If homeostasis is lost at any level, then the whole body is affected.
Body functions are related to age; peak efficiency is during young adulthood, diminishing efficiency occurs after young adulthood
Ultimate loss of homeostasis=DEATH
Integumentary System (See Figure 4-2) Structure—organs include: Skin, Hair, Nails, Sense receptors, Sweat
glands, Oil glands
What are the functions????
Muscular System (Figure 4-4) Structures include: 3 types of muscle
Voluntary or striated Involuntary or smooth
Cardiac
What are the functions?????
Nervous system (Figure 4-5)
Structures include:
Brain, Spinal cord, Nerves, Sense organs
What are the functions?????
Structures include:
Pituitary gland Pineal gland Hypothalamus Thyroid gland Parathyroid gland Thymus gland Adrenal gland
Pancreas Ovaries (female) Testes (male)
See Figure 4-6
What are the functions?
Survival of the individual is the body’s most important business
Survival depends on the maintenance or restoration of homeostasis (relative constancy of the internal environment; Figure 1-9); the body uses negative feedback loops and, less often, positive feedback loops to maintain or restore homeostasis
We have had a marvelous first seminar! Let’s keep the momentum going! “See” you in the discussion boards!
