Study Notes
- Professor Dave discusses the importance of understanding the human body, which requires background knowledge in physical sciences.
- Everything in the human body is made of tissue, which is made of cells, which are made of biomolecules like proteins and DNA, which are made of atoms.
- The human body is a complex organism, belonging to the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Primates, family Hominidae, and genus Homo.
- The series will focus on understanding the human body through anatomical and physiological perspectives.
- Structural components include tissues, bones, and muscles, while major systems include nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and immune systems.
- The goal is to connect macroscopic knowledge to the microscopic world, allowing for critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the human body.
