Additional help

To help you in learning Human Biology the following tools can be borrowed/obtained:

• Molecular models: A set of color coded atoms such as the one used in the lecture videos can be borrowed from the Biomeolecular Photonics group.
• Virtual microscopy: Virtual microscope of the Dept. of Anatomy (link)

Requirements to complete this module

• Self study of the recommended textbook chapters. For this course we will use the 2nd edition of the OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology book. The textbook is available free of charge at https://openstax.org/details/books/anatomy-and-physiology-2e. A pdf of the book can be downloaded here.
• Self study of the online lectures
• Regular work on the exercises
• Successful participation in the written exam
