Introduction

An introduction to human anatomy and physiology. Anatomical terminology and the importance of a stable homeostatic environment.

Content

Anatomical terminology. The importance of a stable homeostatic environment. Cells, structure and function. Histology. The integumentary system. The nervous system. The special senses. Body temperature regulation, The endocrine system. The skeletal and muscular systems. The cardiovascular system. The respiratory system. The urinary system. The male and female reproductive systems. Heredity.

Learning outcome

After having completed the course the student should have an important basic knowledge regarding human anatomy and physiology, and how this knowledge can be useful when one is considering biomedical issues. Knowledge regarding the organ’s and body’s anatomical structures and their fysiological and biochemical prosesses, so the body can function as one unit.

  • understanding the anatomical terminology
  • understanding the structure and function of cells and tissues
  • state the principles of homeostasis within and between tissues, organs and bodyfunctions
  • understand the composition and functions of blood.
  • know the structure and function of the heart, cardiovascular and respiratory system.
  • know the principles of acid-base balance, immune system and temperature-regulation of the human body.
  • have an understanding of the human nervous system and special senses
  • understand the priciples concerning endocrinology
  • understand the principles concerning digestion, nutrition and the urinary system
  • know the structure and function of bones, joints, skeletal and musculary system
  • Male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology, human development and heredity

Course assessment

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
