Module description
This module deals with human body structure, function and their relationship. It is designed to enable students gain understanding of normal body structure and functioning of different organ systems of human body. Therefore it will become the basis for further study in the nursing profession.
Background and The purpose of the module
The purpose describes the direction and the goal of the module within the framework of Nursing /Midwifery education. Without the understanding of the functioning of the human, no link can be done with the pathologies and their care and support by the nurse and midwife.
