Build real anatomy & physiology skills with a free online course—videos + quick exercises to boost exam prep, confidence, and healthcare readiness.

In this free course, learn about

  • Urinary system anatomy/physiology and its key functions (waste removal, fluid/electrolyte balance)
  • Vision system anatomy and protective role of eyebrows in shielding eyes from sweat/debris
  • Blood anatomy/physiology: components and the term for red blood cells (erythrocytes)
  • Embryological fetal development: major stages and what happens after fertilization (zygote formation/cleavage)
  • Blood vessels anatomy/physiology and main types: arteries, veins, capillaries
  • Axial skeleton overview and the hyoid bone’s unique feature (only bone not articulating with others)
  • Tissue types with focus on what defines connective tissue (cells + extracellular matrix)
  • Alcohol effects/dangers and liver ethanol metabolism, including alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)
  • Joint anatomy and classification; define synarthrosis (immovable joint)
  • Digestive system anatomy/physiology, including the three salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual)
  • Endocrine system basics and insulin’s primary role (lowering blood glucose via uptake/storage)
  • Female and male reproductive anatomy: vulva vs vagina confusion; scrotum function in temperature control
  • Hearing anatomy and ceruminous glands’ role (produce earwax to protect/lubricate ear canal)
  • Muscle and nervous system essentials: muscle tissue types; oligodendrocytes myelinate CNS axons

About the free online course

Strengthen your understanding of how the human body is built and how it works with this free online course in anatomy and physiology. Designed for learners who want clear explanations without the overwhelm, it uses short, focused video lessons paired with quick check-in exercises to help you remember core concepts and apply them with confidence. Whether you are preparing for exams, returning to study after a break, or exploring health careers, you will build a solid foundation that supports further learning.

Across multiple body systems, you will connect structures to functions and learn the language used in health and science settings. You will explore key ideas behind the urinary and digestive systems, endocrine regulation, metabolism and nutrition, and the essentials of blood, blood vessels, tissues, and joints. You will also deepen your understanding of sensory anatomy through vision and hearing, and see how protective features like skin and its associated structures contribute to overall homeostasis. The course also addresses fetal development and reproductive anatomy, helping you understand major milestones and the purpose of different organs without confusing terminology.

The lessons are built to make complex topics easier to follow: each video reinforces the big picture, while the short exercises help you practice recalling definitions, functions, and distinctions that commonly appear in quizzes and entry-level healthcare training. By the end, you should be able to explain major systems in a simple, organized way, recognize important anatomical terms, and describe how the nervous system and muscular system contribute to movement and control. You will come away with a practical framework you can use in further study, clinical conversations, or personal understanding of health.

It was a great course, but I had difficulty seeing the video as it was too small, so I increased the size by zooming out. Now I know what to do...!
