About the course
Aim
Knowledge and understandingAfter completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Describe the central tissues and organ systems of the human body as well as their function and interaction
- Describe the structure, physiology and regulation of the major organ systems of the body, such as the circulatory system, kidneys, respiratory system, digestive tract and musculoskeletal system
- Describe the most important nutrients and how these are absorbed and used in the body
Skills and abilitiesAfter completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Identify tissues and cell types in histological samples
- Apply laboratory methodology pertaining to physiological and biochemical measurement methods used in molecular biology
- Independently collect, delimit and critically process scientific material from an academic, ethical and social perspective.
Judgement ability and approachAfter completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Critically appraise and evaluate knowledge within the field of medical physiology from an academic, ethical and social perspective.
- Evaluate the impact of environmental factors on cell and tissue homoeostasis.
Content
During the course, the student will study basic human physiology from a medical perspective. The organisation and function of the human body is introduced with a focus on organ systems and tissues. The term ‘homoeostasis’ is used to describe the normal functioning of the body and how abnormalities can result in disease. During the course, the student will study basic biomedical methodology, with a focus on illustrating physiological processes. During the course, the student will be introduced to histological samples that are representative of the various organ systems. The course prepares the student for more advanced study of systems physiology and neurobiology. The course covers the fields physiology, cell biology, molecular biology, anatomy and histology, which are integrated with biomedical laboratory technology, biomedical ethics and a scientific approach.
