Course overview
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the gross anatomical structures and physiological processes of the human body, and the ways in which bodily systems integrate with each other. Students will develop an understanding of the normal function of the endocrine, reproductive, renal, gastrointestinal and immune systems and their limitations. Through experiential activities, students will also develop their skills in communication and team work as well as data analysis and critical thinking. This course aligns with health and biomedical programs intent to provide foundational understanding of anatomical and physiological concepts.
- Endocrine & Reproductive Systems
- Digestive & Urinary Systems
- Immunity,
