Objectives

This course provides essential knowledge of the structure and function of the human body, including the structure and function of the bones and joints, required by the radiographer.

After completing the course, the student:
• can use the main scientific names and terms of human anatomy and physiology
• knows the main features of the structure of organs and organ systems
• is aware of how the human body functions and is able to apply that knowledge in radiography and radiotherapy
• knows the anatomy of the skeleton and joints and is able to explain their structure and function
• can name the human bones and joints from x-ray images
• knows the structure and function of the nervous system

Content

• the main scientific names and terms of human anatomy and physiology
• the heart, the circulatory system, the digestive system, the respiratory system and the internal organs
• the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system (bones, joints)
• the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous system
• palpation practice

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

• can describe the functional parts of the human body and meanings of them
• can name some anatomical targets of the human musculoskeletal system and can use the main terms of physiology
• can partly describe the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous system

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

• can describe the structure of organs and organ systems
• can describe how the human body functions
• can name anatomical targets of the human musculoskeletal system and can use the main terms of physiology
• can describe the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous system

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

• can describe the structure of organs and organ systems versatilely
• can versatilely describe how the human body functions
• can name the anatomical targets of the human musculoskeletal system (including the small structures) and can use the main terms of physiology
• can describe the structure and function of the central and peripheral
nervous system versatilely
