Course learning outcomes
  1. Student can link between the tissue and organs structures, and their functions within the body (BET1A_W1_N, BET1A_W2_N).
  2. Student can describe the function of specific human body systems and how they interact with each other (BET1A_W1_N, BET1A_W2_N).
  3. Student can apply knowledge of cell structure and function, gross anatomy, physiology, histology, and the integument, muscular, skeletal and nervous systems for identification of various structures of human body and their functions (BET1A_W1_N, BET1A_W2_N).
  4. Student can choose proper electrnic equipment for measurement anatomical and physiological parameters (BET1A_U1_N).
Programme learning outcomes
