- Apply appropriate terminology in identifying and discussing human anatomy and physiology.
- Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology to real-world situations.
- Approach and examine anatomy and physiology issues from an evidence-based perspective.
- Describe the complex interrelationships between structure and function
- Explain how body systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
Every living organism relies on homeostatic processes for its survival, and humans are no exception. Homeostatic balance relies on the proper functioning of the body’s dynamic equilibrium process. Anything that prevents positive or negative feedback loops from working properly in response to disruptive outside forces and different types of internal or external negative stimuli, results in homeostatic imbalances which can lead to sickness and even death. Accordingly, many disorders result from the inability of the body to restore itself to a functional and stable internal environment. Since homeostatic equilibrium depends on three different components (receptors, control centers, and effectors), disruption of at least one of these components can cause homeostatic imbalance, consequently leading to human diseases and disorders.
