Unit 1- Organization of the Body

We begin this course by first looking at the basic organization of the human body into cells, tissues, organs and systems.

Your instruction for this unit will be a combination of video lessons, power point presentations, worksheets, and one-on-one discussions with your instructor. Note that it is "smart" to complete the worksheet at the time you actually progress through a lesson and not afterwords. Only after completing the lessons on the Blog should you go to your textbook (provided) or the internet to fill in any missing information on worksheets. Also, while working through your lessons, it is "working smart" to write down the definition of any word that is bold, underlined, or highlighted. For instance, if there are four kinds of tissues in the body, you want to remember what they are, so write them down!

For this unit you will have 2 quizzes, one oral quiz and one on paper.
