La anatomía es la ciencia que estudia la forma, ubicación y relaciones de las estructuras del cuerpo. Este curso en línea tiene como objetivo enseñar las principales características anatómicas del cuerpo humano desde la perspectiva médica.
A través de casos clínicos basados en hechos reales y en personajes históricos, se espera que los estudiantes conozcan la organización anatómica general del cuerpo humano, las principales regiones corporales y cómo los diferentes sistemas se organizan y relacionan en estos. Adicionalmente, el curso de medicina busca que los estudiantes que participen conozcan las bases anatómicas de algunos procedimientos que se usan en primeros auxilios y las técnicas para aplicarlos correctamente con el fin de salvar vidas.
La bomba de la maratón de Boston, la causa de la muerte de Napoleón Bonaparte, la maniobra de Heimlich para ayudar a personas que se están asfixiando y otros interesantes temas, serán repasados en éste curso.
Adicionalmente, quienes quieran certificarse, tendrán acceso a material interactivo con técnicas avanzadas como una cricotiroidotomía de urgencia o una ultrasonografía enfocada en trauma (FAST).
Por tanto, en este curso de anatomía humana aprenderás los conceptos anatómicos básicos que te permitirán ayudar a entender cómo se puede ayudar a una persona que se encuentra en una situación de emergencia y comprenderás mejor algunas enfermedades y sus tratamientos.

Advanced Neurobiology I (Coursera)

Hello everyone! Welcome to advanced neurobiology! Neuroscience is a wonderful branch of science on how our brain perceives the external world, how our brain thinks, how our brain responds to the outside of the world, and how during disease or aging the neuronal connections deteriorate. We’re trying to understand the molecular, cellular nature and the circuitry arrangement of how nervous system works.

Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems (edX)

Gain insight into the complexities of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and how gases and nutrients are regulated in healthy humans. The human body is an amalgamation of specialised and complex systems. Normal, healthy body functions rely on a symphony of these systems, dynamically working in concert to keep us in a stable homeostatic state. This course begins by examining the unconscious regulation of body systems by the autonomic nervous system, helping us respond when homeostasis is challenged.
