• Functional anatomy (seminar, 1 SWS)
• The basics of physiology for health professionals (lecture, 2 SWS)

Workload:

• 105 hours private studies
• 75 hours in-classroom work

Contents of teaching:

• Fundamentals of anatomy: location, structure, functions and modes of operation of all human organs and organ systems, including the different types of tissue
• Functional anatomy of certain organs and organ systems (musculoskeletal system, nervous system, cardiovascular and respiratory system) and familiarisation with initial pathologies on the specimen
• Fundamentals of physiology: location, structure, functions and modes of operation of all human organs and organ systems, including the different types of tissue
• Fundamentals of infectiology, microbiology and hygiene: types of pathogens, transmission routes, infectious diseases, evidence-based recommendations on prevention and infection protection including immunisation strategies, surveillance and monitoring, tasks of the Robert Koch Institute and other organisations

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students know and understand the position and structure of human organs and organ systems.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students know and understand the functions of human organs and organ systems.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: You have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the interaction between the position, structure and function of certain organ systems (e.g. musculoskeletal system, nervous system and cardiovascular and respiratory system).
• Broadening/deepening knowledge, use and transfer: Students can explain central concepts, theories, interventions and organisations of microbiology, hygiene and infection protection and transfer them to the requirements of hygienic work in nursing practice.
• Understanding of knowledge: Students can research evidence-based recommendations on hygiene and infection protection for healthcare and interpret them appropriately.
• Utilisation and transfer: Students can transfer their basic knowledge and understanding of developmental and cell biology to different organs/organ systems.
• Utilisation and transfer: Students can make initial connections between the structure, position and function of organs and organ systems and basic pathologies.
• Communication and cooperation: You can use technical terms in a targeted manner and communicate in a way that is appropriate for the target group.
