Introducing Tanya and Her Health Journey

Tanya, a woman in her early forties, has become more interested in her health since she last visited the doctor and was diagnosed with high blood pressure. While she has always been health conscious, she has lately become more interested in the biology of her own health. She has always understood the male and female body to be different, but she was surprised to learn there are only slight differences between the male and female body system, specifically the reproductive and endocrine systems.

Human biology covers all aspects of how the human body is organized. Throughout the course, you will be following the daily life of Tanya to learn how human biology affects us in our everyday life.

To better understand human biology, the body is broken down into smaller segments, which we refer to as human body systems. Each body system has unique functions, but in order for the body to function properly, all systems must be working.

To start you will review the Human Body Systems Organization infographic to view the body systems. You will notice the various organs and tissues of each of the body systems and the overall function of each of the systems.

The four primary groups and body systems include:

Infrastructure – Skeletal, Muscular, Cardiovascular, and Nervous Systems.

Regulations Systems – Endocrine, Lymphatic, and Urinary Systems.

Energy – Digestive and Respiratory Systems.

Reproduction Systems.

After reviewing the body systems, you will take a look how at the cardiovascular system in more detail and how this interrelates to the nervous, skeletal, and muscular system. Heart function and fluid circulation are all regulated by the nervous system. Nerves are stimulated for voluntary movements of muscles, but also involuntary actions like the beating of the heart. The heart is a cardiac muscle that never stops. You will analyze the data collected in a medical exam to assess cardiovascular health.

Recommendation

For this course, completing the assessments in order will provide you with the best learning experience as you learn about human biology. We encourage you to complete the assessments starting with Assessment 1.

Overview

The following lab is the first of five labs you complete in this course. In this lab, you compare Tanya and Lorraine’s cardiovascular health. The cardiovascular system in the human body moves blood to transport gases to and from tissue, circulates chemical messages such as hormones, and distributes nutritional substances.

Instructions

Remember the following as you go through the lab:

Complete the assessment at the end of the lab. To do this, fill out the items requested within the lab, download that document or documents to your computer, and save it. You must attach the documents to the assignment and then submit the assignment.

Make sure that you read the Homework: Cardiovascular System Lab Scoring Guide prior to submitting your document to ensure you have met all of the expectations for this assignment.

It is recommended to review the scoring guide prior to downloading your document or documents to your computer, since all work must be completed within the lab.
