Course Curriculum
| Nutrition in Humans – This topic focuses on the human digestive system, covering functions of various digestive system parts, the role of enzymes in digestion, the structure of a villus, and absorption. Examples include understanding peristalsis, the functions of amylase, maltase, protease, and lipase, and how the structure of a villus facilitates absorption. |
| Transport in Humans – This topic explores the main blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries, and their functions. It also covers the components of blood and their roles in transport and defense. Examples include understanding the structure and function of the heart, the significance of red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets, as well as discussing coronary heart disease and preventative measures. |
| Human Respiration – The topic covers the process of breathing, the structure of an alveolus for gaseous exchange, and aerobic and anaerobic respiration in human cells. Examples include understanding the process of breathing, the structure of an alveolus, and differentiating between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. |
| Excretion – This topic covers excretion, including ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption, factors affecting urine composition, and the importance of the kidneys. Examples include understanding the process of ultrafiltration, the concept of selective reabsorption, factors influencing urine composition, and the significance of the kidneys in maintaining homeostasis. |
| Infectious Diseases – This topic addresses organisms affecting human health, such as influenza and pneumococcal diseases. It covers the transmission and prevention of these diseases, as well as the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Examples include understanding how influenza and pneumococcus are transmitted, methods to reduce transmission, and the consequences of antibiotic misuse. |
