Applied Anatomy, Physiology and Biophysics 3Laajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

The student understands the anatomy and function of the digestive system, metabolia, inner organs and the neural system. The student knows the implications of physiology of metabolia, sleep and pain on well-being.

The student understands the source of bioelectrical signals and biophysics of the nervous system. The student identifies the sources of biometric signals and the process of capturing, -processing, -presentation and applied use of the information.

The student gains experience in neuro- and sensorphysiological measurements and the function and operation of measurement devices. The student can design and construct a simple physiological measuring device.
