Demonstrate knowledge of the basic functions of the major human organ systems, from the cellular level to the whole organism. Audience: Undergraduate 2. Describe why homeostasis is a central theme of physiology and how it relates to the function of each human organ system. Audience: Undergraduate 3. Integrate knowledge of how organ systems interact to regulate physiological processes in order to maintain homeostasis. Audience: Undergraduate 4. Apply knowledge of physiology to predict outcomes, and justify those predictions, when homeostasis is not maintained due to disease or experimental manipulation. Audience: Undergraduate 5. Develop critical and scientific thinking skills through the application of physiology knowledge in preparation for real-world situations and further educational settings. Audience: Undergraduate 6. Demonstrate effective collaboration and communicate with peers to achieve shared outcomes. Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
