- Aims of the Program
- The Anatomy and Physiological course aim to provide the students the following skills:
- Using anatomical and physiological terminology to all biological medicine studies
- Understanding the details of the fundamental structures and functions of the body
- The Anatomy and Physiological course aim to provide the students the following skills:
- Intended Learning Results and the ways in which they are met and shown:
- Knowledge and understanding
- When the course is completed, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate understanding of the basic aspects of anatomy and physiology
- Strengthen their understanding by reading more in-depth literature
- Having a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the body (organs and organ systems)
- Study blood tests, comprehend the outcomes, and apply them to the different physiological systems
- Students will have knowledge and understanding of the following:
- The body’s anatomical structures and their topography
- Every physiological system with its functions and pathology
- Macro and micro scales of anatomy and physiology
- Cognitive / Intellectual skills
- After finishing the course, students will be able to:
- Grasp all the fundamental concepts of anatomy and physiology
- Comprehend and visualize the diagrams and the structures of the body in 3-dimensions
- Understand the organization of living things, and the common characteristics humans have with animals, plants, and bacteria
- Learn the field’s terminology and its correct pronunciation
- Achievement of Learning Outcomes
- The previously mentioned outcomes can be achieved using the following techniques:
- Online Resources
- For an enhanced visual learning, various colors are used in the illustrations
- The anatomical structures are 3-D paintings instead of text
- Understand the various feedback systems—including the effectors, control centers, and receptors—and their function in regulating physiological circumstances
- Quizzes to provide students an opportunity to check their knowledge
- Tutoring
- Every student has access to a tutor whom they can approach and discuss their concerns
- Course assignments
- Before going on to the next phase of the course, the students have the chance to review each assignment
- Structures and requirements for the Program
- There are no required studies for this module.
- This module provides a comprehensive overview of the body systems and their functions in the human body.
- There are 25 assignments in all, each consisting of 10 true/false or multiple-choice questions.
- The grades for each assignment contribute towards the final mark.
- The Final Exam is an online test that is timed. This is a quiz consisting of 60 questions taken from the assignments.
- The final grade is calculated based on the work done in class, as well as the work done on the assignments.
