(Didactic –150hrs + Practical / Laboratory –60hrs) TOTAL -210 HRS
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The focus of this course is an in-depth study and analysis of the regional and systemic organization of the body.
Emphasis is placed upon structure and function of human movement. A comprehensive study of human anatomy
with emphasis on the nervous, musculoskeletal and circulatory systems is incorporated. Introduction to general
anatomy lays the foundation of the course. Dissection and identification of structures in the cadaver supplemented
with the study of charts, models, prosected material and radiographs are utilized to identify anatomical landmarks
and configurations of the:

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
(Theory -150 hrs, Practical / Laboratory -50 hrs) TOTAL 200 hrs

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is designed to study the function of the human body at the molecular, cellular, tissue
and systems levels. The major underlying themes are; the mechanisms for promoting homeostasis,
cellular processes of the metabolism, membrane function and cellular signaling; the mechanisms
that match supply of nutrients to tissue demands at different activity levels; the mechanisms that
match the rate of excretion of waste products to their rate of production; the mechanisms that
defend the body against injury and promote healing.
These topics address the consideration of nervous and endocrine regulation of the cardiovascular,
hematopoietic, pulmonary, renal, gastro-intestinal and musculoskeletal systems including the
control of cellular metabolism. The course stresses on the integrative nature of physiological
responses in normal function and disease.
This course will serve as a pre-requisite/foundation for the further courses i.e. Exercise physiology
or Pathology
