Syllabus

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the function of the human body. You will learn how each part of the body works, from the molecular up to the organismal level, and also how it develops, how it repairs itself, what happens when it malfunctions and how can it be medicated. We will explore the body using slides, a textbook, handouts, videos, homework and laboratory practices, in which you will collect your own measurements to discover aspects of body function. Besides its factual content, this course will help you to develop your ability of integrating concepts across disciplines, your team work skills and your body awareness.
