Anatomy & Physiology 1 Lab BIPH 2109

Course description:

This course is offered face-to-face (laboratory) in a laboratory setting. This course provides an introduction to the structure and function of the human body. It begins with an orientation to the body and then covers the functions of a generalized cell - the atoms and molecules that make up organic molecules, tissues, organs, organ systems as well as the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. We use videos, CDs, Charts, Slides, models, etc.….  

Course Aims:

  • To clarify the unique role of each organ and organ system in maintaining health and homeostasis such as (Skeletal system, Muscular system, Nervous system). 
  • To identify the structure and functions of the distinctive cells that comprises each major organ and when appropriate defines the role of physiological functional unit in each organ.
  • To analyze and justify the responses of different organs to the internal and external changes of human body. 
  • To acquire skills in applying some functional tests of different systems and interpreting the results of those tests.

Course outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:
  • Describe the concept of diffusion and osmosis.
  • Differentiate between different parts of main tissues.
  • Describe the layers of skin 
  • Describe the components of skeletal system: Axial Skeleton, Appendicular Skeleton, Type of bones, Bone markings
  • Explain the concept of agglutination. 
  • Determine the types of cellular junctions.
  • Differentiate between the three different types of muscles by special characteristics for each type.
  • Determine Muscle names, Axial skeletal muscles and Appendicular skeletal muscle
  • Describe the components and function each parts of central nervous system.
