The human body is an amazingly complex machine. Body parts interact with body systems to produce an organism that is capable of many functions.

 

In Training Room 2 you will study the following topics:

  • Levels of Structural Organization
  • Homeostasis
  • Muscles of the Human Body
  • How the Human Body Works to Create Movement

In Training Room 2 Project you will create one of three suggested 3-D models: either the muscular system, the levels of organization of the human body, or the interaction of body systems during a sustained activity. Remember to look at Training Room 2 Project now so that you know what will be expected of you before you work through Training Room 2.

 

Outcomes

 

Training Room 2 addresses the following outcome:

  • Explain basic principles of anatomy, physiology, and disease related to systems of the human body
    • identify common prefixes and suffixes related to anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the terminology describing body systems
    • define the terms anatomy, physiology, pathology, and homeostasis, including anatomical directional terms and planes of division
    • identify all of the systems of the human body using medical terminology
    • outline the organization of the body from chemicals to the whole body, including identification of the role of cells, tissues, organs, and body cavities
    • explain the interrelationship between various body systems, including negative and positive feedback in maintaining homeostasis
    • define terms and concepts related to disease and treatment of disease
    • compare the methods of transmission for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV
    • describe basic safety precautions for the prevention of communicable diseases; e.g., related to health care and community support workers, sports, travel

Keep these guiding questions in mind as you work through Training Room 2:

  • How does the human body work?
  • How do my muscles create movement?
  • How does physical activity benefit my body?
