Introduction
The course covers basic knowledge about anatomy, physiology and histology. Key aspects are knowledge about and understanding of the connection between the structure and function of different tissues and organs and the most important mechanisms for regulating biological functions. Basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and histology is a prerequisite for understanding disease and how it can affect analysis results.
Required preliminary courses
The student must have been admitted to the study programme.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge and skills:
Knowledge
The student
-
can describe how cells, tissues, organs and organ systems are built up and function
-
has knowledge of human anatomy and physiology key to biomedical laboratory work
-
has knowledge of the connection between the cells and tissues’ structure and function
-
has knowledge of the cells’ structure and function in relation to biomedical analysis
-
can explain various blood sampling technique and is familiar with pre-analytical conditions that are essential for obtaining a correct analysis result
-
is familiar with basic medical terminology
-
can explain the main characteristics of the immune system and the different functions of immune cells
Skills
The student
-
can recognise and describe cells and tissues from different tissue and organs by microscopic examination
-
can perform simple physiological investigations
-
can take blood samples from fellow students in accordance with applicable guidelines
Content
The course consists of the following subject areas, specified below as the number of credits:
-
Anatomy and physiology 8.5 credits
-
Normal histology 0.5 credits
-
Immunology 1 credit
Teaching and learning methods
Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, assignments and laboratory work.
Digital learning resources are used in the course in the form of video lectures, digital tests and practical exercises. Laboratory training puts the course in a biomedical context.
Course requirements
In order to be permitted to take the exam, the following must have been approved:
-
a minimum of 90 per cent attendance in laboratory teaching
-
a minimum of 80 per cent attendance in scheduled group work and seminars
-
three (3) individual digital tests
Assessment
Supervised individual written multiple choice exam, 3 hours
Permitted exam materials and equipment
No aids are permitted.
Grading scale
Grade scale A–F
Examiners
An external examiner takes part in preparing the exam questions and assessment criteria and assesses a minimum of 20% of the papers together with an internal examiner. All answer papers are assessed by one internal examiner. The external examiner’s assessment shall benefit all students.
