| (A) investigate and describe the integration of the
chemical and physical processes, including equilibrium, temperature,
pH balance, chemical reactions, passive transport, active transport,
and biofeedback, that contribute to homeostasis; and
(B) determine the consequences of the failure to maintain
homeostasis.
(8) The student examines the electrical conduction
processes and interactions. The student is expected to:
(A) illustrate conduction systems such as nerve transmission
or muscle stimulation;
(B) investigate the therapeutic uses and effects of
external sources of electricity on the body system; and
(C) evaluate the application of advanced technologies
such as electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, bionics, transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation, and cardioversion.
(9) The student explores the body's transport systems.
The student is expected to:
(A) analyze the physical, chemical, and biological
properties of transport systems, including circulatory, respiratory,
and excretory;
(B) determine the factors that alter the normal functions
of transport systems; and
(C) contrast the interactions among the transport systems.
(10) The student investigates environmental factors
that affect the human body. The student is expected to:
(A) identify the effects of environmental factors such
as climate, pollution, radioactivity, chemicals, electromagnetic fields,
pathogens, carcinogens, and drugs on body systems; and
(B) explore measures to minimize harmful environmental
factors on body systems.
(11) The student investigates the structure and function
of the human body. The student is expected to:
(A) analyze the relationships between the anatomical
structures and physiological functions of systems, including the integumentary,
nervous, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive,
urinary, immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems;
(B) evaluate the cause and effect of disease, trauma,
and congenital defects on the structure and function of cells, tissues,
organs, and systems;
(C) research technological advances and limitations
in the treatment of system disorders; and
(D) examine characteristics of the aging process on
body systems.
(12) The student describes the process of reproduction
and growth and development. The student is expected to:
(A) explain embryological development of cells, tissues,
organs, and systems;
(B) identify the functions of the male and female reproductive
systems; and
(C) summarize the human growth and development cycle.
(13) The student recognizes emerging technological
advances in science. The student is expected to:
(A) recognize advances in stem cell research such as
cord blood use; and
(B) recognize advances in bioengineering and transplant
technology.
