127: Anatomy & Physiology
© 2013 |
|
This series provides a comprehensive overview of human anatomy. Each of the ten programs focuses on one body system and includes brief descriptions of how on each system interacts with or impacts others. The information is presented in a logical as well as entertaining format, with clear descriptions and explanations reinforced by full color animated graphics. Comparisons using common experiences and everyday objects assist the learner in remembering the information presented. This series is appropriate for nursing and other healthcare related training programs as well as high school and lower division college science departments. Wide-screen format.

Schools: Entry level healthcare training, nursing, respiratory therapy, physical and occupational therapy. Also high school science; community college general science.
Healthcare Facilities: CNA/HHA training |
