Course objectives
Upon completion of the course the students will: - Be able to describe and explain the morphology and physiology of the human body (skeletal, locomotor, cardiovascular, pulmonary and gastrointestinal systems), with an emphasis on the anatomy and physiology of the child, - Be able to identify the most common disorders in the structure and function of regulatory systems, and understand the implications of these disorders for the functioning of an individual, especially in childhood, - Be able to use the knowledge in educating children, – Understand specific needs of a child’s organism.
