Anatomy and Physiology 1 DNSG 1303

Course description:

This course designed to provide students with a specific study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include anatomical terms and position, cellular structure, and tissue types and characteristics. Musculoskeletal system Also the circulatory system (heart, and vessels), the lymphatic and immunological system, the respiratory system, the digestive system and metabolism, The renal system and balance of fluids and electrolytes, and both male and female reproductive systems will be included in this course. Human development since fertilization until the complete formation of body organs will be presented in this course.

Course Aims:

The goal of this course is to provide the students with understand of how the body works, and body different tissues and organs and systems so that students can understand what happens when it is ill or injured, and what we can do about it. To acquire students with skills in applying some diseased, tests of different systems and interpreting the results of those tests. 

Course outcomes:

A the end of this course, the student should be able to:
  • Demonstrate an in depth understanding of principle of anatomy and physiology and their interrelationships.
  • Describe the changes in bodily function through the life span
  • Describe the components of blood and the function of each component in respiration, defense (immunity), and homeostasis.
  • Describe the parts of cardiovascular system and their role in distribution and drainage of blood to and from different systems in the body. 
  • Determine the role of respiratory organs 
  • Determine the role of every organ in GIT in different functions of digestive system. 
  • Describe the different mechanisms of formation of urine such as filtration, reabsorption and secretion in the functional unit of kidneys (Nephron).
  • Differentiate between male and female reproductive systems structure and their role in formation of gametes and preparation for fertilization and &reproduction.
