The learner will get the Human Anatomy and Physiology course content on our dedicated website where the structure will be in the PDF format (e-book). To make this Human Anatomy and Physiology course more accessible for you, we have designed it for both part-time and full-time students. Human Anatomy and Physiology course is packed into the bite-size module for your convenience. You can study at your own pace or become accredited within hours!

If you require support, our experienced tutors are always available to help you throughout the comprehensive syllabus of this Human Anatomy and Physiology course and answer all your queries through email.

Human Anatomy and Physiology course will provide you with the principles of genetics and gain an understanding of how traits are passed from one generation to the next. You’ll explore how the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to provide our bodies with the oxygen our tissues need, and how they work together with the skin and kidneys to rid our bodies of wastes. You will learn how our bodies fight off diseases, and how our digestive system converts the food we eat into energy and the tissues of our bodies. You’ll also learn about the endocrine system, which supplies the hormones we need for our survival, and the reproductive system, that group of organs that allows life to be passed on to another generation. Finally, you will have a greater appreciation and understanding of the marvellous complexity of the human body.

Learning Objectives

The primary learning objectives of the Human Anatomy and Physiology course are to:

  • Give a comprehensive overview of human anatomy and physiology of human body systems.
  • Provide a strong understanding of the surprising ways that the human body works.
  • Describe the functions of human life, including the requirements for human life.
  • Help you understand how a human body carries out essential functions enabling to move, think, feel, and live.
  • Explain how all parts of the human body contribute to the preservation of homeostasis.
  • Help you familiarise with anatomical terminology and underlying anatomical structures.
  • Teach you how to identify the anatomical structures of the human body.
  • Discuss both organic and inorganic compounds essential to human functioning.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
