This course will provide basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology necessary for clinical practice. The course begins with an introduction to basic anatomy including descriptive terms and basic structures and a review of cellular physiology as an introduction to physiology. With this basis of knowledge the course continues with investigation of major systems including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, blood/lymphatic, cardiovascular, immune/defense, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. The emphasis of the course will be on learning basic anatomical structures and coordinating physiology and on their practical application to clinical practice.
