MIC1009: Human Body Systems I (Core: 3 credit hours)

Learning Outcomes
1. Describe the organization, structures and functions of different types of cells, skeletal,
muscular, nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
2. Describe the regulatory mechanisms of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular
and respiratory systems.
3. Relate knowledge in the human body structure and functions.

Course Synopsis

This course is an introduction to the cells, tissues and organisation of the human organs from an
integrative perspective. Students learn the structures and functions of the cells, tissues, skeletal,
nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and muscle function from the level of the cell to
the level of the organism. Students will also learn the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis
within the human body.
