Description

The aim of this module is to introduce the student to the basic systems of the human body (in combination with Human Anatomy and Physiology II) and to provide a foundation for more specific studies in Physical Activity, Exercise Physiology, and Human Nutrition and Diet modules.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Have a good level of knowledge in the anatomical terminology appropriate to the areas of the Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory, Circulatory and Digestive systems 

2.

Have a good level of knowledge of the physiology of the Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory, Circulatory and Digestive systems 

3.

Demonstrate a range of laboratory skills and operate basic laboratory instruments used in physiological practical experimentation.

4.

Demonstrate an ability for autonomous, independent learning and be self-directed in terms of time, motivation and planning

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered full-time. This will include lectures and laboratory practicals augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes).

Module Assessment Strategies

This module is 65% CA and 35% Final Exam.  A mix of assessment methods will be used to evaluate a variety of learning styles.

The practical component (40%) is assessed by a mix of weekly write-ups and a short answer quiz containing questions that are in the laboratory manual.

Short Moodle quizzes on each topic (7), with unlimited attempts over a 2 week period, are used to encourage engagement with the topics, and provide feedback to the students on their own progress.  These are awarded 10% of the CA marks.

An MCQ (15%) takes place in the second half of the semester, and the Final Exam (35%) takes place at the end of the semester.

The student must reach an assigned gate (25%) in the final exam and achieve 40% overall to pass the subject.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat Continuous Assessment and/or Final Exam

Students will be asked to Repeat Attend if they fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement of 75% in practicals.

Indicative Syllabus

The theory and practical content summarised below address the  Learning Outcomes

 

The practical content, and additional resources on Moodle regarding the topics covered in theory, along with preparation for assessments and practical write-ups, address Learning Outcome 3 and 4.

 

Theory: Tissue Types, Circulatory system, Respiratory system, Digestive System, Skeletal System, Muscular System

Indicative Practicals

Examination of the structure of the Bovine heart, cell types, Blood Groups (ABO), pulmonary function
