Republic Polytechnic Continuing Education & Training Course Structure: Anatomy & Physiology Module Anatomy and Physiology Description This module introduces the basic human anatomical organization, tissue structure and development. The topics include the musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding how structures are adapted for the functions they perform. In examining these issues, one will acquire a basic and broad understanding of the structures and functions of the components of each of the following systems in the human body and develop a basic understanding of how the organ systems are coordinated for the maintenance of homeostasis and work together as an integrated whole.
