Physiology ( Level Two-Diagnostic Radiology)

RAD 1102

Main learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course a student will be able:

- Identify and describe the anatomical parts of the bones of the skeletal system.

- Identify the important landmarks of the body and use them as a guide to produce diagnosable image.

- Identify the organs in each system of the body and the function of each organ or part.

- State the essential relationships of the body organs one to another.

- Relate the anatomical features of the organ studied to their physiological processes

- Identify the surface marking of the body andrelate them to the anatomical features below and above the appropriate vertebral levels.

Course Description

This course is designed to enable the students to recognize or identify the anatomical structures and functions of the whole human body especially those which can be seen in the x-ray image and their relation to each other. It is designed to extend the students knowledge of anatomy and physiology in those areas relevant to the practice of diagnostic radiography. In addition, the course is designed to provide the student with the basic principles of human physiology especially of the body organs which have relationship with radiographic technique.
