How to succeed in this course
.Course Description
This is the 2st half of the Human Anatomy & Physiology lecture , based upon “Fundamentals of
Human Anatomy and Physiology” 8e Frederic H. Martini textbook (Ninth edition), you will
study the basics of Endocrinology,circulatory system, immune system, digestive system,
respiratory system, urinary system, reproduction system.
General goals:
1- To provide the student with a foundation in Human Anatomy and Physiology as preparation for more
specialized courses in the fields of Nursing and Allied Health programs.
2- You will be introduced to clinical conditions and the relationship between normal and pathological
anatomy and physiology and you have to be acquainted with the mechanics of the different processes that
are involved.
