- Identify and label structures of the major organ systems in the body including: the cellular and tissue structure of the skeletal, muscular, neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Identify major structures and roles of the endocrine, urinary and lymphatic systems.
- Define terms related to anatomical regions, directions, planes and sections, body cavities and membranes.
- Identify and label major muscles in the body and bones and bony landmarks of the skeletal system.
- Name and understand the functions of the major organ systems and how they contribute to maintaining homeostasis.
