Líff3LL05 Human anatomy and physiology

The course deals with the biological functions of the human being. Amongst the topics are organisation of the body, tissues, bones, joints, muscles, nerves and cardiovascular system.
Students have to learn the latin words for bones, muscles and blood vessels. Each organ system is considered separately, comparing similar systems. Not only is healthy functioning dealt with but also the most common deviations. Some scientific issues considering human health are discussed ethically.
Students should be introduced to the subject matter in as diverse a manner as possible, e.g. through the use of information and communications technology as well as practical lessons.

The final grade is based on three exams (20% x3) and other projects and presentations (40%).
