A103 Anatomy and Physiology Module Synopsis The A103 Anatomy and Physiology module poses triggers that will stimulate the students to appreciate the order by which human body is organized. This module allows students to appreciate the holistic aspects of the human biological systems. It also gives the students a fundamental understanding of how the various systems in the human body function together to maintain balance. Module Objectives Following are the content related abilities strengthened by the curricular processes of the module: Structure of the Human Body Students will be able to: Identify the major components of the human body Recognize the location of the different parts in the body Recognize that the basic anatomical make up of the human body is the cell, which forms the tissues and organs. Appreciate how the individual cells and organs are separated by membranes Understand the major divisions of the skeletal system Locate the three different muscles (skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle) in the body and appreciate the difference in their structures Name the various divisions of the nervous system (central and peripheral nervous system) and appreciate the structures (neurons) that make up the nervous system Classify the different glands (exocrine and endocrine glands) in the body; identify the various endocrine glands and explain the difference between steroid and non-steroid hormones Identify the components of the conducting passages of the respiratory system (ribs, intercostal muscles, lungs, diaphragm, bronchus, alveoli) Understand the different sections of the digestive system and identify the organs found at different sections. Appreciate the general structure of the digestive system and the 4 layers of tissue that makes up the digestive tract. Appreciate the major components of the cardiovascular system; Classify blood vessels based on their structure; Acknowledge how blood is used as a transport for nutrients and gases Examine the difference between the lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system and appreciate how these two system are connected; Identify the different fluid compartments in the body Strictly Confidential. For Articulation Purpose Only. Identify the different components that makes up the urinary system, and their locations Appreciate surface anatomy, it’s uses and descriptions; Be able to identify important body landmarks. Function of the Human Body Students will be able to: Relate the different components of the human body to their respective functions Understand the role of the different components of human body Appreciate how each part of the body works to sustain the body Recognize which of the different components are involved to achieve a function specific function. (Example: Bone and muscles work together to obtain movement) Appreciate how the various components work together to maintain balance (Example: Endocrine organs and the nerves would regulate the body’s processes to maintain homeostasis) Appreciate the different processes in the bone development and how the bone contributes to the development of blood and serves to protect the vital organs in the body. Understand the processes of muscle contraction and how it can lead to movement Describe how the divisions of the nervous system work together and appreciate the cascade of signal transmission (receptor processor effector); explain how the nervous system is involved in moving the different parts of the body. Appreciate how the hormones act as a chemical signals and causing a series of reactions or activating another endocrine gland to produce another hormone Appreciate the mechanics of the ventilation system; how gaseous exchange occurs and its importance in sustaining life Appreciate how the different parts of the digestive system break down different nutrients (carbohydrate, fat, protein); Examine how food are being broken down; Explain how the broken down materials are absorbed and eliminated Explain how blood carries the nutrients and gases and circulates them around the body, and the vital role of blood and the cardiovascular system in maintaining homeostasis; Appreciate the cardiac cycle and heart rate Appreciate the movement of fluids in the body between cardiovascular system and lymphatic system; and explain the importance of fluid balance Explain how the urinary system is involved in fluid and salt balance. Apply how hormones from the endocrine glands are involved in regulating the salt and water balance in the body Strictly Confidential. For Articulation Purpose Only. Appreciate the use of surface anatomy to locate and identify key body landmarks; understand the use of surface anatomy in surgery, physiotherapy and medicine. This module is used as foundation for students taking higher level modules in the medical technology and biomedical sciences track. They are able to use the information from this module and apply them in modules such as Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Histopathology and Medical Microbiology, Cell Cycle & Oncology, Proteomics, Genomics and Structural Biology. This module helps the students to make better comparisons between normal human body functions and the pathological scenarios found in other modules. After completing the module the students will be able to 1. The students will be able to appreciate the complexity and order of "design" in living systems. 2. Have a basic understanding of how the organ systems are coordinated for the maintenance of homeostasis and work together as an integrated whole. 3. The students would have acquired a basic and broad understanding of the structures and functions of the components of each of the following systems in the human body: nervous, sensory, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary.
