Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Basic skills from first and second academic year at LiTH.
Intended learning outcomes
The course will provide the student the possibility to acquire basic knowledge in the science of medicine, usable for a general understanding of the human anatomy and physiology. The course is preparatory for further studies in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics. After finishing the course, the student will independently be able to:
- Explain the human anatomy. The student must be able to describe how different parts of the body are compounded and to name the most important parts.
- Explain the human physiology. The student must be able to describe how the different parts of the body work, independently as well as in a context.
Course content
Medical terminology. Medical Ethics. The cellular level of organisation. Organ systems of the body: bone-, skeletal- and muscle tissue, nervous system, special senses, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, seminars and laboratory work.
