How do the major body systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive) interact to maintain homeostasis, overall health, and focus on internal body functions?
Adaptive Perseverance: Students will navigate challenges in understanding complex systems and apply feedback to improve their learning.
Learner’s Mindset: Students will seek novel experiences and continuously set goals to deepen their understanding of human physiology.
Critical Thinking: Students will analyze how different body systems interact and the impact of various health conditions.
How do the structures of the cardiovascular system contribute to its function?
What roles do the respiratory and digestive systems play in energy production and nutrient absorption?
How do health conditions affect the reproductive system and its functions?
Students will identify and describe the major structures of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
Students will explain the physiological functions of these structures and their roles in maintaining homeostasis.
Students will analyze case studies of health conditions related to each system and propose potential treatments.
