Unit Code: PBH505

Unit Name: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

Description: This course will enable the student to understand the structures that make up the human body systems and the basic principles of how they functions on both the micro and macro level. The course will include the study of the structure and function of the human biology including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. A sound knowledge in anatomy and physiology helps the students or health workers in decision making when working in the hospital, or in the field. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintain homeostasis. We will be using a wide variety of print and web-based resources along with some hands-on learning activities and labs utilizing models and specimens to investigate the structures and functions of the human body systems. EVH and PH students who will be taking this course will actually benefit, as this course will lead to EVH507 titled Prevention and Control of Diseases.
