COURSE OUTLINE AND EXPECTED
OUTCOMES
• 90 Hours: 6 Credits
• Unit Purpose:
• This unit will equip the student with the necessary
knowledge to be able to differentiate the normal from the
abnormal structures of the human body. Students will be
introduced to practical experience which will provide an
opportunity for them to study at close range the body
structures and tissues.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of the unit students should be able to:
• Identify the anatomical landmarks of the human body
• Analyse the structural organization of the musculoskeletal
system.
• Analyse the structural organization of respiratory system
• Analyse the structural organization of the digestive system and
accessory organs
• Analyse the structural organization of the blood and
cardiovascular systems
• Analyse the structural organization of the urinary system
UNIT CONTENT
• Structural organization of the human body: human posture;
anatomical landmarks; structural organisation and location of
human organs and their relationships- head, neck, trunk, limbs,
muscles, bones, blood supply, nerve supply, skin and appendages.
• Body systems: musculoskeletal system- human skeleton, joints,
muscles, tendons; respiratory- upper and lower respiratory
systems; cardiovascular system-heart, blood, blood vessels;
lymphatic system; digestive system and accessory organs; Renal
system.
