Course Overview
The second of two consecutive courses that cover human anatomy and physiology of relevance to the study and practice of radiation therapy. This course consists of a comprehensive study of the following systems: the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, the female reproductive system and the male reproductive system. This course supplements typical considerations of anatomical structure and function with explorations of relational and sectional anatomy to prepare for the diverse imaging modalities encountered in clinical practice.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, the student will be able to:
- Describe the anatomy and physiology as well as the relevant relational and sectional anatomy of the following organ systems:
- Cardiovascular system
- Lymphatic system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Urinary system
- Female reproductive system
- Male reproductive system
- Gain basic proficiency in the study and use of sectional anatomy, including how to visualize 2D sections of the body along the three cardinal body planes, and how to view and interpret 2D sections of the body that are represented using various imaging modalities (ex. CT, MRI).
- Relate and apply an understanding of anatomical and physiological principles to radiation therapy practice.
