Anatomy

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

In this XSeries you will explore human anatomy using a systems approach, and a vast library of multimedia materials, so you may understand the features of different organ systems in relation to the human body’s form and function.

This XSeries covers the following organ systems:

Integumentary System
Musculoskeletal System
Cardiovascular System
Respiratory System
Urinary System
Nervous System
Gastrointestinal System
Reproductive System
Endocrine System

This XSeries takes advantage of a highly visual multimedia library of accurate anatomical models and materials to help you better understand the topics.

Syllabus

Courses under this program:
Course 1: Anatomy: Musculoskeletal and Integumentary Systems

Learn about the integumentary system (skin, hair, nails, and glands), and how the bones, joints, and muscles of the musculoskeletal system function.

Course 2: Anatomy: Cardiovascular, Urinary, and Respiratory Systems

Learn the multifaceted structures and functions of the cardiovascular, urinary, and respiratory systems.

Course 3: Anatomy: Human Neuroanatomy

Learn about the different parts of the central nervous system and how they work together with the entire body.

Course 4: Anatomy: Gastrointestinal, Reproductive and Endocrine Systems

Study the gastrointestinal, reproductive and endocrine systems to learn the primary functions of each and how they relate to the human body.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will learn how the components of the integumentary system help protect our body (epidermis, dermis, hair, nails, and glands), and how the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and skeletal muscles) protects and allows the body to move.

You will engage with fascinating videos, lectures, and anatomical visual materials (illustrations and cadaveric images) to learn about these properties and functions.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. You will learn about basic neuroanatomy, sensory pathways, motor pathways and the autonomic nervous system.

The course includes illustrated lecture videos and quizzes to help you expand and test your knowledge of the nervous system.

By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how the entire body influences, and is influenced, by the nervous system.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you’ll learn about the various digestive, endocrine, and reproductive organs, their functions, and pathways of nerves and blood vessels serving these organs. Clinical correlations and vignettes will be used to highlight the importance of these anatomical structures and their relationships. Images and videos from cadaveric and artistic materials will be used to illustrate these concepts.
