Anatomy and Physiology Essentials

Understand the body. Master the basics. Think like a clinician.

This course builds the critical scientific foundations every paramedic and student healthcare professional needs. You’ll explore the major systems of the human body in an accessible, clinically relevant format designed to make complex topics click.

Through high-yield explanations, vivid diagrams, and scenario-based application, you’ll move beyond rote memorisation and start building real clinical understanding. Learn how anatomy links to function, how physiology maintains balance, and how it all breaks down in illness.

What you’ll cover:

• Core concepts: cellular structure, homeostasis, and control systems

• Cardiovascular system: structure, circulation, and cardiac function

• Respiratory system: ventilation, gas exchange, and control of breathing

• Nervous system: CNS, PNS, autonomic control, pain pathways

• Renal and urinary system: filtration, fluid balance, and waste removal

• Gastrointestinal system: digestion, absorption, and gut-brain axis

• Endocrine and reproductive systems (overview and hormonal integration)

By the end, you’ll:
✅ Understand how the body’s systems interconnect
✅ Explain the normal processes that underpin signs and symptoms
✅ Be ready to tackle pathophysiology and patient assessment with confidence
