Anatomy and Physiology 2Laajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The student
• can identify the details of the bones in the upper limbs and describe the structure and functioning of joints in the upper limbs
• can identify and name the muscles in the upper limbs and know how to describe the movements they generate in each joint
• is able to describe the structure of the thorax, the joints of the ribs and the special characteristics of the different parts of the spine
• is able to explain the location and basic functioning of the most important muscle groups in the torso and the neck area
• can identify the core structures of the musculoskeletal system using palpation
• can explain the composition and physiological importance of blood as well as the structure and core functions of the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system and the respiratory system
• can describe the basics of exercise physiology.
