L1: Organization of the human body

• Describe the level of body organization
• Distinguish the primary tissues and their subtypes
• Describe basic functions for bod systems

L2: Cell membrane structure & transport across cell membrane

• Describe the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure and function.
• Define permeability and list factors influencing permeability.
• Identify and describe carried-mediated transport processes: Primary active transport, secondary active transport, facilitated diffusion.
• Differentiate between passive and active transport

L3: Homeostasis 1 & 2

• Understand the concept and importance of Homeostasis
• Understand how the steady state is monitored
• Discuss the physiological control mechanisms that enable maintenance of the normal steady state of the body
• Identify and describe the compensatory responses to any change in the steady state
• Define a feedback mechanism and describe its components
• Differentiate between positive and negative feedback mechanisms and give examples for each in the body
• Apply the knowledge gained in feedback mechanisms to disturbance in the disturbance in ECF volume and osmolality
