Description

This course utilizes a body systems approach to focus on the organization, function, and structure of the human body including common conditions diagnosed and treated in the healthcare setting. Students learn to recognize the causes, signs and syptoms of diseases of the major body systems and become familiar with this terminology. This course is designed as an option for students needing anatomy and physiology where an on-campus setting is not possible, but is not intended for transfer to other programs outside of medical assisting and health information technology. Students should speak with an advisor if wishing to transfer anatomy and physiology credit to another college or university.
