Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology Bundle

Every vast system is made up of groups of tinier parts and components that have specific functions and purposes. The human body, for example, is a huge hierarchy of body systems, organs, tissues, and cells (the most basic unit). This course will discuss the structure and functions of the human cell. This course will start off with the outer protective cover called the cell membrane. It will then move on with the structures that make up the cell called organelles such as the Nucleus, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Lysosomes, Centrioles, Golgi apparatus, and Endoplasmic reticulum.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Understand what anatomy & physiology is
• Know what the human cell is made of
• Learn about the function of each cell organelle

In this series, you will learn about the human cell structures and their specific functions each must perform and complete in order for the Human organism to stay alive and healthy throughout its expected "Life Cycle". In addition, this course will discuss the "disease process" which is essentially a dysfunction that can occur at any time when any of the six basic functions of a healthy organism is negatively impacted, as well as the main factors responsible for initiating the "disease process".

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Learn about the human cell structure & functions
• Know what protoplasm is
• Understand the 6 basic functions of a healthy organism
• Get an overview of the human body's disease process

We all know now that the cell is the most basic unit of the human body. As a huge collection of organ systems, we shouldn't be surprised that there are almost 37.2 trillion cells in our body. But where do these cells come from? This course will discuss Mitosis. It's an asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into 2 identical cells. This video will cover the process of cell division and all the key players including the Nucleus, Chromatin, Chromosomes, Chromatids, Centrioles, Centrosome, Spindle Fibers, Centromeres, Cytoplasm and last but not least the two new identical cells.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Understand what mitosis is
• Know which types of cell reproduce constantly & which does not
• Learn about the key players in the cell division process

Mapping of the body is extremely important to anyone in the Health Sciences or medical fields. Whether you are a nurse aide or a surgeon, you need to understand the body in order to care for a patient properly. This course will discuss Views, Body Planes, and Directional Terms. Understanding these concepts will help you better visualize positional and spatial locations of various body structures as well as easily navigate from one location to another.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Describe the standard position in human anatomy
• Understand the importance of body mapping
• Indicate regions & features using Views, Planes, and Directional Terms

This course is a continuation of the Mapping the Body, Part 1. It now focuses on abdominal mapping where the body is classified into regions and quadrants. This process is usually done to facilitate thorough study and discussion and is used by clinicians to determine the organs and tissues that may be causing pain or discomfort. In this course, you'll learn the body's main regions and quadrants, and the organs located in each.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Understand the importance of locating body cavities, quadrants & regions
• Know what body cavities are & the organs located in it
• Learn about the body quadrants
• Go over the 9 abdominal regions & the corresponding organs

Now that you have completed the lectures on Mapping of the Body, you'll now start studying one of the 12 systems of the human body. The Integumentary System is made up of three major parts: the skin, hair, and nails. Its major function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from various kinds of damage from the outside world. In this course, you'll be looking at the largest sense organ - the skin, it's structure and functions.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Know the main function of the Integumentary System
• Take a closer look at the skin & its functions
• Learn about the epidermis, dermis & hypodermis

The Integumentary System Part 1 course covered the three main parts of the integumentary system which are the skin hair and nails. In part two of this series, we'll take a look at some of the main functions of the integumentary system. The first and most important function of the integumentary system is protection; it acts as a barrier to the sun's ultraviolet rays and to the invasion of pathogens or germs through sensory perception. You'll also learn how the body is able to respond to pain pressure, temperature as well as touch.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Understand how the skin acts a barrier from mechanical impacts, pressure, chemicals & more
• Learn about the skin's regulation process affecting body temperature, vitamin synthesis & fluid balance
• Know how the skin detects & relay changes in the environment

This course is the third and last part of the Integumentary System lecture. After knowing the main parts and functions of this system, we'll now move on to the usual diseases of the skin. This course will cover acne, skin cancer, athlete's foot, melanoma, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and more, as well as their causes.

• Access 1 lecture & 0.17 hour of content 24/7
• Learn about common skin conditions
• Understand how abnormalities within the skin organs are affecting these diseases
• Know how to cure or prevent these diseases
