1. The students will record observations and create drawings and models of anatomy using their five senses.
2. The students will describe the structures of a neuron and analyze each of their functions.
3. The students will compare and contrast the typical structural features of a general somatic cell to that of the specialized structures of the neuron.
4. The students will determine the path that an electrical nerve impulse takes as it conducts along one neuron and then transfers to neighboring neurons of various tissues and organs.
5. The students will distinguish between the central and peripheral nervous systems and describe the structure and function of the two main divisions of the central nervous system.
6. The students will identify the major anatomical structures of the brain and summarize their functions.
7. The students will construct a cerebrum representing the four major lobes of the brain.
8. The students will analyze how science and technology have improved our ability to understand our internal anatomy leading to an increase in the quality of health care that our society benefits from.
