Easy Anatomy and Physiology (Platinum Edition)

An Easy Guide to Learning the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body

This course presents many of the topics found in a typical 2-semester college anatomy and physiology course.

The topics are presented through animated videos and an ebook (An Easy Guide to Learning Anatomy and Physiology). Each body system is presented separately and there are quizzes at the end of each section. The typical time to complete this course is from about 8 - 12 weeks.

Anyone wishing to learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human body will find this course useful, particularly students in allied health programs such as nursing, physical therapy, pre-chiropractic, and pre-medicine.

High school students taking A&P should find this course helpful as well.

This course is useful as a stand alone course or for supporting existing A&P courses. It also serves as a great review of A&P.

What are the requirements?

• High school reading level.

What am I going to get from this course?

• Over 109 lectures and 10.5 hours of content!
