Study Tips & Exam Preparation

Expert tips to help you succeed in this course

1

Create detailed concept maps linking anatomical structures to their physiological functions, focusing on Modules 1 and 2.

2

Practice using anatomical terminology to describe movements and injuries in sports scenarios, referencing Unit 3 of Module 1.

3

Review the chemical composition of key biological molecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) and their roles in energy production, as covered in Module 2.

4

Focus on distinguishing between different tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscle, nerve) and their specific functions, using diagrams and examples from Module 3.

5

Develop mnemonics to remember the stages of cell division (mitosis and meiosis) and their significance in growth and repair, as covered in Unit 3 of Module 2.

6

Allocate specific study hours each week to review self-assessment exercises and address areas of weakness before the final examination.
