Anatomy and Physiology: Cells and Tissues

Hours: 1.00

Course Code: REL-RCC-ANAT-APCT

The human body is a wondrously complex organism, and cells are the basic units it is composed of. In this course, you will learn cell structure and function. You will see where cells fit within the hierarchy of levels into which the body is organized. Then, you will study the principal tissues of the human body. Finally, you will learn about the process of cell division and how cells fuel the activities that keep the body running.

The goal of this course is to provide medical coders with an overview of the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body.
