Health sciences - Pamela Minett

Health Sciences provides the essential scientific background for a range of courses related to health and sports including GCSE and GNVQ. The full-colour, richly illustrated text includes material on human physiology, anatomy and development firmly placed in a medical and vocational context.

Complementary therapies are introduced and approaches to healthy living are discussed. Learning objectives, summaries of key information, questions and a detailed glossary activate the text and make this book particularly useful for self-supported study.

The text is organised around 9 major themes. Assignments appropriate for Key Skills are spread evenly throughout the themes.

1 The Human Body
2 Movement
3 Feeding and digestion
4 Breathing
5 Coordination
6 Reproduction
7 Health decisions
8 Population
9 The Human Environment
