Anatomy and Physiology (5cr)

Objective

- You understand the structure of the human body and the functions of its organ systems.
- You are able to apply theoretical knowledge in client‑centred promotion of physical activity and health, as well as in strengthening health‑enhancing exercise behaviour.
- You are able to describe, apply, and integrate key physiological and pathophysiological processes from the cellular level to the level of organ systems, as well as the regulation of these processes.
