BIOB1200 Anatomy and Physiology Course description

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. The course includes a three days’ external practical training at an outpatient clinic, where students will draw blood samples from patients.

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.

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
• is familiar with the relevant procedures for collection of blood samples from adults and children

Skills

The student

• can recognise and describe cells and tissues from different tissue and organs by microscopic examination
• can perform simple physiological investigations
• can master capillary and venous blood sample collection of adults under supervision and according to the applicable procedure

Kunnskap

Studentene:

• kan forskjellen på vitenskapelig psykologi og allmenn psykologisk tenkning
• har kunnskap om grunnleggende psykologiske teorier, begreper og metoder av betydning for utøvelsen av sosialt arbeid
• har kunnskap om bruk av diagnoser og ulike forståelser av psykologiske fenomen
• har kunnskap om en ressursorientert tilnærming til brukere

Ferdigheter

Studentene kan:

• reflektere over og vurdere relevant anvendelse av psykologiske fagtermer
• utrede og analysere noen sosiale problemer med ulike psykologiske perspektiver
• skape muligheter for utvikling av brukeres ressurser

Generell kompetanse

Studentene:

• kan anvende relevante psykologiske fagtermer til å forstå og reflektere over kliniske eksempler

Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, assignments and laboratory work. Students take three days’ practical training at an outpatient clinic, including blood sample collection from patients. After practical training at the clinic, the students will present posters in groups. The posters are used for presenting relevant topics from practical training, such as the meeting with patients and preanalytical conditions.

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.

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
• a minimum of 90 per cent attendance in external practical training in an outpatient clinic
• poster presentation in a group

Supervised individual written multiple choice exam, 3 hours

No aids are permitted.

Emnet Innføring i psykologiske grunnbegreper består av utvalgte tema fra vitenskapelig psykologi. De ulike tema omhandler sentrale fagtermer og anerkjente teorier og metoder. Etter innføringskurset i psykologi vil studentene ha et læringsutbytte gjennom forståelse av en del psykologiske grunnbegreper og tenkemåter.

Ingen forkunnskapskrav.

Studentene har plenumsforelesninger i sentrale deler av pensum. Videre har de et oppgaveseminar. Studentene tilrådes tidlig å etablere kollokviegrupper da dette faget bl.a. fordrer resonnering omkring forståelse av terminologi.
