1. Review of Anatomy/Physiology and Dissection Overview

2.  BI9. a. Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon dioxide.  BI9. b. Students know how the nervous system mediates communication between different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment.  BI9. c. Students know how feedback loops in the nervous and endocrine systems regulate conditions in the body.  BI9. d. Students know the functions of the nervous system and the role of neurons in transmitting electrochemical impulses.

3.  Understand the how the human body is organized starting from the smallest (cells) to the largest (organism) level.  Explain how different organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis.  Understand the importance of maintaining a stable internal environment in the human body.

4.  The human body is made of different levels of organization starting with cells and building up all the way to organ systems. Organ systems work together through mechanisms like negative feedback loops to maintain homeostasis in the human body.

5.  Cells-has a particular structure and make up. (epithelial cell)  Tissues-groups of similar cells to perform a specialized function (Epithelial lung tissue cell).  Organs-different types of tissue that function together (lung).

6.  Organ systems( respiratory system)-are made of two or more organs.  Organism (you)-Organ systems work together and interact to keep you alive.

9.  Homeostasis-regulation and maintenance of internal environment of body (temp., gases, pH, fluids, nutrients, and salts).  Negative feedback loops are necessary for homeostasis.

10.  Rationale-Rat Anatomy=Human Anatomy  Complete survey of internal and external organs  Observe interactions/connections of organ systems

13. 1.Rat skinned and muscles exposed. 2. Remove muscles from one hind leg to expose the femur, tibia, and fibula. 3. Pinning the structures of the head and neck. 4. Pinning the organs of the digestive system. 5. Removal and dissection of the kidney, opening of the stomach and small intestines. 6. Pinning the urogenital organs. 7. Turn in the rat.

14.  Forceps=tweezers  Scalpel-similar to a knife, used for making incisions, separating tissues  Dissecting scissors-used for making shallow cuts  Dissecting probe-used to carefully move organs  Pins-used to hold back layers/tissues  Dissecting tray-where organism is dissected

15.  What are the 5 levels of organization in the human body?  Why is important for your body to maintain homeostatic (stable internal) conditions?  List two dissection tools and their functions.  Why are we dissecting rats?  What is the difference between external and internal anatomy?
