Competency aims
The aim of the course is to create an understanding of the structure
of the human body and its healthy functioning, to understand the
chemical background for the functions of the human body, and to
give the skills needed to be able to recognize illness.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to:
-describe the structure of the human body and name the organs
in Swedish and in scientific terms
-understand and describe the functions of the different
organ systems; the musculoskeletal system, the circulatory
system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary
system, the reproductive system, the endocrine organs, the
nervous system, and the sense organs.
-know and understand the chemical processes taking place in
the human body that are relevant to his/her profession
