1 Red Comet Anatomy In this course students will explore the anatomy or structure of the human body. In addition to learning anatomical terminology, students will study and the main systems of the body including integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and nervous systems. In addition to identifying the bones, muscles, and organs, students will study the structure of cells and tissues within the body. *This course is recommended for grades UNIT 1: CELLS, SKIN, & SENSORY ORGANS Section 1.1: Intro to Anatomy Section 1.2: Cell & Skin Anatomy Section 1.3: Sensory Organs Compare systemic and regional anatomy Evaluate the systemic and cellular organization of the body Identify the major regions, cavities, and membranes of the body Develop an understanding of medical terms in order to communicate with health professionals Appropriately use the terms orientation and movement Identify the parts and functions of hair and nails Identify the types of glands and their functions Identify and define parts of the cell Identify possible issues related to the integumentary system Explain the effects of aging Interpret the causes of blisters and calluses Explain freckles, melanoma, and burns Identify parts and explain the function of the integumentary system Explain the cell theory Explain the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes Classify the structures of the ear Summarize the primary functions of the ear Summarize issues associated with the ear Develop ways to prevent ear problems Illustrate common eye issues Evaluate when you should seek medical attention for an eye issue Locate the external structures of the eye Describe the internal structures of the eye
