[Faculty of Health and Nutrition] Expanding Learning Through Practical Classes! Introducing "Anatomy and Physiology Experiment I," a course undertaken by second-year students aiming to become registered dietitians.

The food we eat every day is digested and absorbed in our bodies, becoming energy to move our bodies and playing a vital role in supporting our health. To become a registered dietitian, it is essential to correctly understand how food affects the body and how it is used within the body.

The "Anatomy and Physiology Experiment I" course, taken in the second year, connects the desire to "support people's health through food" with the knowledge and practical experience necessary to become a registered dietitian.

In class, students will use microscopes to observe body tissues and measure the levels of cholesterol, glucose, and proteins such as albumin and globulin in serum extracted from blood. Furthermore, they will learn about the circulatory and respiratory systems, deepening their understanding of how the body works through experiments.

"That's something we learned in lectures!"
"The numbers have been confirmed!"

One of the appealing aspects of this class is how the knowledge you've learned transforms into a solid understanding as you make these discoveries one after another.

We will be holding an open campus event on Sunday, June 14th.

"What kind of experiments do you conduct at university?"
"What kind of work does a registered dietitian do?"

To help alleviate some of these questions, we offer introductions to the practical training rooms by our faculty members. You can also hear directly from current students about the atmosphere of classes and student life.

If you find this even slightly interesting or want to learn more, please feel free to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.
