This course provides a comprehensive study of human anatomy and physiology, focusing on the structure and function of the human body. Nursing students will explore the relationships between body systems, homeostasis, and disease processes. Emphasis is placed on applying anatomical and physiological concepts to nursing practice.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
1. Describe the structure and function of the human body systems, including skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
2. Explain the principles of homeostasis and its relevance to human health and disease.
3. Identify and describe the relationships between body systems and their impact on overall health.
4. Apply anatomical and physiological concepts to nursing practice, including assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patient care.
5. Analyze the effects of disease and injury on body systems and develop strategies for prevention and management.
