Human Physiology Course
What will I learn?
Open up the knowledge about how the body works after someone dies with our Human Physiology Course, made specially for people who do autopsies and want to get better at their forensic work. You'll go deep into understanding rigor mortis (stiffness), algor mortis (cooling), and livor mortis (blood settling), and learn how to make a good guess of when someone died. We'll look at the body's systems that cause these changes and how important they are for forensic investigations. This short, but good, course gives you the real skills to handle problems and do well in autopsy work.
