Human Anatomy and Physiology
Test Questions
Course Introduction
Human Anatomy and Physiology is a foundational course that explores the structure and function of the human body. It covers key systems such as the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems, examining how they work individually and together to maintain homeostasis. The course integrates concepts of cell biology and genetics to explain physiological processes and responses to internal and external changes. Through lectures, laboratory exercises, and practical applications, students gain a comprehensive understanding of how anatomical structures support physiological functions and how these systems interact to sustain human life.
