COURSE STRUCTURE

There are 6 lessons as follows:

  1. Cells & Tissues
    Explains the human body at a microscopic level, including the structure and function of cells, tissues and membranes.
  2. The Skeleton
    Examines features of the human skeletal system.
  3. The Muscular System
    Describes the human muscular system, in terms of structure and basic function.
  4. The Nervous System
    Looks at the human nervous system, in terms of structure and basic functions.
  5. Digestion & Excretion
    Explains different physiological systems of digestion and excretion in the body.
  6. Physiological Systems
    Focuses on the different physiological systems of the body.

Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school\'s tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.

AIMS
  • To explain the human body at a microscopic level, including the structure and function of cells, tissues and membranes.

  • Dissect an animal heart (obtained from a butcher)
  • Observe different types of animal tissues (obtained from a butcher)
  • Prepare a summary explaining the function of the main types of human body tissues.
  • Explain, in your own words, different problems that can occur with different human tissues.
  • Explain cellular division (mitosis and meiosis)
  • Explain problems that can occur with different bones
  • Explain the purpose of different structural components of muscle tissue, in an human muscle
  • of your choice.
  • Explain the function of a typical nerve cell, using words and illustrations.
  • Explain the function of the central nervous system, using words and illustrations
  • Describe different physiological processes which occur in the digestive system.
  • Describe different physiological processes which occur in a properly functioning excretory system.
  • Broadly classify the effects of hormones
  • Explain different processes which occur in a properly functioning endocrine system.
  • Describe the anatomy of the lung
  • List the parts of the respiratory system
  • Define inspiration and expiration
  • Discuss the trachea
  • Explain processes that occur in a properly functioning respiratory system.
  • Draw and label diagrams of the parts of respiratory system
  • Research further information relevant to human anatomy and physiology, using resources available to you (which may be different for different students)

Successful completion of this course/module will enable you to understand basic human anatomy and physiology which is essential for health sciences. This course naturally progresses onto Anatomy II and Physiology II and is a pre-requisite for both.

This course provides an understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology for those who want to work in health, alternative medicine or fitness.

Lessons cover cells & tissues, the skeleton, the muscular system, the nervous system, digestion and excretion and physiological systems.
