Objective

This final assignment challenges you to compile everything you've learned throughout the course into a comprehensive Master Concept Map. Your task is to demonstrate a full understanding of how systems, processes, and concepts in human physiology are interconnected—from the molecular level to whole-body functions.

This is more than just a drawing—it's a study tool, a learning artifact, and a demonstration of your ability to synthesize complex topics into an integrated understanding of the human body.

Instructions

1. Combine Previous Maps and Knowledge:
   Use your concept maps from Part 1 and Part 2 as a foundation, but don’t simply copy and paste. Reorganize and expand them to reflect your evolved understanding. This version should demonstrate:
   • Depth (detailed content and connections)
   • Breadth (coverage of all major physiological systems)
   • Integration (interactions between systems)
2. Include These Core Categories:
   Your Master Map should represent connections between the following areas:
   • Biomolecules and Cellular Processes (e.g., ATP, enzymes, pH, osmosis)
   • Homeostasis and Feedback Mechanisms
   • Major Body Systems: Nervous, Endocrine, Muscular, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Immune
   • Regulation and Control (e.g., hormone signaling, neural integration)
   • Functional Interactions (e.g., gas exchange, nutrient transport, waste removal)
3. Show Relationships Clearly:
   For each connection between nodes, label the arrow or link with a phrase or explanation showing how the concepts are related (e.g., “The pancreas regulates blood glucose via insulin secretion”).
4. Visual Impact and Organization:
   • Use color, grouping, and layout to make systems and relationships easy to follow.
   • Consider using visual icons or small doodles to represent organs or functions.
   • Ensure it is legible, well-organized, and includes a clear central theme.
5. Reflection Paragraph (Required):
   Write a short reflection (6–8 sentences) explaining:
   • What was most challenging or eye-opening while creating your master map?
   • How has your understanding of human physiology changed since the beginning of the course?
   • What part of the map do you find most helpful for studying?

Submission Format:

• Submit a digital scan or high-quality photo of your final Master Concept Map.
• Include your reflection paragraph as a typed document or handwritten note attached.

Grading Rubric (20 points)

Why This Matters:

This Master Concept Map is a powerful way to wrap up the course. It helps you:

• Prepare for final exams
• Connect fragmented topics into one cohesive framework
• Develop higher-level thinking by visualizing the interdependence of systems

Make this your ultimate study tool—something you'll be proud to revisit as you continue your studies in health, biology, or medicine.

Let your knowledge take shape—one final map to show how it all fits together.
