SYKK1110 Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry Course description

In the course anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, you will acquire knowledge about the body's anatomical structures, the structure of organs and their physiological processes. An understanding of the normal is necessary to be able to observe and assess the abnormal. The course forms the basis for the nurse's ability to observe clinical signs and deviations from them, and to understand the pathophysiology of various diseases and pharmacological treatment.

In the course, you will also learn about the lifestyle, virulence and mode of infection of microorganisms. You will also learn about the body's normal flora, antibiotic resistance, and prevention of infections.

This is important so that nurses can assess the consequences of illness or injury and understand the different needs of patients.

The course is taught in plenary lectures and students work on and discuss different assignments in groups and plenary sessions. Students are expected to play an active role in lectures and seminars. Students will also be required to discuss papers and course themes during lectures and seminars.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge

The student can

• name anatomical structures and organs in the human body
• describe where organs are located in relation to each other
• describe anatomical structure in terms of
  • macroanatomical: organs and organ systems
  • microanatomical: cells and tissues
• describe the function of different organs and organ systems in the body
• describe normal physiology in the various organs and organ systems
• describe regulation mechanisms and homoeostasis in a healthy body
• distinguish between the structure and characteristics of different types of microorganisms
• describe how different microorganisms influence health and disease
• can describe preventive measures to avoid antibiotic resistance

Skills

The student

• can disseminate basic knowledge of human anatomy and organ systems and of physiological and biochemical processes
• can convey knowledge about biochemical processes

General competence

The student

• recognises the importance of knowledge of the topic for practising professional nursing

A more detailed description of the academic depth and level of the different topics is given in the specification of content set out in a document posted on OsloMet's digital learning platform at the start of the programme.

Detailed learning outcomes and course content are prepared annually by NOKUT.

Written school exam (4;hours).;

The following aids are permitted:

• One dictionary (Native language-English/English-native language or English-English).
• Calculator (as specified in regulations for use of calculator).

Grade scale A-F.

An internal and an external examiner will grade the exam.

A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.
