Human Anatomy And Physiology 03: Basic Cell Biology

An anatomy and physiology foundations course for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students alike from SWDRD.

What you'll learn

Learn the importance of cells and their vital role in human biology.

Explore various cellular shapes and understand their biological significance.

Understand the size considerations of cells and their impact on function.

Master the principles of microscopy and its application in cell biology.

Grasp the structure and function of the plasma membrane in cells.

Identify the roles of membrane proteins and their functions in the cell.

Comprehend second messengers and their role in cellular communication.

Discover the cellular interior, including organelles like mitochondria and the nucleus.

Requirements

A foundational understanding of basic biology concepts is recommended.

Prior knowledge of basic chemistry principles will enhance comprehension.

Familiarity with basic math skills is needed for calculations in cell biology.

A basic physics background is beneficial for understanding cellular processes.

Basic lab skills, including familiarity with microscopy, will be helpful.

Understanding of scientific terminology will aid in grasping key concepts.

Previous experience with scientific notation and measurement is recommended.

Ability to apply logical reasoning and critical thinking to biological data.

Description

This course is equivalent to a first semester of Human Anatomy & Physiology, more commonly referred to as A&P1. In this course, STEM With Doctor D or SWDRD will be exploring and discussing the basic cell biology needed in human anatomy and physiology. You will be provided with practice problems to test your understanding of the material. Additionally, you will also get access to the lecture notes used in the course.Upon completing this course, we at SWDRD strongly encourage you to continue with the next course, Human Anatomy and Physiology 04: Basic Genetics. We will go over the general genetic principles you need to be familiar with in order to succeed in A&P.While our goal is to go over all of the fundamentals as comprehensively as possible, the onus is still on you to make sure you understand what we've gone over. Play and replay our videos as many times as necessary until the material sticks and never hesitate to ask us any questions. We at SWDRD are here to help you succeed.Prerequisite(s):-Basic biology-Basic chemistry-Basic physics-Basic algebraSuggested material:-Any foundational anatomy textbook-Any foundational physiology textbook-Flash cards!!!(This material will help you in the future especially if you are pursuing a career in the biological and health sciences)If you want to get in contact with Dr D for additional help and resources, you can find him at STEM With Doctor D or SWDRD. Udemy is our home so there will always be new courses for you to benefit from.Get ready to learn with SWDRD. You are in for a treat!!!Best,-Dr D
