Anatomy
Offered By: University of Michigan via edX
Course Description
Overview
In this XSeries you will explore human anatomy using a systems approach, and a vast library of multimedia materials, so you may understand the features of different organ systems in relation to the human body’s form and function.
This XSeries covers the following organ systems:
- Integumentary System
- Musculoskeletal System
- Cardiovascular System
- Respiratory System
- Urinary System
- Nervous System
- Gastrointestinal System
- Reproductive System
- Endocrine System
This XSeries takes advantage of a highly visual multimedia library of accurate anatomical models and materials to help you better understand the topics.
Syllabus
Courses under this program:
Course 1: Anatomy: Musculoskeletal and Integumentary Systems
Learn about the integumentary system (skin, hair, nails, and glands), and how the bones, joints, and muscles of the musculoskeletal system function.
Course 2: Anatomy: Cardiovascular, Urinary, and Respiratory Systems
Learn the multifaceted structures and functions of the cardiovascular, urinary, and respiratory systems.
Course 3: Anatomy: Human Neuroanatomy
Learn about the different parts of the central nervous system and how they work together with the entire body.
Course 4: Anatomy: Gastrointestinal, Reproductive and Endocrine Systems
Study the gastrointestinal, reproductive and endocrine systems to learn the primary functions of each and how they relate to the human body.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will learn how the components of the integumentary system help protect our body (epidermis, dermis, hair, nails, and glands), and how the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and skeletal muscles) protects and allows the body to move.
You will engage with fascinating videos, lectures, and anatomical visual materials (illustrations and cadaveric images) to learn about these properties and functions.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will explore the interactive relationships of the cardiovascular, respiratory and urinary systems, and the roles they play in your body.
This course is a primer for the cardiovascular, respiratory, and urinary systems in which students learn the pertinent details of the structures and functions through a combination of lectures, videos, labeling activities and quizzes.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. You will learn about basic neuroanatomy, sensory pathways, motor pathways and the autonomic nervous system.
The course includes illustrated lecture videos and quizzes to help you expand and test your knowledge of the nervous system.
By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how the entire body influences, and is influenced, by the nervous system.

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you’ll learn about the various digestive, endocrine, and reproductive organs, their functions, and pathways of nerves and blood vessels serving these organs. Clinical correlations and vignettes will be used to highlight the importance of these anatomical structures and their relationships. Images and videos from cadaveric and artistic materials will be used to illustrate these concepts.
