Description:

Participants will be assessed on their understanding of the anatomy and physiology for the human Cardiovascular, Lymphatic and Excretory systems.

Materials:

Each team may bring one 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper that may contain information on both sides in any form and from any source along with two stand alone non programmable, non graphing calculators.  

Scoring:

Recommendations:

  • The topics to be covered are clearly outlined in the official rules. Write these topics out and make notes as you study each area.
  • For each area, make sure basic anatomy can be identified both in a diagram and on a model.
  • Have a definitions page to study from for each topic area for tricky terms.
