It's time to learn about the human body! As complex as we are, if we have enough background knowledge in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, it's not all that hard to understand. We know about cells, and the human body is made of different types of tissues, which are just groups of certain kinds of cells. These come together to make organs and systems, all of which serve some pretty miraculous functions. So let's learn about structure, or anatomy, and function, or physiology, so that we are set up to learn all kinds of other subjects that require knowledge of the human body!

As I told you before.
I am a medical student.
Although I teach all courses with high quality and according to the new method,
But taking online courses in top universities and in different parts of the world, in addition to helping me review and repeat what I have learned, it can also teach me new things.
It can introduce me to different perspectives of teaching in different universities, which in turn is an interesting experience.
Also, as a positive point in inter-university competitions, I can use these trainings to surpass my other competitors.
Another important thing that I think of as my long-term motivation is immigration. And I work hard to achieve it.
Furthermore
Communicating with professors and experts and carrying out numerous research projects if they accept me as their diligent student.
I am willing and proud to cooperate with them.
Just how i should get this certification?

As a medical student .....I will at that this courses are great....the anatomy and the physiology.....system by system....the breakdown was everything I needed.....I have learned so much from this courses......and it has helped to broaden my knowledge as a medical student
Denisse Cabison

I learned a lot from the video and it really explained every single details of it in the most simple way a student like me can understand quickly. He also uses pictures to show what he was discussing which was nice because the students were able to visualize the lesson.

I have learned several things in this course ,I have got the key words that will help me.
Anatomy and physilogy is the best course that equips someone with concepts on human body system functions.

Professor Dave first introduces the importance of having a background knowledge in physics, chemistry, biology and biochemistry in order to understand the human body. He then lays out the different levels of complexity that one needs to understand, starting from atoms and molecules, then cells, tissues, organs, and finally the whole body systems.
Theerthana Shivaranjani.P

I'd rate the Anatomy & Physiology Professor Dave Explains course 4 out of 5 stars. The content is comprehensive, and Professor Dave's explanations are clear. However, occasional pacing issues could be improved for better engagement. Overall, a valuable resource for understanding complex concepts.
