INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS
General Instructions
1. Review the course syllabus to guide you with your learning objectives and intended learning outcomes.
2. Quizzes, worksheets, and learning drills are designed to help you understand the topic, so please answer them to the best of
your ability.
3. Should you need clarifications on the topics that may fall beyond the class hours, please request a consultation with your
facilitators during their consultation hours.
ATTENDANCE

Self-Directed Learning Worksheet
At the end of this learning worksheet, the student should be able to:
Cognitive
ILO1: Apply concepts of neurophysiology in explaining higher cortical processes being performed by the person
1. Describe the primary motor, sensory, speech, and language areas of the cerebral cortex based on the physiologic functions.
2. Understand the role of the cerebral cortex in the control of voluntary motor, pain, temperature, and proprioception functions.
3. Explain the meaning of lateralization of hemisphere function.
4. Explain the similarities and differences between the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
5. Explain the role of the specific neural structures that regulate the following:
a. Language
b. Behavior
c. Mental functions
d. Visuospatial or perceptual functions
e. Learning
6. Explain the importance of corpus callosum by describing the effects of bisecting the cerebrum or separating the two cerebral
hemispheres.
7. Describe the functions of cerebellum.
8. Describe the pathway and sequence involved in hearing and speaking.
Affective
Demonstrate active listening, respectful communication, and assertiveness when expressing thoughts and ideas in both
verbal and written forms when participation in class discussions and different student activities for learning higher cortical
functions
1. Actively contribute relevant knowledge of physiologic processes to peers and to instructors during class discussion
2. Ask consistently relevant questions regarding physiologic concepts and their application to improve one’s health or to the PT
practice.
Responsibilities
Demonstrate self-directed learning, peer-teaching, self-assessment, and collaboration skills during student learning activities
by organizing system in the class
1. Perform self-directed learning by:
a. Use existing technology in all teaching-learning activities related to neuro- and organ system anatomy and physiology.
b. Answer consistently and sufficiently the learning drills and worksheets before the start of the class
2. Demonstrate meta-cognition as to integrity and professional responsibility, and cultural sensitivity towards peers and instructors
during classroom discussion
3. Demonstrate proficiency in verbal communication when explaining different physiologic mechanisms happening
on a normal human body during classroom teaching-learning activities.
In answering this worksheet, you need to read the following textbooks:
1. Seeley: Chapter 11; Chapter 14 (main) (VanPutte et al., 2020)
2. Tortora: Chapter 10 (Tortora & Derrickson, 2021)
3. Marieb: Chapter 6 (Marieb & Keller, 2022)
4. Guyton: Unit IX (Hall, 2016a) and Unit XI (Hall, 2016b)
