Course Description:
This course is similar to Anatomy & Physiology offered by the Science Department but with a
twist. The twist is it is taught by a Registered Nurse who brings patient and health care worker
perspectives into the discussions of body structures and functions. Whether you are leaning
toward a career in health care or not by taking this course will have an understanding of how
your body works and what happens when it does not work right. Everyone needs to understand
the human body because we all are human body owners!
