Throughout Introduction to the Human Body B, we'll build upon the foundations established in Human Body A to explore the fascinating body systems.
In this unit, you'll discover the structures and functions of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and endocrine systems that work together to support life. You'll become more confident in using anatomical terminology to locate structures within the body, enhancing your ability to communicate about human anatomy.
We'll dive deeper into homeostatic mechanisms and feedback loops, exploring how these systems maintain internal balance in response to changing conditions. Through critical thinking exercises, you'll connect anatomical structures with their physiological functions, seeing how form and function are intimately related in the human body.
Most importantly, you'll begin to understand how your knowledge of normal body structures and systems relates to health and disease states across the lifespan--laying groundwork that will be invaluable whether you're pursuing a health career or simply seeking to understand your own body better.
