Calendar Description
Students study a basic overview of human body systems and disease,
and learn to identify, anatomy, physiology and pathology of the body.
This knowledge is essential in an office administration - medical
role and allows for better communication and understanding of patient
conditions in a clinical practice. Students identify and discuss
the shape, structure, and functions of the human body systems. They
examine deviations from normal healthy functions to illness, and
disease processes within the human body. Emphasis is placed on the
interrelationship of structure and function and on the human body as
a living, homeostatic organism.
Through the review of case studies, power point lectures,
collaborative discussions and chats students cover topics such as;
inflammation, infection, blood, the immune, cardiovascular,
lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine,
musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. Additionally eye, ear,
genetic, developmental, childhood, and mental health diseases and
disorders are also discussed.
