What is Physiology about?
Physiology studies the different systems of the human body, like the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and how these systems work with each other to keep you alive! In this class we get to play with the Anatomage tables (a giant tablet loaded with scanned 3D images of cadavers), do dissections and labs, examine many models, and get certified to take blood pressure as well as get certified in CPR!
