Module overview
Studied via blended learning (online and in-person sessions), this standalone module provides a comprehensive overview of human anatomy and physiology, focusing on how the body achieves and maintains homeostasis. Ideal for topping up your degree to become a registered Biomedical Scientist or for advancing your professional development, it deepens your understanding of the structure and function of the human body in both health and disease.
The indicative content of the module includes the structure, function and control of the human body, covering major systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, urogenital, nervous and endocrine systems, as well as their interrelationships.
Objectives and outcomes
Provides an introduction to the basic structure and function of key systems in the human body and the physiological mechanisms that allow them to interact with each other.
On successful completion of this module you will be able to:
Describe and discuss the basic structure, organisation and function of homeostatic control mechanisms.
Evaluate and discuss the key concepts of human physiology.
Discuss and evaluate the structures and functions of key systems within the body and their relationship to each other.
Entry requirements
You must have a non-accredited undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences or an undergraduate degree in a related field (such as biology or biochemistry).
History
The Charter of the University outlines objectives appropriate to a technological university: "to advance, disseminate and apply learning and knowledge by teaching and research, for the benefit of industry and commerce and of the community generally.
And to enable students to obtain the advantage of a university education, and such teaching and research may include periods outside the University in industry or commerce or wherever the University considers proper for the best advancement of its objects."
The emphasis given to the placement year system, and the maintenance of strong links with industry and the local area, arise naturally from the institution’s history.
We are very aware of the important role we have to play in society, and we ensure that our students, staff, communities and business partners succeed to their full potential, regardless of background.
This is an online course which covers the Anatomy and Physiology required for Level 2 & Level 3 National Occupational Standards (NOS) for beauty, nails and holistic treatments.
The study of the human body is beneficial to many professions and it involves health professionals, and Aesthetic practitioners & beauticians.
You will also learn about the structure, function and pathologies of the human body systems including, the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary and reproductive system.
This qualification will enhance your knowledge and understanding of the organisation of the body, its structure, function and also the pathologies of the skin, hair and nails.
The VTCT Level 3 Award in Anatomical and Physiological Knowledge of Body Systems is a qualification that has been specifically designed to give you knowledge and understanding of the main systems of the body.
