Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology;
Recognize the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of body systems;
Recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body;
Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures;
Recognize and explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body;
Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances;
Demonstrate laboratory procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of each organ system;
Interpret graphs of anatomical and physiological data.
