Course Objectives "The goal of this course is to explain the main concepts of human anatomy and physiology:
• Requirements for human life• Intercellular networks• Cellular and tissue levels of organization
• Regulation, Integration and physiological control• System physiology: Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Respiratory,Digestive, Urinary "

Learning Outcomes After successful  completion of the course, the student will be able to:
  1. Explain human anatomy and physiology: describe cellular levels of organization, and the basics of biochemistry and cell biology.
  2. Explore the skin and examine the body’s skeletal and muscular systems, following a traditional sequence of topics.
  3. Discuss system physiology and system control and regulation.
  4. Explain and examine histological samples and basic laboratory practice in cell culture
  5. Discover the interaction between body systems and the outside environment for the exchange of materials, the capture of energy, the release of waste, and the overall maintenance of the internal systems that regulate the exchange.
