Objective

Students will learn the structure, function and terminology pertaining to central body systems. They will learn where the organs are located and know how the function of body systems maintains health. The studies will help them understand aging and the changes brought on by old age. Students will also study the role of microbes in health and pathology and gain a foundation for the study of infectious diseases, their treatment and asepsis in elderly care.
