Anatomy: Gastrointestinal, Reproductive and Endocrine Systems

This course will soon be retired. Last day to enroll is August 31, 2022 at 23:59 UTC.

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.
