Activity 1: Domain of Study
The Anatomy and Physiology II Lab Sub-Domain of the Science Specialty Topics Domain is broken down into one sub-domains and ten competencies.
Subdomain 211.4 Anatomy & Physiology Lab
Competency 211.4.1: Histology - The graduate identifies major tissues of the body using the microscope, describes the role of histology in understanding anatomy and physiology, and recognizes how structure affects function in the tissues of the body.
Competency 211.4.2: Body Membranes - The graduate completes microscopic examinations of the membranes of the body, describes membranes, their function and location, and recognizes how disease affects the membranes of the body.
Competency 211.4.3: Joints & Movement - The graduate uses laboratory movement, observation and dissection to investigate the structure and function of joints and describes the effect of injury on joints.
Competency 211.4.4: Nervous System - The graduate recognizes major structures of the nervous system, completes dissection of a sheep brain and eye, and recognizes the relationships between taste and smell, and hearing and balance.
Competency 211.4.5: Endocrine System - The graduate recognizes how the structure of endocrine glands relates to function, can explain how hormones maintain homeostasis, and describes the effect of disease on the working of the endocrine system.
Competency 211.4.6: Cardiovascular System - The graduate identifies common components of the blood and cardiovascular system, determines blood type and Rh, and describes the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels.
Competency 211.4.7: Respiratory System - The graduate identifies the structures of the respiratory system, distinguishes normal from diseased respiratory tissue, defines and measures lung functional capacities, and explains how disease affects the respiratory system.
Competency 211.4.8: Digestive System - The graduate identifies structures of the digestive system, relates structure to function, explains how enzymes affect digestion, and explains how disease affects the structure and function of the digestive tract.
Competency 211.4.9: Urinary System - The graduate identifies structures of the urinary system, relates structure to function, completes a urinalysis, and explains the effect of disease on the urinary system.
Competency 211.4.10: Reproductive System - The graduate identifies structures of the male and female reproductive systems, compares spermatogenesis and oogenesis, recognizes stages and characteristics of normal human development, and discusses how disease affects the reproductive system.
