Series Details

About

Hey, welcome to this series about Human Anatomy and Physiology! In this series I want to cover the basics first and then go into following body systems: The Integumentary System (the skin)✅ The Skeletal System✅ The Muscular System✅ The Nervous System✅ The Cardiovascular System (Heart & blood vessels) ✅ The Respiratory System ✅ The Digestive System ✅ The Lymphatic System (Immunity) ✅ The Endocrine System ✅ The Urinary System ✅ As you can see there's a lot to cover! So it will take a long time to teach all of these. I am going to go into depth for each one of these systems. Prerequisites: High school level biology completed or another class of similar level. Also high school level chemistry or another class of similar level is recommended but not needed * More sessions will be added

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken this course and have been teaching it for a while.

About the Tutor

Hey!! My name is Nitya. I’m a rising senior in California. My hobbies are reading manga/manhwa, playing video games, and spending time with family. I like learning new things about anything, especially biology and astronomy-related! Hope to see you around SHW! 💖💫 They ask me why I teach, and I reply, "Where else could I find more splendid company?" - Glennice L. Harmon
