Course content
This course will give an introduction to human anatomy and physiology by focusing on organ structure, function(s) and regulatory principles. The main subjects will cover: respiration, circulation, metabolism, endocrinology, neurology, senses, digestion, immunity, regulation of extracellular fluid and urine formation. The links between each of these systems will be discussed and how each of these systems respond to challenges such as disease and stress.
Learning outcome
On completion of the course the students should have good knowledge of general principles within human anatomy, physiology and regulatory mechanisms and apply this knowledge in a broader context to their own speciality.
To understand how the human body functions and how this information can be applied to specific careers, the student should obtain knowledge about:
- Human organ anatomy, physiology and regulatory mechanisms.
- How humans can cope with challenges such as disease and stress.
- Equipment and methods for studying human anatomy and physiology.
The student should apply, interpret and communicate this knowledge using their own ideas, which should result in the following skills:
- Operate relevant equipment and conduct experiments demonstrating human anatomy and physiology.
- Search for and effectively study the relevant literature.
- Analyse and interpret data to write a scientific report.
- Present and discuss orally and in writing anatomical and physiological data.
- Communicate information on human anatomy and physiology.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures: 52 hours.
Laboratory course: 10 hours, mandatory.
Compulsory assignments
- Attendance lab
- Miniquizes
- Lab course
Further on evaluation
The course consists of three assessment parts: written exam (70%) and two lab reports (15% each). All parts must be passed to obtain a final grade in the course.
In case of fail or if you want to improve your grade the written exam can be retaken in both semesters, even the one without teaching. The written exam can be changed to an oral exam in the semester when the course is not taught.
