Subscript

Navigate the complexities of the human body with our Anatomy and Physiology course. From the fundamental units focusing on the chemical and cellular levels of organization; explore atomic structures, cell membranes, organelles, and cellular processes in stunning detail. The course progresses to the tissues and organs that form the major systems. Students will delve deep into the structure, function, and physiology of the human body, gaining an intimate understanding of how the body maintains and facilitates life processes.

Systems in Sync

Understand movement and structure by exploring the composition and function of muscles and how they work with the skeletal and nervous systems. Investigate the dynamics of blood flow, the mechanics of breathing, and the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens and discover how the respiratory, cardiovascular, and immune systems work in concert to fuel and protect the body. Navigate the digestive, urinary and reproductive systems and see how the body processes nutrients, manages waste, and perpetuates life. Our virtual labs offer hands-on experience with urinalysis and blood tests, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Build and Discover 

Bridge the gap between theory and practice by constructing muscle tissue, attaching nerves, and building cells. Gain experience performing techniques such as urinalysis and blood smears, developing microscopy skills, and using equipment such as respirometers and blood pressure monitors. Our interactive simulations bring to light the complexities of life’s structures and functions and their integration into systems, providing students with a clear picture of the body's incredible machinery.
