ESCRIPTION
Students will learn the structure and function of the major organ systems. This course centers on basic anatomy and physiology. Anatomy and physiology are not taught as an end in themselves, but as a basis for the comprehension of the workings of the human body in health and disease. Emphasis will be placed on the diseases, skeletal and muscular systems, nervous and sensory systems, nutrition and the cardiopulmonary system.
