The Human Body Part 2 – Other Systems
This course is the second offering in the two-part series: The Human Body. Both EMTs and paramedics must understand anatomy and physiology to varying degrees. Using accurate medical terminology is an absolute requirement in every verbal or written report. Furthermore, forming an impression on a patient requires an understanding of the body systems and processes that are affected by disease or traumatic injury. This series applies anatomy and physiology concepts in a way that EMTs and paramedics should find both insightful and useful. Part 1 of the series examined the structure, function, and common problems of the critical body systems, which included the circulatory system, respiratory system, and nervous system. It explored anatomy and physiology from a historic perspective, and addressed the medical terminology used to describe basic anatomical landmarks. Part 2 of the series reviews the structure, function and common problems of the other body systems, which include the musculoskeletal, integumentary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and endocrine systems. Medical terminology from Part 1 is reviewed.
