Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- Appropriately use anatomical and physiological terminology.
- Describe the principal structural features, functions, and locations of each component organ of the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal and reproductive systems.
- Locate surface landmarks relevant to medical imaging.
- Recognise major organs in each body region.

Syllabus

The subject will cover the following topics:
- Endocrine system: major endocrine glands and the effects of their hormones. - Circulatory system: blood; heart and vascular anatomy and physiology; cardiovascular regulation; lymphatic system organs and functions. - Respiratory system: respiratory tract anatomy; ventilation and oxygenation; respiratory regulation. - Digestive system: anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract and associated structures; physiology of digestion and absorption. - Renal system: anatomy of the urinary system; physiology of urine formation; fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. - Reproductive system: male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology.
