Biod 151 - Module 1 - Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
Exam Coverage
Exam coverage for BIOD 151 - Module 1: Overview of Anatomy and
Physiology includes foundational concepts that introduce the
structure and function of the human body. It focuses on anatomical
terminology, levels of structural organization, homeostasis, body
systems, directional terms, body cavities, and the relationship between
anatomy and physiology. The exam also evaluates understanding of
basic chemistry and cellular concepts as they relate to human
function, along with introductory tissues and organ system
interactions. Emphasis is placed on building a strong foundation for
understanding how the body is organized, how systems work
together, and how normal physiological balance is maintained.
,Levels of organization
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Tissue types
Epithelial, muscle, connective, nervous
Epithelial tissue
covers body surface/lines cavities
secretion/absorption
,Muscle tissue
enables movement
Connective tissue
structure and support
bones, ligaments, blood and tendons
Nervous tissue
communication through electrical pulses
, Integumentary system
skin - covers and protects deeper tissue from injury
Hypodermis, dermis, epidermis (outer layer)
Skeletal system
framework for muscular system, supports body organs
