Thursday, March 19 @ 6 pm - Urinary System
Dive into the fascinating world of the urinary system, where you'll discover how this vital system filters blood to eliminate waste and excess substances, producing urine in the kidneys. The urine then travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until it is excreted through the urethra. Join us as we explore the intricate structure and functions of this essential system, while also examining common disorders that can impact its health.
Thursday, April 9 @ 6 pm Nervous System
Discover the intricacies of the nervous system, a sophisticated network that orchestrates and regulates bodily functions by transmitting signals among the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This system is essential for processing sensory information, managing responses, and ensuring homeostasis throughout the body. Together, we'll explore its structure and functions while applying our insights to common disorders that impact the nervous system.
Thursday, May 21 @ 6 pm - Endocrine System
Dive into the endocrine system, a complex network of glands that produce and release hormones essential for regulating key bodily functions like metabolism, growth, and mood. By secreting these chemical messengers directly into the bloodstream, the endocrine system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and coordinating intricate processes throughout the body. Together, we’ll explore its structure and functions while also examining common disorders that impact this vital system.
Thursday, June 18 @ 6 pm - Digestive System
Embark on a journey through the digestive system, a sophisticated network of organs that transforms food into vital nutrients absorbed into the bloodstream to fuel and sustain the body. This intricate system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory organs, all collaborating to ensure efficient digestion and waste elimination. Together, we’ll explore its structure and functions while also applying our insights to common disorders that impact this essential system.
Thursday, July 16 @ 6 pm - Immune and Lymphatic System
Discover how the immune and lymphatic systems collaborate to safeguard the body against infections and diseases by identifying and eliminating harmful pathogens. The lymphatic system transports lymph - a fluid rich in infection-fighting white blood cells - through a vast network of vessels and lymph nodes, while the immune system orchestrates a robust defense against invaders, promoting overall health and resilience. Together, we’ll delve into their structure and functions, as well as examine common disorders that affect these vital systems.
Thursday, August 13 @ 6 pm - Reproductive System
Uncover the fascinating intricacies of the reproductive system, a complex network responsible for producing gametes - sperm in males and eggs in females - and governing the essential processes of reproduction and development. This dynamic system, featuring key structures like the ovaries, testes, uterus, and prostate, plays a vital role in sustaining life through hormonal regulation that influences numerous bodily functions. This exploration will not only delve into its remarkable structure and functions but also apply our insights to understand common disorders that can impact reproductive health.
Thursday, September 17 @ 6 pm - Respiratory System
The respiratory system is a fascinating network that orchestrates the vital exchange of gasses, ensuring our bodies receive the oxygen they need while efficiently expelling carbon dioxide. This captivating journey will unravel the complexities of its structures - like the lungs, trachea, and bronchi - and illuminate how they work together to sustain life, alongside an exploration of intriguing disorders that can disrupt respiratory function.
Thursday, October 15 @ 6 pm - Skeletal System
