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 course, you will be able to:

  1. Identify the major parts of the urinary and reproductive systems;
  2. Describe normal human anatomy structure and function for the urinary and reproductive systems;
  3. Relate anatomical structure and function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and body system levels to clinical diagnoses and dysfunction of the urinary system; and
  4. Explain the process of typical human gestation and delivery.

This course is part of the Human Anatomy & Physiology II Specialization.
