BIOG 2020 - Human Development and Structure

(OPHLS-AG)

Fall. 2 credits. Student option grading.

Prerequisite: BIOG 1101. Offered in Qatar.

C. McVeigh.

This course will use a systems approach to study human structure, embedding medical terminology throughout. Each system will be examined in terms of early development, histology, functional anatomy, and evolutionary history. It will serve as a “sister course” to Physiology 1, and Physiology 2 so will be closely coordinated with them. Tutorials will be used to emphasize these connections and to introduce pathology. Systems covered will include: nervous system, endocrine system, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, reproductive system, and urinary system.

Outcome 1: Demonstrate a basic understanding of the development and structure of the different organ systems covered by this module.

Outcome 2: Demonstrate a basic understanding of histology, and be able to identify major tissue types.

Outcome 3: Explain the role of organ systems in the maintenance of health.

Outcome 4: Communicate these concepts clearly using the correct terminology, and express opinions and knowledge of the subject with clarity.
