2. Human Anatomy & Physiology I

In this specialization, you will receive an introduction to human anatomy and physiology! Together, we will explore foundational concepts as well as the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body as it pertains to five major body systems: the integumentary (skin), skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine (hormone) systems.\n\nThese courses will utilize a free, open-source text (https://openstax.org/details/books/anatomy-and-physiology-2e)with supplemental activities and applications. With a unique approach to learning combining both art and science, you are sure to find enjoyment in exploring the mystery and marvel of the human body!...

3. Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology

4.6

(161)

This is the most comprehensive course for cardiac anatomy & physiology. Graduate and undergraduate students in the health-care or life sciences fields will encounter a thorough overview of the anatomical features of the heart and the physiological mechanisms underlying a normal cardiac cycle. These mechanisms are covered in depth. Students will get an exhaustive tour of the heart: 1.)  external and internal anatomy of heart, 2.) coronary arteries and veins, 3.) cardiac conduction system, 4.) autonomic innervation of the heart and its role in regulating blood pressure, 5.) the heart as a gland or an endocrine organ and the hormones cardiac cells release, 6.) basic mechanisms of cardiac electrophysiology beginning with the cellular biophysics of ion channels all the way to action potentials in pacemaker and muscle cells of the heart, 7.) autonomic regulation of  chronotropy, inotropy, dromotropy, and contractility, 8.) basics of the ECG, including vector orientation and the mean electrical axis, 9.) and the effect of preload, afterload, and contractility on the force-length, force-velocity, and pressure-volume relationships in the heart. By the end of this course, students will develop a solid foundation in basic cardiology, enabling them to apply what they've learned to more advanced applications...

4. Anatomy & Physiology: Levels of Organization

This course will provide a basic introduction to the human body. It will examine common organizational patterns and terms in anatomy. It will also provide a micro-level view of essential elements and compounds at the atomical and molecular level before expanding to the cellular and tissue levels. Finally, we will look at how tissue can form organs and even an entire organ system with the skin through our look at the Integumentary System. This course provides a strong foundation upon which the future system-based courses in the specialization will build!...

5. Easy Anatomy and Physiology (Platinum Edition)

4.5

(1,253)

This course presents many of the topics found in a typical 2-semester college anatomy and physiology course. The topics are presented through animated videos and an ebook (An Easy Guide to Learning Anatomy and Physiology). Each body system is presented separately and there are quizzes at the end of each section. The typical time to complete this course is from about 8 - 12 weeks. Anyone wishing to learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human body will find this course useful, particularly students in allied health programs such as nursing, physical therapy, pre-chiropractic, and pre-medicine. High school students taking A & P should find this course helpful as well. This course is useful as a stand alone course or for supporting existing A & P courses. It also serves as a great review of A & P...

6. Fitness and Exercise Essentials: Anatomy and Physiology

4.1

(73)

This course is one of three installments. This study focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the body in relation to exercise and fitness. It's time to start understanding WHY we should eat certain foods and stay away from others. Now, we can answer the question what makes some people faster than others. Get the low down on what metabolism really is. And understand the make-up of the human body, so you can truly understand why you are working out. If you want chiseled abs... start understanding your body and how it functions in exercise. If you want to lose 30 pounds by summer, learn how food interacts as a key player in your body's physical make-up...

7. Anatomy and Physiology 1 (A & P I)

3.9

(64)

This is a college-level introductory anatomy and physiology course taught at a pace for learning and understanding. It is a great way to learn basic biology concepts from all disciplines of biology or to aid you as you are taking a college anatomy, physiology or anatomy AND physiology I course.  This course covers introductory terminology, chemistry, cells, a special section for DNA, mitosis and meiosis, tissues, skin, joints, muscles, nervous tissue, the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system and special senses. Essentially, we will be building a solid foundation in this class which will be able to support us through A & P II. From there goes health and medical programs. If you begin your success here, it will be a ton easier to continue building successes throughout your educational and professional career. This course is very much a work-in-progress and some videos will be replaced with time. Each section contains a quiz at the end of the section with 6 questions (except the first which is 4 questions) for thoughtful reflection on the material. Please preview the class before purchasing...

8. Foundations in Yoga Anatomy:2 Muscle Physiology and Function

4.8

(212)

If you have ever tried to study the muscles and found the information to be dry and tedious with little connection to what happens on the yoga mat- then you need this course! The study of muscle FUNCTION will transform the way that you understand movement and the way that you structure your yoga classes. The information in this course will make studying the muscles an interesting and engaging process. This is the 2nd in a series of 3 courses that contain the Comprehensive Anatomy module that I teach in 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. This Course is also eligible for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits through the YACEP dashboard. I am also a CEU provider for the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) Upon Completion of this course you will be able to answer the following Questions: What is a Yoga Teacher's Scope of Practice?What are the Connective Tissues of the Body?What is Fascia?What are the 3 types of muscles found in the Body?What are muscles Made of?How do muscles get Stronger?What are the 5 Forms of Stretching?What are the 3 types of Muscle Contraction?What are the different forms of Range of Motion at the Joints?How does Gravity impact Movement?How do Muscles work together in groups?Is tension in the body always a bad thing?What is functional Movement?What are the "Missing Pieces" of yoga practice?How can I best support my students Motor Learning?How does the study of Muscle Physiology prepare me to learn the names of the muscles? Each topic is explored through an educational lecture that incorporates slides and video. The concepts that were covered in the lecture are then demonstrated in a practice video where you can follow along to feel these concepts in your own body. One of the greatest benefits of studying Anatomy online is that you can go back and review the topics as many times as you like. This really helps to absorb the information and to become comfortable with this new language.     I created this course because I love teaching Yoga + Anatomy and I want other yoga teachers to have a solid understanding of the body that guides the way they teach.  When we feel confident in our knowledge that shines through to our students! I hope you will join me on this journey to creating a generation of confident, well-educated & effective Yoga Teachers! Questions? Contact me through Udemy & I will get back to you as soon as possible!...
