Describe the structures of the digestive system and how they function in digestion, absorption, and metabolism. (II) 4. Describe the structures and functions of the male and female reproductive systems, including gametogenesis. (III) 5. Describe the various stages of embryonic, fetal, and placental development. (III) 6. Describe changes that occur during pregnancy, parturition, and lactation. (III) 7. Describe the composition and function of blood, including formed elements. (IV) 8. Describe the structures and functions of the cardiovascular system. (IV) 9. Describe the structures and functions of the lymphatic system as well as the mechanisms of defense and immunity. (V) 10. Describe the structures of the respiratory system and how they accomplish ventilation, respiration, and gas transport. (VI) 11. Describe the structure of the urinary system and their involvement in the regulation of fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients. (VII, VIII) 12. Describe the regulation of water balance and the control and distribution of the ionic components of body fluids. (VIII) 13. Explain the regulation of acid-base balance in the body and the complications of acidosis and alkalosis. (VIII)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
