This course provides the vocabulary, theory, principles, and hands-on experience to support the practical, clinical, and technical requirements of programs that require knowledge of the human systems. The interrelationships of body systems are presented so that the human body is studied as an integrated whole and emphasis is placed on homeostatic mechanisms as they relate to health and disease. Topics include: anatomy and physiology of endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, immune, digestive, renal and reproductive systems; integrative homeostatic theories of life support and maintenance.
