Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is the most prominent under the Cardiovascular diseases. In Switzerland alone, the risk to develop a coronary heart disease during life time is around 25% for [...]

Understanding the Brain: The Neurobiology of Everyday Life (Coursera)

Learn how the nervous system produces behavior, how we use our brain every day, and how neuroscience can explain the common problems afflicting people today. We will study functional human neuroanatomy and neuronal communication, and then use this information to understand how we perceive the outside world, move our [...]

Fundamentals of Neuroscience, Part 1: The Electrical Properties of the Neuron (edX)

Learn how electricity makes the neurons in your brain tick. Fundamentals of Neuroscience is a three-courseseries that explores the structure and function of the nervous system—from the inner workings of a single nerve cell to the staggering complexity of the brain and the social interactions they [...]

Tissue Biology (edX)

Learn how cells work together to perform key body functions. Cells are the fundamental living unit of all organisms and they work harmoniously to help us experience and respond to the world around us. This course builds on the cell physiology content in the Specialized Cells course.

Specialized Cells (edX)

An introduction to cell physiology. Learn how specialized cells perform specific functions. The human body is composed of trillions of cells working together to perform essential body functions. Cells operate in a regulated internal environment, with different types of cells having unique properties suited to their specific functions. In [...]

Human Anatomy and Physiology I (edX)

Examine the structure, function, and interdependence of the human body system. You’ll discover and gain significant knowledge of four of the 11 body systems including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.

Anatomy: Human Neuroanatomy (edX)

Learn about the different parts of the central nervous system and how they work together with the entire body. In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy XSeries, you will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. You will learn about basic neuroanatomy, sensory pathways, motor pathways [...]

Physiology: the Science of Life (FutureLearn)

Get an introduction to human physiology and the amazing systems in our bodies that keep us alive. Physiology is the study of normal function within living things. It examines and explains how organisms, organs and cells carry out the chemical and physical processes that keep us going.
