Overview

Class Central Tips

In this specialization, you will study the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body as it pertains to six major body systems: the cardiovascular (heart), lymphatic (immune), respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. These courses will utilize a free, open-source text (https://openstax.org/details/books/anatomy-and-physiology-2e)with supplemental activities and applications. With a unique approach to learning combining both art and science, you are sure to find enjoyment in exploring the mystery and marvel of the human body!

This course of the second A&P specialization concludes with a systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level with the major body systems related to blood filtration and continuity of life: the urinary and reproductive systems. Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease. After completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Identify the major parts of the urinary and reproductive systems; 2. Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the urinary and reproductive systems; 3. Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the urinary system; and 4. Explain the process of typical human gestation and delivery.

The course of the second A&P specialization continues a systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level. Two major body systems related to gas exchange and energy consumption will be explored in detail: the respiratory and digestive systems. Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease. After completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Identify the major parts of the respiratory and digestive systems; 2. Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the respiratory and digestive systems; 3. Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the respiratory and digestive systems.
