KIN 224: Human Anatomy and Physiology II

Discover the unique characteristics of cartilage, its critical roles in the human body, and the reasons behind its slow healing rate. Uncover myths and gain clarity on the essential factors influencing cartilage repair.

Explore what makes each element unique by focusing on the atomic components: protons neutrons and electrons. Learn why the number of protons known as the atomic number is the defining characteristic for each element's properties. Understand how protons set elements apart even as neutrons and electrons also play important roles.

Explore the distinct differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes. Understand their structures, organization, size, and cellular locations. Grasp how these genetic units underscore life's incredible diversity.

Explore the key concepts that might illustrate the unity among all organisms including emergent properties descent with modification and natural selection. Understand why the structure and function of DNA ultimately stand as the best example of this unity

Explore the spectrum of movement in joints, from immovable synarthrotic to freely movable diarthrotic. Understand how these classifications correspond to fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joint types.

Explore the definitions of tissue, organ, and organ system. Understand the distinctions and interconnectedness between these components. Get an overview of the human body's eleven major organ systems and their functions.
