Last Date of Approval: Spring 2022
3 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 45
Total Lab Hours: 0
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 0
Course Description:
This course explores the anatomy, physiology, and pathology relevant to the clinical practice of medical assistants. Students will gain knowledge of the structural organization of the human body by body system. The normal functions and major organs of the integumentary, musculoskeletal, and respiratory systems are reviewed. Common pathology related to each system is identified, including etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic measures, and treatment modalities. The medical assistant’s role in assisting with exams, assessments, and procedures is identified relevant to each body system. This course will also help students gain critical thinking skills which are essential to making important life, health, and career decisions. This course is the first course of a two-semester sequence. Additional body systems are studied in MAP 555 Human Body in Health & Disease II .
