ANATOMY II (HUMAN) BSC112

Learn about the structure of the Anatomy of the human body, through home studies.

  • An in depth foundation course 1st year college or university level
  • For anyone working in health, fitness, sport, health or wellness industries who wants to go beyond the basics that might be covered in introductory courses such as a fitness leader certificate or health assistant certificate.
  • Through a heightened understanding of anatomy, you understand the body in greater depth and improve your capacity to work in any of these industries.

Human anatomy is the study of structure and its relation to function in the human body. Topics covered include surface, regional, systemic, and radiographic anatomy, plus cytology. This course assumes a basic understanding of anatomy, and is an ideal follow on from Human Anatomy and Physiology BSC101.

HAVE YOU STUDIED HUMAN BIOLOGY BEFORE?    If not; you should consider our Introductory course first -click for details. This course is designed to be a natural progression, following on from that Human Biology IA course; or a course of study for someone who has a foundation in human biology from some similar course.

This course is ideal for:

  • Anyone wishing to work in health sciences
  • Anyone preparing for more advanced studies eg (Pre Med, or Pre Complimentary Medicine)

    NB: This course was developed as part of a Pre Med Diploma.  Whilst intended and used for first year training of doctors; it is also an ideal stepping stone to working in a range of other situations including health support and allied health, fitness, scientific support.
