This is a second-year course and runs at the same time as first-semester courses with Human Anatomy I (NSC 205). This part will cover the gross anatomy, embryology, and histology of the kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, and male and female urethra. The gross anatomy and clinical relevance of endocrine organs such as pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, gonads and adrenal glands. Caring for patients always requires a sound understanding of the normal structure of the body organs to know what could be wrong and how such manifests.

Basic assessments were done before planning general and nursing care usually considers the various organs that function within systems and as interrelated systems. You will be required to be able to describe these organs and discuss their clinical correlates to the knowledge of the body parts. You will enjoy drawing and labeling, as well as seeing some of these organs in real life.
