Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

The core objective of the course is that the student learns the basics of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the human body.

After completion of the course the student:
• describes the different tissue types
• can explain the basic structure and function of organs and organ systems that are central for biomedical laboratory scientists
• describes the regulation mechanisms of body
• describes the main factors influencing the occurrence of diseases, alterations related to diseases and mechanisms of healing
• can explain the origin and progression of the inflammatory reaction
• can explain the principles of tumor formation, growth and spreading
