Introduction to the Body

 

This course will be taken by all health care students. It introduces all systems of the body, including anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Proper function will be discussed alongside important conditions and diseases

 

This entrypoint will be described with a picture of the human body, with all body systems illustrated and clickable.

Each will bring the user to an introduction of each system, how it develops (embryology and growth), how it normally functions (cell biology, anatomy, physiology, interactions) what can potentially go wrong with it (threats to health, conditions and diseases), how it presents (signs and symptoms), how to evaluate it (history and physical), what tests to perform (investigations), and what do do to restore its function (treatments).
