PRE-REQUISITES OF THE COURSE
No
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL PROGRAMME COMPONENT
Students have to learn "anatomy" of body systems in order to understand and realize physiological mechanisms better
COURSE DEFINITION
The student understand that composed of human body cell, tissue, organs and systems vital
relationships with each other, functions, working mechanisms and hormonal affecting and uses this
information in the process of patient care by integrating with vocational courses.
