Discover the unique structures and functions of the human body in this deep dive into anatomy and physiology. Students in this advanced-level course begin by learning about the different tissues that make up humans, classifying and identifying them through microscope work. From there, we examine bone-tissue structure and formation. You’ll learn all of the 206 bones that make up the skeletal system, including their attachment points and purpose. An exploration of heart anatomy and function allows you to grasp the complexities of the circulatory system. Laboratory sessions involving microscope work and dissections reinforce classroom work, where you will see complex components of mammalian bodies. We’ll also look at medical case studies, allowing you to investigate, problem-solve, and propose possible treatments to theoretical patients.
