Aims

To explore human anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology in relation to paramedic practice.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Analyse the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular, nervous and respiratory systems.
2.
Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to a range of prehospital conditions.
3.
Analyse the factors that influence homeostasis.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Relationships between anatomical structure and function of body systems including: cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and endocrine. Pathophysiology of body systems including: cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and endocrine. Haemodynamics. Homeostatic imbalance. Feedback systems. Heat transfer and normal body temperature. Buffer systems. Fluid and electrolyte balance and imbalances.
Module Overview:
This module will explore human anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology in relation to paramedic practice.
Additional Information:This module provides the theoretical base for student's development of skills and competencies required for paramedic practice. It focuses on physical and life sciences exploring how these relate to human health and illness. The module will cover anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology including the interaction between systems in health, illness and injury.
