91400 Human Anatomy and Physiology
6cp; 11 x 2hpw lectures, 9 x 3hpw practicals, one self-study moduleDescription
In this subject, students gain knowledge of the human body, which puts them in good standing for biomedical-oriented subjects in subsequent years. Students learn the anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of the healthy human body. Lectures complement a supportive practical program with a mix of on-campus hands-on activities and a self-paced online module. The subject content includes the anatomical organisation of the body and anatomical terms; the basic tissue types found in the human body; the gross anatomy of the cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, haematological, integumentary (skin), musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, and urinary systems; fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Presentation, library research, and report writing skills are also developed.
