Anatomy and Physiology in Medical Physics
Introduction to human anatomy and physiology for medical physics, surveying major organ systems and emphasizing quantitative concepts for biomedical imaging and measurement.
Summary
Lectures are small, with a median of 10 enrolled students in the recorded sections.
What you’ll be able to do
Demonstrate knowledge of human anatomy by identifying specific anatomical components of the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and lymphatic systems.
Identify and interpret anatomical structures in medical images by correctly labeling and describing anatomical components in X-ray and CT, ultrasound, and MR images.
Communicate complex concepts about human physiology clearly and effectively in written form, with emphasis on musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and lymphatic systems.
Solve quantitative problems related to human physiology, including calculations involving pressure, volume, and concentration; electrical potential, current, and resistance; flux, flow, and perfusion.
Apply principles of human anatomy and physiology to medical physics research, as demonstrated through a final written assignment.
