Description Section 3 Content Section 3 Content Left Section 3 Content Right Objective: The course objective is for students to examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis. Exploring science in action, students build organs and tissues on a skeletal Maniken®; use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration; and take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases. Learning Outcomes: Evaluate ethical and moral issues related to various medical interventions. Describe the diverse set of careers in the biomedical sciences and the societal impacts of their work. Design an experiment to collect and analyze experimental data to draw conclusions that investigates a research question. Communicate effectively with a specific audience. Create an effective team environment to promote successful goal attainment. Apply professional standards, as they relate to the personal traits of a biomedical science professional. Describe how imbalances in the body system can result in diseases. Demonstrate mastery of general laboratory practice common to many biomedical science fields. Synthesize complex medical information to diagnose a disease, disorder, or injury or to determine cause of death. Explain how the composition, structure, and activities of cells build functional systems in the human body. Select and use appropriate tools, technology, and/or software for experimental and clinical data collection and analysis. Describe how the systems of the body work together to maintain homeostasis. Describe the structures and functions of the Human Body Systems including the skeletal, muscular, integumentary, cardiovascular, nervous, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Respond to patient and/or community needs and propose treatment strategies for disease, disorder, injury, or the prevention thereof. Explain the connection between structure and function in biology. Explain clinical tests that are used to diagnose malfunctioning organ systems.
