Fetal Development and Human Systems
- identify on a diagram and describe the basic female human reproductive system anatomy and physiology, including: ovaries, oviduct (fallopian tube), uterus, cervix, and vagina
- identify on a diagram and describe the basic male anatomy and physiology of the human reproductive system, including: seminal vesicle, prostate gland, vas deferens, urethra, epididymis, scrotum, penis and testes
- describe the function of the placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic sac, amniotic fluid in terms of fetus development
- identify on a diagram the location where each process of human development occurs from fertilization to implantation
- describe the process of human development from fertilization to birth and major changes that occur in each trimester of pregnancy: First trimester (development): major organs, limbs, and other structures begin to form, heart starts to beat. Second trimester (maturity):organs start functioning, fetal movement, hearing and simple vision, practice breathing, sleep patterns. Third trimester (growth):increase in size, fat storage, neural connections, lungs mature
- identify the parts and lobes of the brain, including: lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal, parts: cerebrum, cerebellum, pons, medulla oblongata, and brain stem
- explain how blood flow in the cardiovascular system is affect by various factors, including: blood pressure, blood volume, resistance, disease and exercise
- describe the basic functions of the human immune system, including: specific and nonspecific immune response, vaccines, and antibiotics
- explain how both individual and public health are impacted by: genetic factors, environmental factors, pathogenic agents
- analyze family history to determine its impact on an individual’s health
- discuss strategies for prevention, detection, and treatment of communicable and chronic diseases
