What you will learn

  • Learn the foundations of basic human anatomy for every major organ system and the relationships between systems
  • Understand the major functions and significance of each system, particularly from the perspective of a future healthcare worker
  • Learn the relevance of organ system features in wellness and pathology
  • Understand how to engage in the study of anatomy from a system-based approach

In this XSeries you will explore human anatomy using a systems approach, and a vast library of multimedia materials, so you may understand the features of different organ systems in relation to the human body’s form and function.

This XSeries covers the following organ systems:

  • Integumentary System
  • Musculoskeletal System
  • Cardiovascular System
  • Respiratory System
  • Urinary System
  • Nervous System
  • Gastrointestinal System
  • Reproductive System
  • Endocrine System

This XSeries takes advantage of a highly visual multimedia library of accurate anatomical models and materials to help you better understand the topics.
