Unit Code: PBH505

Unit Name: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

Description: This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of the human body. It explores the organization of the body from the cellular and tissue levels to the major organ systems, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding how these systems work individually and together to maintain homeostasis. You will gain foundational knowledge of anatomical terminology, physiological mechanisms, and the relationships between structure and function. The course prepares you for advanced study in other related fields.

Learning Target Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1: Define Anatomy and physiology and it’s the structural organization. 2: Explain the levels of structural organization in the human body, from chemical and cellular levels to tissues, organ systems, and the organism as a whole. 3: Identify the basic structures and functions of the major organ systems of the human body, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. 4: Describe the basic structures and functions of the major organ systems of the human body, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
