Module Title: Structure and Function of Human Body
Module Code: SFH101
Programme Title: Bachelor of Sports and Health Sciences
Credit Value: 12 credits
Objectives of the Module
This module is designed to provide the basic concepts and principles of human biology, anatomy and physiology which can be applied in various clinical settings. It will help students to understand the normal parts of human body and their relationship with one part to another, nature of the injuries/diseases and their effect on normal body functions.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the module, the student will be able to:
- Understand the human biology and its importance.
- Explain basic concepts of human anatomy & physiology.
- Explain the key terminologies of anatomical positions and physiological functions of the body.
- Describe the structures, functions, types and attachments of the Integument, muscular, skeletal and joint systems.
- Identify key human organs on the models and drawings.
- Map the injuries and illness with specific body parts.
- Manage, treat & rehabilitate minor sports illnesses and injuries at sites.
- Develop the management, treatment and rehabilitation protocols of the illnesses and injuries.
