Description

Objective:

The course objective is to define the basic concepts of anatomy and physiology; recognize the ways the body undergoes change throughout the life span related to cell and organ development; recall how the development and progression of structural systems contributes to the body's overall function; identify basic characteristics of each body system and how they work together as a whole; and differentiate between organ systems of the body and their various functions.
