Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology II - Practical

BP208P :

Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology II (Practical)

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this course are to:

1. Provide foundational knowledge of the structure and functions of major organ systems of the human body.

2. Develop understanding of physiological mechanisms responsible for maintenance of homeostasis.

3. Explain the pathophysiology of diseases affecting different organ systems.

4. Explore causes of diseases and the body’s responses to pathological conditions.

5. Build a strong base for clinical learning through the study of functional and structural changes in disease states.

Course Outcomes (CO):

Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:

1. Explain the gross morphology, structures, and functions of various organs and organ systems of the human body.

2. Demonstrate basic emergency response procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

3. Describe the etiology and pathogenesis of selected disease states.

4. Identify signs and symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic methods, prevention, treatment strategies, and complications of diseases.

5. Understand coordinated working patterns of different organs of each system and perform experiments related to special senses and nervous system.

Detailed Syllabus:

List of practical

(Minimum of 12 experiments must be performed)

Practical HAPP allows the verification of physiological processes discussed in theory classes through experiments on living tissues, simulated videos, models, and charts.

2. Study of respiratory system using models.

3. Study of gastrointestinal system using models.

4. Study of reproductive system using models.

5. Demonstration of general neurological examination.

6. Demonstration of function of olfactory nerve.

7. Examination of different types of taste.

8. Demonstration of visual acuity.
