Study Guide

Objective

Students will:

- understand the function of the nervous system and muscle control and the basics of movement mechanics
- understand the role of the nervous system in human functioning

Content

- Structure and function of the central nervous system
- Classification and regulation of movements
- Neuromuscular system and its functions

Materials

Sand, O & muut. 2015. Ihminen - Fysiologia ja anatomia. Sanoma Pro.
Hokkanen, M ja Vierimaa, H. 2019. Tuki- ja liikuntaelimistön anatomia - Opiskelukirja. Sanoma Pro.

Teaching methods

In the course, studying takes place in the form of tutorial work, lecture teaching and class assignments.

Student workload

The course is 2 cr equivalent to 54h, which consists of tutorial work, lectures and independently conducted online studies. (1 cr = 27h)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Students:

- can partly recognize the various parts of the nervous system and they are to some extent able to describe the main functions of these parts
- are to a limited extent familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Students:

- recognize the various parts of the nervous system and they are able to describe the main functions of these parts
- are familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Students:

- can list the various parts of the nervous system and are able to describe functions of these parts in detail
- are familiar with the function of the neuromuscular system and with the muscle contraction mechanism, and know how to apply the material learnt to professional practice
