Overview

What you'll
be able to do.

As biomedical engineers work in the healthcare industry, an understanding of human anatomy and physiology is imperative to working with medical devices that interface with the body. In addition to this, a background on the structure and working of the human body is needed to effectively develop medical instruments.

That is why this course is designed to strengthen your fundamentals on the anatomy and physiology of the human body. You will be taken through the details of how the body works from a basic cellular unit, to whole complex systems. By taking this course, you will learn about the following:

Cells and tissues
Senses in the human body
Homeostasis
Anatomy and physiology of systems in the human body

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue systems
Cardiovascular system
Respiratory system
Digestive system
Nervous system
Endocrine system
Gastrointestinal system
Urinary system

Throughout this course, you will apply your understanding of the theoretical concepts learned to complete challenges and projects that reflect industry standards.

Who can enrol in this course?
