Description

This topic begins with a good introduction to the different types of joints (fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial) and each is described in more detail. A table gives a comparison between joint types and modern everyday items for the students to relate to (e.g. a hinge and the elbow joint). The next part of this topic describes the muscular system and gives a brief introduction to the axial and appendicular muscular system. The three types of muscle tissue are also described.

Description

This course will provide the student with an overview of the body from a systemic perspective. Each unit will focus on one system, or network of organs that work together to perform a particular function. At the end of this course, the student will review the ways in which the systems overlap, as well as discuss current body imaging techniques and learn how to correctly interpret the images in order to put our newly-gained anatomical knowledge to practical use. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 302)

Description

In this lab, the student will review the anatomy and histology of the organs by using images of models, microscopic slides, and videos on cat and sheep dissections. The student will then be asked to assess his or her knowledge, which eventually can be put to practical or experimental use. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 302 Laboratory)

Description

Physiology is the study of the processes of the body. This course is about the unconscious mechanics of living; the student will look at each organ system in detail and then discuss the ways in which the systems interact in order to maintain the body at an optimal state. Metabolism and homeostasis—or the maintenance of the body at a set, optimal level—will be the primary themes. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 304)

Description

This unit is designed to enable you to develop your understanding of human anatomy and physiology. You will also be able to analyse and discuss the effects of various complementary therapies on these functions. As you work through the pack, you should also be researching your chosen therapy in relation to each of the systems of the body.
