This module forms part of the BSc (Hons) Rehabilitation Science programme at Keele University which is an innovative, integrated programme that prepares the graduate for further study or employment in health and social care settings. The module introduces the normal anatomy and physiology of the human neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and provides a basic introduction to movement science in these contexts.The programmes reflect the shifting emphasis away from increasing the quantity of care towards enhancing the quality of care, moving away from a medical disease model towards a health model based on personal responsibility and prevention of disease.
Aims
To introduce the normal anatomy and physiology of the human body, focusing on the neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. To provide a basic introduction to movement science in the healthy adult (neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems).To introduce terminology associated with movement science (neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems).
Intended Learning Outcomes
describe the anatomy and physiology of the human neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems;: 1,2,recognise and begin to analyse normal anatomical presentation and physiological function in the neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems utilising the principles of movement science;: 1,2,explain the relevance and role of physiological measurements (neurological, cardiovascular and respiratory systems).: 1,2,
30 tutor led hours which may include lectures, practical classes and workshops, seminars, tutorials and two hours of assessment preparation classes etc.120 hours of independent study.
