Focuses on human structure and function and provides a foundation for public health professionals by equipping them with an integrated understanding of the dynamic human body, its various biological processes, and associated diseases. The course begins at the simplest level of cellular organization and progresses to tissues, organs, and organ systems. Specific body systems covered include Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Endocrine, Nervous, Digestive, Male and Female Reproductive, Musculoskeletal, Skeletal, and Immune. The complementary structure and function of the healthy body is highlighted as its systems work together to maintain a constant homeostatic environment. Clinical examples are provided to help the student understand the disease process as a disruption of normal structure and function. This will allow them to communicate to various audiences how disease functions within the human body as well as discuss lifestyle factors that are associated with disease onset and progression.
