Anatomy: The Wonder of You

Did you know that every second, your body produces 25 million new cells? That means in 15 seconds, you will have produced more cells than there are people in the United States.
 
Did you know that there is anywhere between 60,000-100,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body? If they were taken out and laid end-to-end, they would be long enough to travel around the world more than three times.
 
In this class, we will learn how to identify and name various anatomical parts of the human body including the skeleton, major veins and arteries, major muscles, and their function. At the conclusion of the course, we will compare human anatomy with the anatomy of a fetal pig in a dissection.
