Chapter 1: to Human Anatomy and Physiology

This chapter introduces the basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology. It discusses the different levels of organization of the human body, from the cellular level to the organismal level. It also introduces the four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

• Levels of organization of the human body:
  • Cellular level
  • Tissue level
  • Organ level
  • System level
  • Organismal level
• Four main tissue types:
  • Epithelial tissue
  • Connective tissue
  • Muscle tissue
  • Nervous tissue

Chapter 2: The Skeletal System

This chapter covers the structure and function of the human skeletal system. It discusses the different types of bones, their functions, and how they are connected to each other. It also introduces the major joints of the body and their range of motion.

• Types of bones:
  • Long bones
  • Short bones
  • Flat bones
  • Irregular bones
• Functions of bones:
  • Support
  • Protection

Chapter 4: The Nervous System

This chapter covers the structure and function of the human nervous system. It discusses the different parts of the nervous system, their functions, and how they communicate with each other. It also introduces the major neurotransmitters and their roles in the nervous system.

• Parts of the nervous system:
  • Central nervous system
  • Peripheral nervous system
• Functions of the nervous system:
  • Sensory input
  • Motor output
  • Cognitive processing
• Major neurotransmitters:
  • Acetylcholine (Ach)
  • Dopamine (DA)
  • Epinephrine (Epi)
  • GABA
