Anatomy and Physiology 1 (5 cr)

Objective

Students are able to describe the structure and functioning of the musculoskeletal system using professional terminology and concepts.
Students are able to explain the importance of tissue in the structure and functioning of the musculoskeletal system. They can describe the layered structure of the human skin and the functions of each layer. Students are able to describe the structure of striated muscle tissue and explain the basic principles of muscular effort. Students can name the different body parts and the bones in the skeleton and describe the basic structure of the spine and explain how mobility in the various parts of the spine is determined. Students can identify the details of the bones in the lower limbs and describe the structure and functioning of joints in the lower limbs. They can identify and name the muscles in the lower limbs and know how to describe the movements they generate in each joint. Students can identify and locate the core structures of the musculoskeletal system using palpation and sonopalpation.

Content

• Basic anatomical concepts: body parts, anatomical levels and directions, axes of movement
• Types of connections between bones, basic structure of synovial joints and joint types
• Basic structure of striated muscle tissue, types of muscular effort, the functioning roles of muscles, open and closed kinetic chain
• Epithelial tissue, muscle tissue and connective tissues (bone, cartilage, connective tissue proper and adipose tissue)
• Skin
• Bones of the skeleton
• Basic structure of the spine and basics of spinal mobility
• Structure and functioning of the lower limbs: bones, joints and muscles
• Palpation in the identification and location of musculoskeletal structures
• Use of ultrasound imaging to support palpation
