through screencasts and to have you do activities to help you make sense of the material and connect it
to your experiences. I try to limit the screencasts to about 10 minutes in length
The course description includes the nervous system, skeletomuscular system, cardiovascular system
respiratory system and renal system as core pieces of content. I have included a couple of introductory
sections as well on physiology, homeostasis and some cellular functions that are necessary to better
appreciate how these body systems function. As organisms, we are able to sense elements of our
environment (both internal and external), process that information (integrate), and then respond
appropriately to that information. Our organ systems, organs and cells perform these same functions
(sensation, integration and response) so that we can function as a coordinated whole. When our
external environment
this process is termed homeostasis
The text is pretty concise in explaining content and the figures are excellent for demonstrating how
match up pretty well
