Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
1.
Describe how cell, tissue, organ and system relationships relate to skeletal, joint, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems
2.
Identify gross anatomical structures on plastic models and images and diagrams
3.
Relate the anatomical structure with basic physiology and function of each body system
4.
Communicate in written form the relationship between anatomical structure and function
5.
Students will observe EMG (Electromyography), blood pressure, ECG (Electrocardiogram) and lung function (spirometry) testing during practical classes and have an understanding of the physiology behind each of the tests
