Description

Objective:

The course objective is to introduce students to the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology that emphasizes some common diseases in relation to the various body systems.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Explain the fundamental anatomical and physiological concepts related to cells, tissues, membranes, the musculoskeletal system, blood and lymph, and the respiratory system
  • Distinguish between the different types of cell transport (osmosis, diffusion and active transport) and different types of solutions, such as hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic concentrations
  • Explain the fundamental biological and physiological concepts that relate to the structure and function of the various body systems covered, such as the structure and function of the skeletal muscles, the types of blood cells and the organs that correlate to the respiratory system
  • Discuss the common diseases associated with each system, including the prognosis and treatments that are associated with deviations from normal structure and function
  • List the various tests and studies that are utilized to evaluate relevant body systems, such as x-rays to evaluate the skeleton and identify fractures, skin biopsy to evaluate skin lesions, or pulmonary function tests used to diagnose various respiratory diseases
  • Use scientific analysis to complete laboratory experiments and quantify the results at the conclusion of the experiments
