Course Learning Outcomes

1. Practice using basic anatomical and physiological terms.
2. Describe basic anatomy and physiology of the major body systems (ie. integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems).
3. Describe how body systems interact with one another in human health and disease.
4. Explain the concept of homeostasis using examples of homeostatic regulatory mechanisms.
