Gain a greater understanding of the human body by learning about common functions, cell anatomy, genetics, pregnancy and childbirth, diseases and disorders, medical advances, and more. Once you have mastered the basics, you will also take a deeper dive into more advanced areas like histology, processes in the brain, and cellular metabolism. This series is essential for anyone wanting a deep understanding of human anatomy and physiology, especially those considering a healthcare career.
Human Anatomy and Physiology I
In this course we'll discuss everything from cell anatomy to human genetics to functions of the different organ systems. Each lesson includes information about specific disorders that sometimes happen to our bodies, and we'll also talk about some recent advances in medicine. By the end of this course, you'll have a greater appreciation and understanding of the marvelous complexity of the human body!
Human Anatomy and Physiology II
In this course, we'll cover some more advanced topics that we didn't have time for in Human Anatomy and Physiology I. We'll cover histology, how the brain processes senses, cellular metabolism, and even pregnancy and childbirth.
