Survey of Anatomy & Physiology

The Survey of Anatomy & Physiology course is a primer to the major anatomical structures of the human body systems. Intended as a basic introduction to anatomy and physiology, this course takes students through fundamental anatomical terms and basic cellular biology as applied to the structure and function of several organ systems that make up the human body. Throughout this course, students will explore the essential principles of human anatomy and physiology including the basic chemistry, cell and tissue composition and an overview of the all of the body systems. Designed as a foundation for allied health students, the Survey of Anatomy and Physiology course will provide students with the essential understanding of the various organs of the body, their structure and location within the human body as well as their individual function and collective interaction with other parts of the body as part of multiple, interconnected and complex systems.

This course is meant to provide a survey of homeostasis of the body as well as the various structures and functions that keep it working. Body systems include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, male and female reproductive, digestive, respiratory, lymphatic, and urinary systems. Intended as a survey course for certain allied health programs, this course is a great introduction to the healthcare fields and provides a significant foundation from which students can launch their allied health education. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify and describe the anatomy, and demonstrate an understanding of the physiology of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ system levels.


Class Objectives

After completing this class, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the organization of the human body
  • Describe the major anatomical structures and functions of each body system
  • Explain the contribution that each body system makes to homeostasis of the body

 

Specimen Handling, Transportation, and Processing for the Phlebotomist
Credentials in Phlebotomy demonstrate the development of skills for healthcare professionals who collect blood, urine, fecal specimens, seminal fluid, sputum, and other body specimens. They collect, label, package, transport, use lab equipment to test, enter data into computers, report on, and store body fluid specimen. Phlebotomists are employed in general medical and surgical hospitals, specialty hospitals, medical and diagnostic laboratories, ambulatory health care services, physicians offices, insurance carriers, state government offices, home health care services, blood donation facilities, and other facilities. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain proper procedures for handling, transporting, and processing blood specimens.
Arterial, Intravenous, and Special Collection Procedures for the Phlebotomist
Credentials in Phlebotomy demonstrate the development of skills for healthcare professionals who collect blood, urine, fecal specimens, seminal fluid, sputum, and other body specimens. They collect, label, package, transport, use lab equipment to test, enter data into computers, report on, and store body fluid specimen. Phlebotomists are employed in general medical and surgical hospitals, specialty hospitals, medical and diagnostic laboratories, ambulatory health care services, physicians offices, insurance carriers, state government offices, home health care services, blood donation facilities, and other facilities. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe the procedures and precautions for special blood collection purposes (blood culture, glucose tolerance testing, lactose tolerance testing, arterial blood gases, therapeutic drug monitoring, IV line collections, etc.).
Elimination Reactions of Alkyl Halides - Substitution and Elimination
Credentials in Organic Chemistry denote earners' foundational knowledge of organic chemistry concepts to understand and perform tasks in their daily responsibilities.. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain the elimination reactions of alkyl halides including the factors that determine whether a given alkyl halide will undergo a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction, or both substitution and elimination reactions.
Mass Spectrometry, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet/ Visible Spectroscopy
Many different professionals who work in science, education, and health industries require a foundational knowledge of organic chemistry concepts to understand and perform tasks in their daily responsibilities.. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain how the structures of organic compounds are determined using mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy.
