Anatomy, Physiology, and Ageing (5 ECTS)

Learning outcomes

The Students
• identify the key structures and functions of the human body
• identify the key theories and explanation models of physical ageing
• identify changes in human physiological functions caused by natural physical ageing and are able to assess their effects on the functioning of an old person

Content
