People who would like to work in the health industry and become
massage therapists or beauty therapists for example, will need to
complete an anatomy and physiology course before they can qualify in
these areas. In other words, this course is a must for all beauty and
holistic courses and as a result, must be completed successfully. You
need to be aware of how the human body functions, be able to recognise
muscles and bones, know the structure and function of the various
hormones, glands and organs and know the relationship between each of
the body's systems The amount of work involved, coupled with the
difficult technical terms, makes this subject challenging to say the
least.
The anatomy and physiology syllabus is generally broken down into 12 systems including the skin, cells, skeletal, muscular, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, reproductive, digestive, respiratory and urinary systems. Occasionally there can be some confusion between body systems so it is important, when revising, to study each system separately. Always have a good study guide, one that contains a large amount of relevant sample questions, quizzes and puzzles. A structured revision plan is also vital as it ensures that you remain focused throughout your studies. Having these things will mean that you can prepare for your exams in the best possible way.
After several years of teaching anatomy and physiology, I have devised a study and revision plan that has been instrumental in the successes of students. I would recommend students to follow this plan as much as they can as it will increase your knowledge in a very short time.
First of all, before you start any revision, you need to have a good written plan in place. Have 3 columns, the first column will have the area that you need to learn, for example, long bones, the second column will have the date that you have to begin studying this area and the third column will have the completion date. Using an excel spreadsheet would be ideal for this. Once it is typed up, print it off and make sure you have it in a place that you will always be able to see it, for example, on the wall over your desk.
When you start studying an area, take a bundle, about 20 or 25, of multiple choice questions from your revision guide. I would recommend using multiple choice questions as this is the format that most examining bodies use for their exam papers. There is no room for error with these questions, you get 4 possible answers with each question and you can only choose one. Copy the questions out on a record card and take them everywhere with you. This means that you can take them out when you have any spare time throughout your day and learn them. At the end of that day, go over the questions and test yourself on what you have learned. If there are some questions that you are still unsure of, add these to your next bundle the following day and continue learning them. If you follow this system for 5 days, you will have learned up to 125 questions. That is an amazing achievement and one that will definitely give you the confidence you need to pass your anatomy and physiology exams.
Repeat this system as often as you can. This is an extremely effective way to increase your knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Studying like this for one month would mean that you could be able to answer 400 exam questions correctly, imagine that!
