Anatomy & Physiology: Regulation, Integration, & Control (Coursera)

Offered by Rice University,
Anatomy & Physiology: Regulation, Integration, & Control (Coursera)

This course continues the systems-based approach to human anatomy and physiology at the organ, organ system, and organism level. Two major body systems related to regulation and integration of information will be explored in detail: the nervous and endocrine systems. Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease.
