Course/Module description:
• The course is based on 3 lecture hours per week.
The course will focus on understanding the anatomy and physiology of several systems in the body and the interactions between the systems for maintaining homeostasis. Will learn the following topics:
1) Lymphatic system Lymph nodes and organs belonging to the lymph, immune system.
2) Respiratory system: The structure of the lungs, their function under changing operating conditions. Transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
3) Urinary system: the psychology of the kidney.
4) Digestive system excretion and absorption. The sections and organs in the digestive tract. Salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, colon.
Course/Module aims:
Gain knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of 4 major systems in the body:
1) The lymphatic system
2) The respiratory system
3) The excretory system
4) The digestive system
