Description

Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Practical Nursing Program or Sequential Practical Nursing program courses, inclusive of 5 credit hours of anatomy, with a minimum grade of C.
Provides students with fundamental knowledge of the functions of the major body systems. Relates how organized anatomical structures of a particular size, shape, form, or placement are intended to serve unique or specialized functions. With repeated emphasis of this principle, students are encouraged to integrate otherwise isolated factual information into a cohesive and understandable whole. Covers the essentials, places emphasis on concepts, and correlates body structure (anatomy) with function (physiology). Homeostasis is integrated by demonstrating how “normal” interactions of structures and their functions are achieved and maintained by dynamic counterbalancing forces.
