Anatomy and Physiology 1 is an introductory course designed to explore the structure and function of the human body. This course provides a comprehensive study of the body’s organ systems, focusing on the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Students will gain an understanding of the anatomical terms and concepts, as well as the physiological processes that maintain homeostasis. Lectures will cover topics such as cell structure, microscopy, the skeletal system’s structure and function, muscle types, and the organization of the nervous system, including sensory and motor control mechanisms. This course will equip students with an understanding of how illness occurs when physiology is disrupted.
