Explore electromyography (EMG) to visualize muscle electrical activity during contraction, and understand how increasing grip force recruits more motor units, raising EMG amplitude.
Explore neuron anatomy, including dendrites, soma, nucleus, axon, axon hillock, and how Schwann cells form the myelin sheath and nodes of Rojava speed transmission to target tissue.
Explore the human eye anatomy, including eye muscles (rectus and oblique), lacrimal gland, cornea, sclera, iris, pupil, retina, choroid, anterior and posterior cavities, and the optic nerve.
Visualizes the cardiovascular system from an anterior view, detailing the heart, arteries and veins, the aorta, pulmonary trunk and pulmonary veins, and the ligament arteriosum.
Explore the larynx anatomy, focusing on the hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, trachea, epiglottis, and nearby thyroid gland, and how the epiglottis closes to protect the lungs.
Explore spirometry to measure respiratory volume and assess lung function, using a device referred to as a barometer, and analyze variables observed in lab experiments.
Trace the digestive system from oral cavity to esophagus, stomach, duodenum, ileum, and large intestine, with spleen, liver, and pancreas, and features like the ileocecal valve.
Explore the liver as a digestive system organ from an inferior view. Identify left and right lobes, ligaments, and bile duct system—gallbladder, cystic duct, hepatic duct, and common bile duct.
Explore the stomach, pancreas, duodenum, and gallbladder, detailing bile duct formation and entry into the duodenum via the papilla. Identify pancreatic ducts.
This course is part 2 of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Course.
Students will learn about all of the major body systems, and they will also be introduced to other topics such as human skeletal muscles, nervous system, special senses, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.
To really grasp the human body, you need to do more than just memorize the names of its parts and how they’re organized. You also need to understand how they work together as one and learn how your body works differently from other organisms. The human body works as one incredible machine. It’s amazing to think about how the trillions of cells in our bodies function together to make every move, every breath, and every heartbeat possible. In this course on human anatomy and physiology, you’ll explore how different body parts work together to perform functions.
There are 7 units in this course that cover these areas.
Unit 1 is about "The Skeletal Muscles physiology and Neuroendocrine system".
Unit 2 focuses on "The Central Nervous System"
Unit 3 focuses on "The Anatomy and Function of Special Senses".
Unit 4 focuses on "The Anatomy of Circulatory System".
Unit 5 focuses on "The Physiology of Circulatory System".
Unit 6 focuses on "The Respiratory and Digestive System".
Unit 7 focuses on "The Urinary and Reproductive System".
Those who are interested in learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body would benefit from this course, including allied health programs such as nursing, physical therapy, pre-chiropractic, and pre-medicine. It's a level 200 college course and High school students taking an Advanced Placement course in Anatomy and Physiology should find this one useful as well. It’s a stand-alone course, but it also functions as a supporting course. It’s a great review course, too. This course lays out the material in a straightforward manner, including critical points in the text. And this course is a time saver for students because provides already labeled structures of the lab models which are difficult to find in the lab.
