What is Anatomy & Physiology?

Anatomy & Physiology – commonly called A&P – is the study of the structure of the human body and the function of these structures.

The knowledge gained in this course is essential for EMS providers as it gives you a valuable understanding of how the human body functions when it is healthy and how diseases, injuries, and other ailments can affect those functions.
