  • Describe the physiological processes that each organ system contributes to body homeostasis;describe the interdependence of the organ system to the other organ systems of the body.
  • Use correct scientific terminology in describing the physiological processes central to each organ system; describe the mechanisms, biochemical pathways, and control systems for the principle physiological processes; relate physiological function to the anatomical structure of the organ systems.
