Competency 7: Joints
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to know the different kinds of joints by:
7.1 Defining a joint and describing how the structure of a joint determines its function.
7.2 Describing the structure of the different type of joints, and how their functions are related.
7.3 Explaining the effects of aging on joints.
Competency 8: The Muscular System
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to understand the muscular system by:
8.1 Describing the location, function(s), and characteristics of each type of muscle tissue: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal.
8.2 Explaining the major events that occur during muscle fiber contraction.
8.3 Describing the sources of ATP and oxygen necessary for muscle contraction.
8.4 Describing how exercise affects skeletal muscle.
Competency 9: Nervous Tissue
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to understand the basic structure of nervous tissue by:
9.1 Describing the basic components and general functions of the nervous …show more content…
10.5 Describing the general characteristics of the autonomic nervous system.
10.6 Describing the two general mechanisms of hormone action as they relate to neural transmission.
10.7 Explaining the relationship between the hypothalamus and the pituitary.
10.8 Describing the function(s) of the major endocrine glands.
10.9 Explaining how stress affects the nervous and endocrine systems.
Learning Outcomes
1. Communicate effectively using listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Students will be attending lectures once a week and they should be able to follow them and take their own class notes. Also they have to read from the textbook and other sources and extract the information they need. During the lectures the instructor will ask questions that the students will answer orally, developing their speaking skills. For answering the written tests that will be applied, the students have to develop also their reading skills. All the tests will be applied during 50 min, thus students will have to understand quickly the fundamentals of each question before answering it.
2. Solve problems using critical and creative thinking and scientific
