• Life Fitness AnatomyHave you ever wanted to deeply understand the inner workings of your body… organs, cells and all of the parts that make up your miraculous life experience?In this in depth, 24hr course being taught in eight 3 hour live classes, Patty Lager will give you a completely new understanding of your anatomy from a living, holistic fitness perspective.Some highlights of what will be covered:A detailed inside view of the detoxing mechanisms of your body.A step-by-step flow of how nutrients get digested, absorbed and utilized.Everything you need to know about your immune system.How all the organs, cells, central nervous system and parts of your body work holistically together.The eight live classes will be held on Zoom at the following times and days:October 15th: 6-9 pm ESTOctober 22nd: 6-9 pm ESTOctober 29th: 6-9 pm ESTNovember 05th: 6-9pm ESTNovember 12th: 6-9 pm ESTNovember 19th: 6-9 pm ESTNovember 26th: OFF For ThanksgivingDecember 03rd: 6-9 pm ESTDecember 10th: 6-9 pm ESTLife Fitness Anatomy Course OutlineWEEK 01:Intro to Human A&P/ Homeostasis• Review of the 11 major organ systems: the major organs of each organ system will be introduced along with the primary functions of each organ system.• Review of anatomical terms: the language of anatomy will be introduced, including anatomical regions and directional terms.• Homeostasis and negative feedback: homeostasis is a major theme throughout human anatomy and physiology.
• Both temperature regulation and blood-glucose regulation will be used as examples of how the body maintains a stable internal environment.• Positive feedback and childbirth: when positive feedback occurs in the body, it is often associated with dangerous consequences.
• However, there a re a few healthy examples of positive feedback (like childbirth) that are quite natural.Chemistry• Atomic structure: the electrons, neutrons, and protos will be discussed• Bond formation: examples of ionic and covalent bonding will be discussed• Chemical reactions (e.g., redox, anabolic, catabolic): to understand digestion, one must understand how chemical bonds are broken (catabolic).
• To understand how nutrients are used in the body, one must also understand synthesis (anabolic) and REDOX reactions.• Biological molecules: Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids will be explored in detail• The importance of water will be thoroughly reviewedWEEK 02:Cell Anatomy• Cell structure: A review of the cell membrane (including how nutrients enter/ waste products leave the cell) and all major organelles• Cellular respiration: An in-depth review of how cells convert food into energy• Protein synthesis: learn how proteins are synthesized from amino acids inside of the cellMetabolism• Roles of various nutrients (glucose, fatty acids) in energy production, as well as a discussion of glycemic index/load• Review the major vitamins and minerals needed for metabolic activities• Energy storage (learn the metabolic pathways that result in the conversions of glucose into fats)• A review of the major hormones that affect metabolic activities, including nutrient storage and breakdownWEEK 03:Cardiovascular System• Learn the anatomy of the heart, including the major heart chambers and valves• Describe the blood flow through the heart• Describe how the body regulates heart rate, blood flow, blood pressure to accommodate the changes in bodily function• Review of capillary exchange: describe how nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the body’s tissues and the blood• Learn the diagnostic values of ECGs and Blood Pressure• Cardiac Cycle: review the major events during one single heartbeat• A review of blood lab work (important measurements to make note of, and what they mean)WEEK 04:Endocrine and Nervous Systems• Major endocrine glands and their hormones: you will be provided with a chart that will e filled in during this class.
• This chart will list all the major endocrine glands, their hormones, and the target tissues of these hormones• Stress response: a review of how both the nervous systems and certain hormones work to prepare the body for a stressful scenario.
