Biology – Anatomy Assignment 1

BIOL 201 – Assignment 1 – 80 Points

Instructions

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 
homeo (meaning similar to) and 
stasis (meaning standing still). Thus, homeostasis is deemed as the capacity of living organisms to maintain their internal stability. The human body has the phenomenal ability to maintain homeostatic balance despite a changing external environment, thanks to various systems of metabolic self-regulation known as positive and negative feedback loops. The body’s organ systems function to achieve and maintain dynamic equilibrium as the body adjusts in response to warnings of imbalances such as body temperature, water, electrolytes, blood sugar, and blood pressure – just to name a few. The regulation of homeostasis depends on three components: receptors, control centers, and effectors.

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.
