Human Anatomy & Physiology: Support & Movement (Course 2)
This second course begins the systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level. Three major body systems related to support and movement will be explored in detail: the integumentary (skin), skeletal, and muscular systems. Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease.
Who should attend:
- High school students who want to experience a university-level course
- Pre-medical and pre-nursing students wanting supplemental material on medical terminology and key concepts
- Anyone with an interest in human anatomy and physiology
You will be able to:
- Identify the major parts of the skeletal and muscular systems
- Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the skeletal and muscular systems
- Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems
