This book covers the main principles and concepts of the human body from chemistry, cell biology, histology, skin structures, articulations, bones, muscles, nervous system, and sense organs. The rest of the organ systems are covered in the second part of this two-book sequence. The book is designed for students who plan to pursue a career in the health sciences and is considered as the main opportunity to learn about the human body. Skin, bones, muscles, and the components of the nervous systems are all covered both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels.
Students who successfully complete the first part of human anatomy and physiology should be able to define roots, prefixes and suffixes of medical terminology, relate and apply the concepts of pH, temperature, and homeostasis to various systems, and identify organs along with functions of the covered systems. Additionally, students should be able to discuss the connectedness between the anatomy and the physiology of the organs.
Chemical and cellular concepts of biology are covered as they relate to the human body. A student is expected to summarize the steps of protein synthesis and distinguish between an atom, cell, tissue, organ, organ system. These points can be assessed in the book through a variety of critical thinking, essay, and multiple choice questions.
