Medical Assisting Theory I

A description of anatomical descriptors and cells introduces students to and provides an overview of the body’s systems. The structure and function of the nervous, sensory, integumentary, muscular, skeletal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems are taught, along with the related diseases. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate a basic working knowledge of these body systems. This is a CORE course for Medical Assisting and is offered exclusively during the Fall semester.
