(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 ofthe:

 Upper limb and thoracic region

 Lower limb, abdomen andpelvis
 Head andNeck
 Nervoussystem

 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
