Requirements
This course is part 2 of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Course.
Students will learn about all of the major body systems, and they will also be introduced to other topics such as human skeletal muscles, nervous system, special senses, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
To really grasp the human body, you need to do more than just memorize the names of its parts and how they’re organized. You also need to understand how they work together as one and learn how your body works differently from other organisms. The human body works as one incredible machine. It’s amazing to think about how the trillions of cells in our bodies function together to make every move, every breath, and every heartbeat possible. In this course on human anatomy and physiology, you’ll explore how different body parts work together to perform functions.
There are 7 units in this course that cover these areas.
- Unit 1 is about “The Skeletal Muscles physiology and Neuroendocrine system”.
- Unit 2 focuses on “The Central Nervous System”
- Unit 3 focuses on “The Anatomy and Function of Special Senses”.
- Unit 4 focuses on “The Anatomy of Circulatory System”.
- Unit 5 focuses on “The Physiology of Circulatory System”.
- Unit 6 focuses on “The Respiratory and Digestive System”.
- Unit 7 focuses on “The Urinary and Reproductive System”.
Those who are interested in learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body would benefit from this course, including allied health programs such as nursing, physical therapy, pre-chiropractic, and pre-medicine. It’s a level 200 college course and High school students taking an Advanced Placement course in Anatomy and Physiology should find this one useful as well. It’s a stand-alone course, but it also functions as a supporting course. It’s a great review course, too. This course lays out the material in a straightforward manner, including critical points in the text. And this course is a time saver for students because provides already labeled structures of the lab models which are difficult to find in the lab.
