Rice University

Anatomy & Physiology: Fluids, Transport, and Defense

Rice University via Coursera

Overview

This course in the second A&P specialization uses a systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level. Two major body systems related to fluids and transportation will be explored in detail: the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune 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 cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems; 2. Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems; 3. Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems.
