DESCRIPTION
3-Course Human Anatomy & Physiology II Specialization
In this second Human Anatomy & Physiology specialization, you'll continue to explore the fascinating world of the human body. We'll be focusing on the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of six remarkable body systems: the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Our courses are designed to make learning accessible and enjoyable. We'll be using a free, open-source text from OpenStax as our primary resource, and we'll enhance your understanding with various activities and applications. Our approach combines both art and science, making the exploration of the human body a truly enriching experience.
⚠ Warning: You could have a blast!
