Further information

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY:
Content and content-specific goals:
-structure and function of the digestive system: The student knows the parts of the digestive system and their structure. The student can explain the breakdown, absorption, transport and storage of nutrients. The student knows the function of liver. The student understands, how the digestive system is regulated by the autonomic nervous system and hormones.

-structure and function of the urinary system, body fluid balance, acid-base balance: The student recognizes the parts of the urinary tract and knows their structure. The student is able to explain the function of the nephron and understands the significance of urinary excretion for fluid and electrolyte balance and pH.

-structure and function of the nervous system: the student knows the operation of the nerve cell. The student can explain what the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and the autonomous nervous system are. The student understands the significance of the nervous system, knows the anatomy of the brain and understands how the cerebrospinal fluid is formed and circulated.

-The skin is studied independently. The student knows the structure and importance of the skin in thermoregulation and maintaining fluid balance, as well as for physical and immunological defense of the body and as a sensory organ. The student knows the role of the skin in secretion and in the synthesis of vitamin D.
