Human Physiology & First Aid

(Practical)

CO23: Evaluate the effectiveness of blood pressure measurement, glucose estimation, first aid and types of bandages techniques based on medical standards.

CO24: Evaluate the microscopic structure of tissues and blood samples by comparing them to standard histological criteria.

CO25: Compile comprehensive practical records by accurately analysing physiological data and cultivate clear communication skills to effectively discuss findings with examiners.

CO26: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction

 

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion,
