This engaging and comprehensive course is designed to provide a solid understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Throughout the course, students will explore the intricacies of various body systems, organs, tissues, and cells and develop a deep appreciation for the complexities of human anatomy.
Students will learn how to use the basics of anatomical terminology through the study of each major body system, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems, examining the structure and function of these systems in detail to understand how each system contributes to the overall functioning of the human body.
Students will engage in a variety of instructional activities, including lectures, discussions, laboratory experiments, and multimedia presentations aimed at enhancing analytical thinking skills and building strong academic skills. Hands-on activities will include dissection of preserved specimens, identification of anatomical structures, and microscopy analysis.
