The human body is a complex organism and anatomy and physiology is a challenging and fascinating field of study. There are hundreds of cells making up many different tissues and organs that combine to form the various organ systems and eventually an efficient human organism. We will begin our study at the chemical level and through cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems as well as touching on microbiology. As we study the human body, we will be introduced to a whole new language. Many of the terms we will learn are based on Greek and Latin. We are hopeful and confident you will appreciate the knowledge and understanding you will gain in this endeavor of the study of the human body.
