General Objectives

 

This module is designed to provide the basic concepts and principle of anatomy and physiology which can be applied in practice in various clinical settings. It will also help the students to understand the normal parts of living organism that deals with the study of bodily structure and the relationship of one part to another, normal systemic function of the body, nature of the disease process and its effect on normal body function. This module will help students to acquire knowledge about organization of the body and describe the normal characteristics, structure, and function of cells, tissues, organs and systems. This module will cover the following systems: integument, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, blood and lymphatic, respiratory, endocrine, nervous and  special  senses,  alimentary  and  metabolism,  excretory,  reproductive  system.  Laboratory practice  will  be  included  to  increase  students’  comprehension  in  structure  and  functions  of selected body systems.

 

 

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the module the students will be able to:

  1. Define anatomy and physiology
  2. Describe the history of human anatomy
  3. Explain human body, structure and physiology of cell, tissues, anatomical terms membrane and glands
  4. Define and discuss homeostasis, body fluids, survival needs of the body
  5. Distinguish between mitosis and meiosis in cell division
  6. List common terminology of illness
  7. Describe the structure and functions of the systems of the human body
  8. Identify models of different part of human body
  9. Demonstrate different physiological methods related to clinical practice
