Distance Learning – Introduction to Human Biology – Tutor Support Available

  • study human anatomical structures
  • understand physiology in human systems
  • essential knowledge in so many industries – education, science, health care, fitness and exercise, nutrition and weight loss, alternative medicine
  • introductory course allows for learning at your own level – just do the basics or challenge yourself or study to a level your comfortable with

This course naturally progresses onto Anatomy II and Physiology II and is a pre-requisite for both.
