Overview

Key facts

Two major body systems related to fluids and transportation will be explored in detail: the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems. Course material will cover both the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of each system with direct application to human development and disease.

After completing this Anatomy and Physiology - Fluids, Transport and Defense course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University, you will be able to:

Identify the major parts of the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems;
Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems;
Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the cardiovascular and lymphatic/immune systems.
