Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide an in-depth view of the structures and functions that govern the human body. The course investigates the organization of the human body from the cellular and tissue levels to the organ and system levels. Investigated systems in this course include the integument, muscular system, endocrine system, skeletal system, and nervous system. Finally, this course will explore conditions and pathologies that negatively impact the physiological functions of these systems.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Relate the function of each bodily system to the maintenance of homeostasis
  • Characterize the functional connections between related systems
  • Explain the organization of the human body, beginning with cellular structures and functions the organization of physiological systems
  • Identify and describe key structures and organs within the body and their locations
  • Summarize the causes and impacts of pathological conditions and dysfunction on the functions of each system.

General Topics:

  • Chemistry for Human Anatomy and Physiology
  • Components of the Cell
  • Overview of Cellular Genetics
