Human Anatomy and Physiology

Program Description

The Human Anatomy & Physiology program at Mid-America College of Health Sciences is a 4-credit-hour (60-clock-hour) program focused on the normal structure and functioning of the human body, basic chemistry, cellular structure, and principles of microbiology as the science relates to infection and infection control.

Through classroom and laboratory instruction, this course provides an understanding of the gross structure and normal functions of the human body, including normal processes of the different organs, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic systems.

Included in this course are principles of basic chemistry and microbiology and medical terminology as it relates to defining human anatomy and its processes. This course provides a solid background for assessing deviations from normal body structure and functions caused by illness.
