SHUA11004U Human Anatomy and Systems Physiology
The anatomical part of the course includes histology. When
completing the course, students shall be able to explain the
structure and function of tissue, including descriptions of cell
types and cellular structures by microscopy. Furthermore, the
course comprises body anatomy including description of organs and
embryology, describing the dynamic development of the body's
structures as well as developmental defects.
Furthermore, it is the objective of the course
to impart the student knowledge of important
physiological concepts and interactions that will enable studies in
the fields of pathophysiology and pharmacology at the masters
level.
At the end of the course, the student is able to:
- Account for various cell types
- Explain and discuss the composition of specific tissue types such as epithelial, muscle, connective tissue and similar.
- Explain and compare the anatomy of viscera, skin and reproductive organs
- Explain and discuss the macroscopic skeleton and the neuromuscular system
- Explain embryology
- Explain and compare the structures of the nervous system, neurones, glial cells, etc.
- Account for the central nervous system
- Explain the concept of physiological homeostasis
- Explain and discuss general qualitative models for physiological control systems
- Employ such models as analytical tools to explain and compare the function of major physiological systems, including the circulatory and respiratory systems, the gastrointestinal system, the kidneys, the metabolism and the endocrine glands
- Explain and discuss general principles of cellular communication, including the importance of various forms of signal molecules, cellular receptors and intracellular events leading to impulse generation, muscle contraction or transport of matter, e.g. internal and external secretion
- Explain selected classical examples of pathophysiological mechanisms
- Provide classical examples of the mode of action of pharmaceuticals
