SHB102 Structure and Function of the Human Body - Torrens University Australia

Assessment: Concept Mapping of Homeostatic Pathways

Learning Outcome 1: Define commonly accepted terminologies in relation to anatomy and physiology concepts.

Learning Outcome 2: Explain the levels of structural organisation in relation to the human body systems.

Learning Outcome 3: Explain the levels of structural organisation in relation to the human body systems.

Learning Outcome 5: Describe and discuss the concept of homeostasis and the integration of body systems to maintain a constant internal environment.

Learning Outcome 6: Identify and explain the major components in relation to anatomical features and the basic functions of each of the body systems studied.

Learning Outcome 7: Describe the physiological processes of metabolism, oxygenation, movement, protection, elimination and reproduction as essential to the maintenance of health and normal function.

Instructions:

Integrated concept map

To complete this assessment task, you must construct a concept map that integrates three (3) of the biological systems that have been discussed in SHB102. To achieve this, you must:

1. Choose three (3) biological systems that have been discussed in SHB102, and either the Nervous System or Endocrine System.

2. Consider a homeostatic pathway that is regulated by these systems. Use the time you are in class to discuss this will your peers and Learning Facilitator. Examples may include blood calcium homeostasis, glucose homeostasis, temperature regulation.

3. Design a concept map that clearly highlights:
• Levels of structural organisation in the body systems (e.g., cells, tissues and organ system).
• How these systems interact with each other to regulate and return the body to homeostasis
• How these relate to the homeostatic pathway of choice
4. Ensure all linking arrows are labelled with a meaningful word.

To be successful in this task, you might consider
• Preparing for this early - creating concept maps while preparing for class/during class each week
• Brainstorming all the important concepts that you can think of for each system and its relation to the homeostatic pathway
• Organise these into groups based on the Structural Organisation of the system (perhaps even on individual pieces of paper)
• Rearrange until clear links are observed and record any meaningful linking words.
• Input these into the digital technology of choice
