Anatomy and physiology:
- The students names human anatomical structures in english and latin but fails to use medical and nursing terminology in a consistent manner. Student recognizes main concepts of medical biochemistry but fails to discover the significance to cellular or organ function in detail. Student is able to classify the anatomical structures and basic physiology of organs and organ systems but is not able to conclude differences in normal and abnormal function in detail.
Anatomy and physiology:
- The students recognizes human anatomical structures and names them in english and in latin using understandable medical and nursing terminology. Students recognizes concepts of medical biochemistry and can reason the meaning of medical biochemistry in physiology. Student classifies human structures and functions from cellular level to organ level and is able to relate the normal anatomical structures and physiology from pathological structures and pathophysiology.
Anatomy and physiology:
- The students recognizes human anatomical structures and names them in english and in latin using appropriate medical and nursing terminology fluently. Student can reason the medical biochemistry and physiology from cellular components of the tissue to the level of organs and organ systems. The student correlates the differences in structure or function between normal and abnormal anatomy or physiology and estimates how pathological physiology affects patient well-being.
