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
Content (course unit)
• Tissue types
• Structure and function of the body
• Main regulatory systems of the body
• Fundamentals of pathophysiology: etiology of diseases, disease alterations and healing
• Inflammatory reaction
• Basics of tumor pathology
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Further information
Anatomian, fysiologian ja patofysiologian kurssi sisältää lähiopetusta ja opiskelijan itsenäistä työtä. Kurssilla edetään Moodlessa julkaistavan aikataulusuunnitelman mukaisesti siten, että kullakin lähiopetustunnilla käydään läpi tietty, opiskelijan ennalta opiskelema aihealue. Opiskelija siis lukee valitsemastaan oppikirjasta tunnin aiheeseen liityvän osan etukäteen, ja tekee siihen liittyvät mahdolliset tehtävät. Tunnilla käydään läpi tehtävät ja aihepiiriin liittyvät ydinsisällöt.
