Course objectives
The aim of this course is to provide students with knowledge of human anatomy and physiology so that they can later use it as a basis for studying other disciplines. Students will learn about the macroscopic and microscopic structure of tissues and organs, including the basics of embryonic development, the functions of the healthy human organism from the cellular level to organ systems and the organism as a whole, and will be able to interpret morphological and functional relationships. Emphasis is placed on areas relevant to cosmetology - skin and skin derivatives, oral cavity and external genitalia.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
describe, using current anatomical nomenclature, the macroscopic and microscopic structure of tissues and organs;
assess the relationships between the different organ systems;
explain the relationships between the structure and function of organs;
interpret the physiological functions of the human body
Syllabus
  • LECTURES

  • - Prenatal development - basic characteristics of the embryonic and fetal periods. Physiology of pregnancy.
  • - Introduction to histology. Tissues and body fluids. Physiology of the internal environment and acid-base balance.
  • - The musculoskeletal system - osteology, arthrology and myology. Physiology of the musculoskeletal system.
  • - Respiratory system. Functional anatomy and physiology of respiration - principles of respiratory gas exchange, mechanics of respiration.
  • - Cardiovascular system. Physiology of the circulatory system - formation and conduction of impulse in the heart, basic principles of blood pressure regulation.
  • - Gastrointestinal system - anatomy of the digestive system with a focus on the oral cavity and its major organs (teeth, tongue, salivary glands). Physiology of digestion and absorption, metabolism of sugars, lipids and proteins. Physiology of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
  • - Erythropoietic and lymphatic system, spleen, thymus. Physiology of hematopoiesis. Haemostasis and haemocoagulation. Physiology of the immune system - non-specific and specific immune mechanisms.
