Overview
Anatomy offers an in-depth exploration of the human body’s structure and function, making it an essential course for students pursuing careers in healthcare, biology, or sports science. Students can expect to learn about the organization of the body, from cells and tissues to organ systems, and how these systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Topics include the skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. The course consists of a lab component with hands-on virtual activities including dissections, working with anatomical models, and microscopic analysis of tissues. By the end of the class, students gain a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy and foundational knowledge for more advanced studies in health and medicine.
Course topics include:
- Anatomy covers the structure and function of the human body.
