FYB1100 Anatomy and Physiology - I Course description

Physiotherapists use knowledge about the body’s structure (anatomy) and function in the performance of many tasks. The body is a functional unit, and structure and function affect each other in that a change in structure can lead to a change in function, and vice versa. Physiotherapists use this knowledge about the connection between structure and function when assessing muscle strength, for example. Reduced muscle strength can be caused by damage to /disease of the muscle tissue and nerve tissue, and the physiotherapist must be able to identify the structural cause. Knowledge about the connection between structure and function is therefore important to the work of physiotherapists, and the course emphasises theoretical knowledge about the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system.

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge and skills (learning outcomes marked with an asterisk (*) are assessed in connection with the coursework requirements):

Knowledge

The student can

• explain the structure of the human body’s musculoskeletal system and nervous system, and the relationship between them
• describe the connection between the structure and functional properties of the musculoskeletal system
• describe the connection between the structure and functional properties of the nervous system
• describe describe the structure and function of the sensory organs
• describe/identify underlying structure and projections on the surface of the body, and describe the procedure for palpation
• describe normal anatomical variation in the musculoskeletal system
• describe the transmission of nociceptive signals, modulation mechanisms and pain processing in the brain

Skills

The student can

• identify anatomical structures in the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system in anatomical specimens*
• apply Latin names and terminology for muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves, positions, directions of movement, axes and planes

The work and teaching methods include self-study, group work, seminars, lectures and practical skills training. Some of the lectures will be in English.

Emnet bygger videre på den praktisk-estetiske og teoretiske kompetansen studenten har tilegnet seg i Emne KDK1100: Idéutvikling og grunnleggende teknikker (30 stp), og gir en innføring i utstillingsproblematikk og kunstformidling. Refleksjon, presentasjon og kommunikasjon står sentralt i emnet. Det blir gjennomgående lagt vekt på forholdet mellom praksis og teori.

Prosjektarbeid er en vesentlig del av emnet. Emnet forutsetter stor grad av tilstedeværelse i verksteder og aktiv deltakelse i undervisningen. I studiet brukes det arbeidsformer som forelesninger, seminarer, veiledning og faglige debatter. Dette har til hensikt å utvikle studentens kunnskaper, idéer, praktiske ferdigheter, faglige forståelse og uttrykksevne. Det forventes at studenten selv innhenter relevant fagstoff utover pensum, og det oppfordres til å bruke læringssentrene og de ressursene som tilbys der. Felles presentasjoner og utstillinger vil danne grunnlag for drøfting og vurdering av studentarbeid.

1) Participation at the seminars is compulsory.

The minimum attendance requirement at the master's seminars is 80 per cent. To the extent possible, a student who exceeds the maximum limit for absence will be required to submit extra coursework to compensate for his/her absence. If this is not possible, the student must move down a year to the next year group.

2) The student must attend two hours of supervision in order to quality-assure their work on the project description.

The supervisor will evaluate the planned project, the project description and other important aspects of the master's thesis together with the student in the initial phase.

The coursework requirements must be met before the master's thesis can be submitted for assessment.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.
