Aim:
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.
