Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
Midterm Exam
Course Introduction
Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology offers students a foundational understanding of the human bodys structure and function. This course covers the major systems of the body including the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems emphasizing how these systems work both independently and interdependently to maintain homeostasis. Students will explore basic anatomical terminology, cell and tissue organization, and physiological principles that govern body processes, preparing them for advanced study in health sciences, biology, and medical fields.
