Anatomy & Physiology: Filtration and Reproduction (Coursera)

Offered by Rice University,
Anatomy & Physiology: Filtration and Reproduction (Coursera)

This course of the second A&P specialization concludes with a systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level with the major body systems related to blood filtration and continuity of life: the urinary and reproductive systems.

Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease.
After completing this course, you will be able to:

  1. Identify the major parts of the urinary and reproductive systems;
  2. Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the urinary and reproductive systems;
  3. Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the urinary system; and
  4. Explain the process of typical human gestation and delivery.

This course is part of the Human Anatomy & Physiology II Specialization.

Medical Neuroscience explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. The course will build upon knowledge acquired through prior studies of cell and molecular biology, general physiology and human anatomy, as we focus primarily on the central nervous system.
