Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology Part 01
What you'll learn
- Fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology
- Clinical aspects of human anatomy and physiology
- The relationship between form (anatomy) versus function (physiology)
- Critical problem solving skills using physiological concepts
Requirements
- Basic biology
- Basic chemistry
- Basic algebraic formula manipulation
Description
This course is equivalent to a first semester of Human Anatomy & Physiology, more commonly referred to as A&P1. In A&P1, we will explore and discuss the foundations of biochemistry, anatomical terminology, cell physiology, genetics, metabolic function and nutrition, histology, integumental physiology, musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology, and will end with a brief introduction to the nervous system. We will go through and work on practice problems related to each of these concepts to help reinforce the material.
Upon completing this course, I strongly encourage you to continue with my Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology Part 02 course. This is the equivalent to a second semester of Human Anatomy & Physiology or A&P2. A&P2 will be a systems-based course where we will hit the ground running by going over a comprehensive analysis of the nervous and sensory systems. We continue by talking about the endocrine systems, the cardiovascular system, rental system, lymphatic and immune systems, gastrointestinal systems, and wrap up the “semester” by going over the male and female reproductive systems.
While my goal is to go over all of the fundamentals as comprehensively as possible, the onus is still on you to make sure you understand what I have gone over. Play and replay my videos as many times as necessary until the material sticks.
Prerequisite(s):
-Basic biology

My name is Dr D and I am a scientist, professor of human anatomy & physiology, and longtime STEM educator. I did my university work in biomedical engineering & physics with a focus in biochemistry and biostatistics. My MS and PhD are in cardiovascular and hemodynamic physiology. I have been an educator for more than a decade now and have taught thousands of students the fundamental principles of human anatomy & physiology, physics, statistics, differential calculus, algebra, organic chemistry, general chemistry, biostatistics, biochemistry, English literature & composition, biology, and multivariable calculus. I have also created and run examination preparation courses for students interested in taking the GREs, MCATs, PCATs, DATs as well as medical students taking the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 exams.
My strength as an educator comes from critically scrutinizing information and incorporating various opinions/perspectives into my own. Doing so has allowed me to develop a thorough understanding about the topics that I have taught. I strive to provide that knowledge to my students through comprehensive explanations as is evidenced in my lecture videos and reinforced practice.
When I am not teaching, I love to cook, play videogames, solve puzzles, build/tinker, and laugh. I don’t liken myself to a comedian by any stretch of the imagination but nevertheless, I love to make myself and the people around me laugh. I work in very serious and stressful environments so being able to add levity to situations has been integral for me and how I manage stress. I take my work and what I do very seriously, but by no means do I take myself seriously; I am my biggest source of laughter.
