Pre-Nursing Anatomy and Physiology
Final Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Pre-Nursing Anatomy and Physiology is an introductory course designed to provide foundational knowledge of the human bodys structure and function, with a focus on systems most relevant to nursing practice. Students will explore basic anatomical terminology, the organization of the body, cellular processes, and the major body systems, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding normal physiological processes, how the systems interact, and the application of this knowledge to patient care and clinical scenarios in preparation for advanced nursing courses.
