Building on the foundational knowledge of biology and chemistry you mastered in Part 1 of this microcredential series, this microcredential focuses on human anatomy and physiology. You will understand key systems including muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory. You will also study microbiology, learning the way that viruses and bacteria impact the body.
