Enduring Understandings: Student will be introduced to the basic organization of the body, define homeostasis and explain the basis of control systems . Student will also be introduced to the terminology that will be used thereafter in dealing with anatomical concepts. The chemistry necessary to comprehend physiological principles will be introduced as well. Cell structure and function and the interdependence exhibited by the cell will be explored. The histology of tissues and proper use of the microscope will be addressed.	Enduring Understandings: The skin, skeletal and muscular systems and their interactions in promoting body support, protection, and mobility will be addressed. The student will be introduced to bone remodeling and its controls. Muscle cell anatomy and physiology are addressed as well.	Enduring Understandings: The nervous and the endocrine system and their regulatory roles in proper functioning of the body will be introduced. The relationship of the neuron anatomy and physiology will be focused on. The special senses will be introduced.
