Course Description

This course will teach you how to identify the organs in your abdomen. It will also introduce you to common terminology.

The anterior (or front) abdominal wall will be examined. This will allow you to see how the abs are viewed in relation to beauty and health. Then, you'll examine the composition of your gastrointestinal tract. An abdominal surgeon will talk about how he treats and cures common problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
