Description
This module is designed to build on concepts and principles established in Anatomy and Physiology I and investigates specific systemic processes and mechanisms. The perspective adopted is that the organism requires to supply and metabolise nutrients and excrete metabolic products for its individual survival and reproduce for species survival.
The learning outcomes covered in this module provide the learner with the underpinning knowledge of mammalian anatomy and physiology related to:
- the continued development of an anatomy and physiology vocabulary for use in the workplace
- the supply of nutrients to the cells
- the metabolism of nutrients for proper function and energy
- the removal of wastes from the body
- protection and defence mechanisms of mammals
- reproductive processes and the perpetuation of the species.

Range of Variables
This module is designed primarily for off-the-job delivery, although certain individual components of the module (ie. learning anatomy and physiology vocabulary, anatomical structure and function) are amenable to self-directed/self-paced learning at home or the workplace.
Anatomy and physiology requires strong visual delivery strategies. Anatomical models, slide sets, anatomy atlases, audio-visual learning programs and museum specimens are among some of the materials needed to assist learners develop a working knowledge of mammalian anatomy and physiology.
Visual mapping techniques such as ‘mindmaps’ and concept maps are a valuable aid in helping learners establish conceptual relationships.
This module covers the normal functional of mammalian body systems. This is not a module on pathology. Reference to structural abnormalities or disease processes should only be used for comparative purposes.
