Course content

This course will give an introduction to human anatomy and physiology by focusing on organ structure, function(s) and regulatory principles. The main subjects will cover: respiration, circulation, metabolism, endocrinology, neurology, senses, digestion, immunity, regulation of extracellular fluid and urine formation. The links between each of these systems will be discussed and how each of these systems respond to challenges such as disease and stress.

Learning outcome

On completion of the course the students should have good knowledge of general principles within human anatomy, physiology and regulatory mechanisms and apply this knowledge in a broader context to their own speciality.
To understand how the human body functions and how this information can be applied to specific careers, the student should obtain knowledge about:
• Human organ anatomy, physiology and regulatory mechanisms.
• How humans can cope with challenges such as disease and stress.
• Equipment and methods for studying human anatomy and physiology.
The student should apply, interpret and communicate this knowledge using their own ideas, which should result in the following skills:
• Operate relevant equipment and conduct experiments demonstrating human anatomy and physiology.
• Search for and effectively study the relevant literature.
• Analyse and interpret data to write a scientific report.
• Present and discuss orally and in writing anatomical and physiological data.
• Communicate information on human anatomy and physiology.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures: 52 hours.
Laboratory course: 10 hours, mandatory.
Exam arrangement: Written exam (50%), laboratory reports (40%) and mini-quizzes (10%).

Compulsory assignments

  • Miniquizes
  • Lab course

Further on evaluation

All assessment components included in the course must be passed. In the case of 'fail' or 'retake' , the final written examination needs to be taken again. Appeals for reassessment apply to the final written examination only. The individual components will not be graded and assessment consists of an overall final grade. The written exam can be changed to an oral exam in the semester when the course is not taught.
Please refer to these supplementary regulations UTF §5-6 at NTNU for information on re-sit examinations (oral and written) in science courses.
1. Final examination in each semester -for courses with prefix BI, IT and KJ a final examination is held during the examination period every semester.
2. New assessment incase of “fail” - please refer to the course description for details on which components of the course need to be retaken in case of re-assessment.


Specific conditions

Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
