Course Curriculum of the Anatomy and Physiology with Phlebotomy, Venipuncture for Nursing & Healthcare Assistants
Module 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
Gain an overview of the structure and function of the human body. This module introduces anatomical terms, levels of organisation, and the importance of homeostasis in healthcare. It forms the core of all studies in anatomy and physiology.
Module 2: The Chemical Basis of Life
Explore the building blocks of life such as atoms, molecules, and compounds. Learn how chemical processes sustain body functions, including metabolism and cellular respiration.
Module 3: Cells – The Basic Unit of Life
Understand cell structure, function, and reproduction. This module focuses on cellular components, types of cells, and how they interact in tissues and organ systems—fundamental topics in anatomy and physiology.
Module 4: The Skeletal System
Study the bones, joints, and cartilage that make up the skeleton. Learn about bone structure, development, functions, and how they support movement and protect vital organs.
Module 5: Muscular System
Discover how muscles contract, support movement, and maintain posture. This module covers muscle types, structure, and coordination with the skeletal system—key elements in applied anatomy and physiology.
Module 6: Nervous System
Explore the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Learn how the nervous system transmits signals, processes information, and controls voluntary and involuntary functions.
Module 7: The Endocrine System
Understand the role of hormones and glands. This module explains how the endocrine system regulates processes like growth, metabolism, and stress response.
Module 8: Cardiovascular System
Learn how the heart, blood, and blood vessels work together to transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste. This module also supports understanding for phlebotomy and venipuncture practices by integrating clinical relevance with anatomy and physiology principles.
Module 9: Respiratory System
Study how the lungs and airways enable gas exchange. Learn the processes involved in breathing, oxygen delivery, and carbon dioxide removal from the body.
Module 10: Digestive System and Nutrition
Examine how the body digests and absorbs nutrients. A comprehensive look at major digestive organs and their functions links directly to patient care and underpins knowledge of anatomy and physiology in everyday healthcare.
Module 11: Urinary System
Understand how the kidneys and urinary tract filter waste from the blood. Learn how this system helps regulate fluid balance, electrolytes, and blood pressure.
Module 12: Reproductive Systems
Explore the male and female reproductive systems, their structures, functions, and roles in human development and health.
Module 13: Integumentary System
Learn about the skin, hair, and nails. This module highlights how the integumentary system contributes to protection and sensory input, another vital area of study in anatomy and physiology.
Module 14: Principles of Genetics and Development
Understand basic genetics, heredity, and human development. This final module ties genetic principles to human structure and function, rounding out your understanding of anatomy and physiology across the human lifespan.
