Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology

Basic Human Biology introduces the essential language and organization of the human body for learners preparing for healthcare training and entry-level clinical roles. Students build a practical foundation in anatomy and physiology by examining anatomical terminology, body planes and regions, levels of biological organization, and the structure and function of the eleven organ systems.
