Addresses Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4 · Apply appropriate terminology in identifying and discussing human anatomy and physiology. · Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology to real-world situations. · Approach and examine anatomy and physiology issues from an evidence-based perspective. · Describe the complex interrelationships between structure and function. · Explain how body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is a term derived from the Greek words For this assignment, you are required to choose one of the major organ systems (integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive, or reproductive), and provide information as to how its anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) combine to help the body maintain homeostatic balance.This organ system will be the focus of both the first and second parts of the written assignment, so be sure to choose one you are very interested in learning about in more depth. After choosing an organ system, please adhere to the following tasks and respond to the following inquiries. Any lacking elements or insufficiencies will result in the loss of points. I. A.
