Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (13 Hrs.)
This module introduces students to the various body systems and how the systems interact with one another. Students are also introduced to homeostasis and immunity. Twelve body systems are explored: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Sensory, Circulatory, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Endocrine, and Reproductive. Students learn the structure, function, and diseases and disorders for each body system.
Unit: Anatomy and Physiology Basics
Description
This unit introduces students to basic body structure and processes. Students define "anatomy" and "physiology" and identify structures in a typical cell. They learn about the processes involved in metabolism, mitosis, and meiosis. And they distinguish tissues, organs, and systems. Students learn about the goal of homeostasis and the interdependence of body systems. They also identify abnormal cell conditions and name types of immunity.
