BM3351 Anatomy and Human Physiology Syllabus:
BM3351 Anatomy and Human Physiology Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVE
To integrate the individual functions of all the cells and tissues and organs into functional whole, the human body.
Function is dependent on a structure, the curriculum lays stress on functional anatomy of the organs.
Emphasizes on the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary and nervous system and their interrelatedness.
Stimulate the students to understand the basic functioning of every system and the resultant unified organization.
UNIT I BASIC ELEMENTS OF HUMAN BODY
Cell – Cell Structure and organelles – Functions of each component in the cell. Cell membrane – transport across membrane – Action potential (Nernst, Goldman equation), Homeostasis. Tissue: Types, functions.
UNIT II SKELETAL AND MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Skeletal: Types of Bone and function – Physiology of Bone formation – Division of Skeleton -Types of joints and function – Types of cartilage and function. –Types of muscles – Structure and Properties of Skeletal Muscle- Changes during muscle contraction- Neuromuscular junction.
UNIT III CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Cardiovascular System: Structure – Conduction System of heart – Cardiac Cycle – Cardiac output. Blood: Composition – Functions – Haemostasis – Blood groups and typing. Blood Vessels – Structure and types – Blood pressure – Respiratory system: Parts of respiratory system – Respiratory physiology – Lung volumes and capacities – Gaseous exchange.
UNIT IV DIGESTIVE AND EXCRETORY SYSTEMS
Structure and functions of gastrointestinal system – secretory functions of the alimentary tract – digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract – structure of nephron – mechanism of urine formation – skin and sweat gland – temperature regulation.
UNIT V NERVOUS AND SENSORY SYSTEM
Structure and function of nervous tissue – Brain and spinal cord – Functions of CNS – Nerve conduction and synapse – Reflex action – Somatic and Autonomic Nervous system. Physiology of Vision, Hearing, Integumentary, Olfactory systems. Taste buds.
