Anatomy
Human anatomy is an integral component in the education of future occupational therapists.
Endocrinology

The labs are designed to teach human anatomy to students in the health professions and its focuses on the structural and functional relationships of the human body and the language that describes these relationships. Occupational therapy practitioners utilize their knowledge of human anatomy to understand underlying anatomical dysfunction and how it impacts occupational performance.

The practice of anatomical dissection and/or prosection on human cadavers is an essential component of human anatomy training programmes. The act of dissection reduces complexity and gives a better understanding of gross anatomy integrated into structure and function.

Physiology
The purpose of the course for the students is to acquire knowledge in physiology, which is basic to the profession of occupational therapy.

The focus is especially on the muscle-, skeleton- and nerve system with an emphasis on the interaction of movement and cognitive functions in daily activities.

Studying of physiology also helps in understanding the mechanisms of injury or disease, and the potential long-term effects of exposure to certain hazards which helps in proper understanding of the body functions and mechanism of the body.
