Unit/Course Overview
The purpose of this unit is to provide students with a basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology required to
recognise body systems and their components in the context of health care work.
The delivery of the unit will emphasise the practical application of the knowledge in a health service assistant
framework. Classes will involve lectures, body system review activities, teamwork in discussion groups and when
conducting practical demonstrations, location of specific surface anatomy on fellow class members. Working with
different members of the class will give exposure to a variety of body types. Students are encouraged to share
personal experiences.
Participation in class discussions is encouraged and enhances the learning experience for all members of the class.
