Outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • explain cell - and the structure and function of tissue types
  • identify and describe the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system
  • describe the structure and function of the nervous system and the sensory system
  • account for endocrine system's structure that is linked to the functions of the musculoskeletal and nervous system
  • describe the position of bodies in relation to one another and the body as a whole.

Content

The course starts with an overview of basic biochemical concepts in order to facilitate the further understanding of the function of the body based on on scientific grounds.

The student is trained to understand and apply basic anatomic concepts and terminology. The course also treats adequate medical terminology used in anatomic position and motion descriptions.

The course takes its starting point in the structure and basic functions of the cell. Under the theme the musculoskeletal system is studied the different parts, the structure and function, and the subdivision and motion of joints of the skeleton. Here, the structure of the skeletal musculature and the structure and function of the muscle cells are also studied.

Under the theme the nervous system, an overview of the central and peripheral nervous system and how these interact with one another is made . Within sensory system, pain, smell, taste, hearing, balance and the approach are studied.

The endocrine system deals with glands and hormones that are linked to the musculoskeletal system and nervous system.

Teaching methods

The course includes lectures and workshops.

The examiner decides whether, and if so, how absence from compulsory educational elements can be taken again. Study results cannot be reported until the student has participated in compulsory course elements or compensated for any absence in accordance with instructions from the examiner. Absence from a compulsory course element could mean that the student can not retake the element until the next time the course is offered.

Examination

To pass the course, approved participation in compulsory parts and a passed written examination.

Other directives

Course evaluation will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee for Higher Education.
