Human Biology II (Bioenergetics, muscles and movements)
Enhance your career with more in depth knowledge of how and why the body moves.
Lay a foundation for further learning in areas of biomechanics, muscular fitness or physiotherapy.
There are 8 lessons in this course:
- How Nerves Work
- how nerves cause reactions in the human body.
- Nerves & Motor Skills
- how the nervous system affects motor skill performance
- Skeletal Muscle
- function and structure of skeletal muscle in the human body
- Muscle Organisation
- organisation of muscle tissue in the human body
- Muscular Movement
- mechanics of muscular movement
- Muscular Development
- development of muscular strength and muscular endurance.
- Muscle Flexibility
- selecting muscular flexibility exercises
- Muscles & Posture
- significance of muscles to posture and general well being.
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
Human Biology III (Cardio Respiratory Performance )
Cardiorespiratory Performance is an advanced biology course that requires students to have previous study in Anatomy and Physiology (BSC101 Human Biology 1A or equivalent). The course focuses on the physiology of the blood, heart, vasculature, lungs and airways. Students will gain insight into the vital processes that occur in the healthy cardiovasular and respiratory systems and the physiology, anatomy and biochemistry and basic physics driving these processes. Comparison between the resting and active states, as well as the impact of medical conditions and other factors on cardiorespiratory performance is made, and students will discover and investigate the regulation of this vital multi-organ system.
Topics include pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, gas laws, blood physiology, haemoglobin, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, cardiac output, electrocardiograms, oxygen utilisation and energy production, cardiac output, lung function and more.
There are 7 lessons in this course:
- The Science of Blood
- Blood Pressure
- Pulmonary Ventilation
- Gas Exchange & Transport
- Blood Flow & Gas Transport
- Cardio Respiratory Control
- Cardio Respiratory Disease
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
