The Human Anatomy

Learning objectives
Name and define the basic anatomic organizational terms, the components of the body cavities, and differentiate between cells, tissues, and organs.
Discuss the importance of homeostasis and how it is maintained.
Describe the normal anatomy of the integumentary system as well as its function and its importance in our survival
Background

We rely on our bodies for everything; thinking and making decisions, respiration, staying warm, healing wounds, digesting food, getting rid of waste, and many other things. Each part of our body system has a different role, but all of them work together to keep us alive.
Homeostasis is a balancing act for our bodies and is essential to our survival. Our body must be able to balance the amount of water, salt, and glucose within them. It also needs to maintain body temperature. If any one of these things is out of balance it can mean death (JamJarMMX, 2012).

Prompt
Before starting this assignment please review body cavities and organs H5P hot spot found on the course media page.
Using PowerPoint, create 20 slides with descriptions and graphics demonstrating your knowledge of the human body.
Each slide should have four bullet points explaining the picture and how it is applicable your presentation. Use the slides to show the different topics listed below. You can use images from the internet, but be sure to reference where you got the image using APA style on a separate references slide. Include a title slide and reference slide(s) in addition to the 20-slide presentation.
The presentation must cover the following:
The body planes (names and locations)
Directional terms (names and locations),
Cells (names and what they do)
Tissues (names and what they do)
Body cavities (names and organs within them)
Organs (names and what they do)
Homeostasis (what it is and how its maintained)
Integumentary system (anatomy, function, and importance in our survival)
Be sure to use research. APA citations are required for this assignment.

Week 10 Article Reviews

General Written Report Instructions

One of the course objectives is to strengthen and enhance student literacy in the field of Conservation Biology, and one of the best ways to do this is by reading and writing.

After interacting with the weeks materials, create a thoughtful report that summarizes the material and more importantly, summarizes your learning and responses to the materials.

Please submit writing that includes citations as appropriate. Use whatever citation format you are comfortable with, just use the same format throughout.

Create your report as an MS Word document (.docx, .rtf, or .txt) and upload to Blackboard.

Minimum word count is 750; this does not mean to stop when you get to 750. Stop when you have appropriately reflected on the materials and your learning.

If you are having trouble getting started, use these prompts:

Identify one important concept, research finding, theory, or idea that you learned while reading the materials.
Why do you believe this concept, research finding, theory, or idea is important?

Government, Politics, and Social Justice

For the Problem Solving Analysis, you focused on two readings from the textbook to find a common ground or solution in an argument. For the Rogerian Argument, you will focus on the same issue you have written in the Problem Solving Analysis.
This time, research two articles from the Library\’s Academic Databases or other credible sources. The articles should present two opposing sides of the argument.
Again, the articles should relate to the issue you explored in the Problem Solving Analysis. As a reminder the issues are the following: technology and science; health and medicine; government, politics, and social justice; and business and economics.

Assumption: The average citizen fails to meet certain requirement generally considered necessary for the \”successful\” operation of democracy.
Assume the assumption is correct.
1.How the failure to meet the requirements for successful operation of democracy are consequential for three of Robert A Dahls Theories of Democracy (Chapter 1-3: madisonian democracy, populistic democracy, polyarchy democracy)
2. How the theories anticipate Berelson et al.s characterization
3. How each variant of democracy mitigates or amplifies the negative consequences of the characteristics.
4. Which form of democreacy to solve the problems raised by a citizenry as described by Berelson. (Thesis Statement)
