Anatomy & Physiology

Program Details

The Anatomy & Physiology program at Mid-America Nursing & Allied-Health Institute is a 4-credit hour (60-clock hour) program focussing on the normal structure and function of the human body, basic chemistry, cellular structure, and principles of microbiology as the science relates to infection and infection control. Through classroom and laboratory experience, this course provides an understanding of the gross structure and normal function of the human body including normal processes of the organ, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic systems. 

Included in this course are principles of basic chemistry and microbiology and medical terminology as it relates to defining human anatomy and its processes. This course provides a solid background for assessing deviations from normal body structure and function caused by illness. The course competencies include:

• List and describe the parts of a typical human cell.
• List and define the directional terms and planes used in describing the body, and the relationship of body parts to one another.
• Define and explain the process of homeostasis. 
• Discuss the structure and function of organic and inorganic chemical compounds.
• Compare and contrast the different types of tissues that make up the human body.
• List and describe the tissues forming the organs of each body system.
• List and describe each organ in each body system.
• Give the exact location of each organ and structure of the body.
• List and explain the general functions of the structures forming each body system.
• Describe some of the disorders associated with each body system.
• Describe the physiology of the organs, tissues, cells, and chemicals of each body system.
• Explain the function of each body system in maintaining homeostasis within the body.

Classes for the Anatomy & Physiology program will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00 am to 1:30 pm for 10 weeks. Upon completion of the 10-week Anatomy & Physiology program, students are awarded a Certificate of Completion.
