Physiological Processes and the Human Body

This module will review the biological processes of the human body.  The body’s control systems must work together in order for a human to survive.  This module will explore the body’s circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems, as well as its nervous and endocrine systems.

In addition, you will discover the body’s ability to evaluate sensory input, and you will learn the anatomy of sensory organs.  Also, this module will provide an in-depth study of human reproduction, sex, and sexuality.  A person’s sexuality includes the structure and function of the sex organs, sexual behavior, and the ways in which culture influences sexual behavior.
