Student Learning Outcomes
Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology.

Identify the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of body systems.

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.

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.

Evaluate and examine issues related to anatomy and physiology fom an evidence-based perspective.
