Overview
Anatomy & Physiology (AAP) are the fundamental building blocks of healthcare practice. Without a deep understanding of the internal body, health professionals cannot truly evaluate, diagnose and treat illnesses.
AAP course is a dynamic, comprehensive study intended to advance your knowledge of the human body. Anatomy examines the structures of the body. Physiology is the study of multiple functions associated with each structure. This course covers the shape, structures, and functions and provides a fundamental understanding of how the human body operates to sustain life.
Academically effective learnings content includes such topics as levels of organization (cells and tissues), physiological mechanisms of regulation and control (homeostasis), support and movement (anatomy and biomechanics of the spine and major joints), transport of fluids (blood and lymph), energy, maintenance, and environmental exchange.
The course examines integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, lymphatic, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and digestive systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the advanced anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, with each body region covered in a separate section of the course. The biomechanical link between movement and functional anatomy is further examined through an in-depth explanation of the biomechanics of the spinal column including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar-sacral segments.
The learning material is delivered through fifteen online lectures and includes
- recorded lectures
- downloadable presentations
- video tutorials
- online textbooks
- self-assessment quizzes
- communication with a course instructor
- Certificate of Completion
- lifetime access to course updates

Course Reviews
I learned more in a few weeks than I would have learned in an entire year by myself.
