Bone tissue, bone types, and the major divisions of the skeletal system will be examined along with the basic structure and functions of blood, the heart, and circulatory system. Common blood and circulatory disorders will also be identified and analyzed.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify, describe, examine the function of the 5 types of bones in the human skeletal system
