Course Standard 2

HS-EHS-2 

Classify the basic structural and functional organization of the human body and identify body planes, cavities, regions, directional terms, tissues, organs and parts of the cell. 

2.1 Define anatomy, physiology, homeostasis, metabolism and cellular respiration. 

2.2 Identify body planes, cavities, abdominal regions and directional terms. (These will be utilized later in the various anatomy systems). 

2.3 Describe and demonstrate anatomical position utilizing directional terms. 

2.4 Classify the basic structural and functional organization of the human body beginning at the cellular level to also include tissues, organs and systems. 

2.5 Identify the structural components of a cell, and describe the function and relationship of each component. 

2.6 Explain the process of mitosis and meiosis. 

2.7 Identify the major types of tissue, and provide examples of each type. 

2.8 Demonstrate recognition of subjective and objective observations. Document signs and symptoms in the simulated electronic medical record.

Course Standard 5

HS-EHS-5 

Examine the anatomy, physiology and basic pathophysiology of the respiratory system, and evaluate and monitor respirations. 

5.1 Analyze the basic structures and functions of the respiratory system. 

5.2 Identify and explain medical terms related to the respiratory system, and utilize when documenting in electronic medical record. 5.3 Research common diseases, disorders, and emerging diseases of the respiratory system including the pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment (including biomedical therapies) that might be utilized in each. 

5.4 Differentiate between the upper and lower respiratory tract while tracing the pathway of air into and out of the respiratory system. 

5.5 Explain the physiology of breathing, to include the process of gas exchange. 

5.6 Analyze the interdependence of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as they relate to gas exchange, circulation, and the support of vital organs of the human body. 

5.7 Demonstrate measuring and recording respirations, and identify abnormal results.

Course Standard 11

HS-EHS-11 

Investigate the anatomy, physiology, and basic pathophysiology of the digestive system, and perform technical skills related to the system. 

11.1 Analyze the basic structures and functions of the digestive system. 

11.2 Identify and explain medical terms related to the digestive system, and utilize when documenting in the electronic medical record. 

11.3 Compare and contrast chemical and mechanical digestion. 

11.4 Trace the path of food throughout the digestive pathway. 

11.5 Identify the gastric secretions and describe the function of each. 

11.6 Explain the process of absorption. 

11.7 Research common diseases, disorders, and emerging diseases of the digestive system including pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment that might be utilized.
