Course Curriculum for Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body
Module 01: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
This module introduces the fundamental concepts of anatomy and physiology, explaining how structure and function are interrelated in the human body. Learners gain an overview of organ systems, levels of organisation, and their relevance to health, disease, and clinical education.
Module 02: The Skeletal System
This module explores skeletal structure, including bones, cartilage, joints, and ligaments. Learners understand bone development, support, protection, movement, mineral storage, and blood cell formation within the skeletal framework.
Module 03: Muscular System
This module examines muscle types, including skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. Learners explore muscle contraction mechanisms, movement coordination, posture maintenance, and the role of muscles in overall body function.
Module 04: Nervous System
This module introduces the nervous system as a communication and control network. Learners explore the central and peripheral nervous systems, nerve conduction, electrical signalling, and coordination of body responses.
Module 05: Cardiovascular System
This module examines heart anatomy, blood vessels, and circulation. Learners understand the cardiac cycle, blood flow pathways, blood pressure regulation, and cardiovascular system integration with other body systems.
Module 06: Respiratory System
This module examines respiratory anatomy and physiology. Learners explore lung structure, gas exchange, breathing mechanisms, and regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
Module 07: Digestive System
This module focuses on digestive physiology and nutrient absorption. Learners study the gastrointestinal tract, digestion processes, enzyme activity, and the role of nutrition in energy and health.
Module 08: Urinary System
This module explores kidney function and urine formation. Learners understand nephron structure, filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and the role of the urinary system in fluid and electrolyte balance.
Module 09: The Endocrine System
This module introduces endocrine regulation and hormone signalling. Learners study major endocrine glands, hormone functions, feedback mechanisms, and how the endocrine system maintains homeostasis.
Module 10: Reproductive System
This module introduces human reproductive anatomy and physiology. Learners explore hormonal regulation, gamete production, and the biological basis of reproduction and development.
Module 11: The Lymphatics and Immune Systems
This module focuses on the lymphatic system and explores innate and adaptive immunity. Learners explore lymph nodes, lymphatic drainage, and how the immune system protects the body from infection and disease.
Module 12: Integumentary System
This module examines the structure and function of the skin, hair, and nails. Learners understand protection, temperature regulation, sensation, and the integumentary system’s role in overall health.
Module 13: Special Senses
This module explores the organs and physiology of the special senses, including vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. Learners examine the structure and function of the eyes and ears, sensory receptors, and neural pathways involved in processing sensory information.
