Why do we shiver when we’re cold? What causes that familiar sensation known as “heartburn,” which has nothing to do with our hearts? How do different types of anesthesia prevent us from feeling pain? Who are you if you receive a brain transplant?
This course answers these questions and many more as Professor Anthony Goodman, M.D., F.A.C.S. (Montana State University) explores the structure and function of the human body—its anatomy and physiology—in 32 intensively illustrated lectures.
Some of the systems covered include the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, endocrine, urinary, male and female reproductive, musculoskeletal, and immune systems.
