Unit 6 skillS What, where and how B eauty therapists study anatomy and physiology so that they can identify any problems and give the most effective treatment to their clients, such as appropriate skincare and cosmetic products or beneficial massage techniques. Anatomy and Physiology are branches of Biology that are strictly connected. Anatomy is about structure, physiology is about function: anatomy studies the form and composition of the body s parts, and physiology studies how those parts work together to support life. Macroscopic anatomy studies the structures of the body visible with the 3 Dr Ross, your salon s health advisor, wants to check how much you have learned about anatomy and physiology.

It includes cytology, the study of cells, and histology, the study of tissues. The anatomy of each body part determines what types of functions that part can perform. Physiology studies molecules, cells, organs, muscles and their chemical processes and functions. It centres on the body s tendency to maintain homeostasis, the internal balance in the body which allows organisms to remain healthy.

THE BODY skillS A complex structure T                     he human body is made up of many organ systems that work together to keep the body functioning. The integumentary system provides protection, acts as a sensory receptor, and regulates the body s temperature. The skeletal system provides the body s structure and protects internal organs. It works with the muscular system to allow body movement and stability. The nervous system is the control center of the body. It receives and interprets stimuli and transmits impulses to organs. The endocrine system includes glands that produce and secrete hormones to regulate body functions such as growth, development, and metabolism. The circulatory system pumps blood to and from the heart to supply oxygen to the body. The lymphatic system helps the body to fight pathogens and maintain its fluid balance. The respiratory system delivers oxygen to cells and eliminates carbon dioxide. The digestive system turns the food we eat into nutrients which our cells use to make energy. The urinary system filters out excess fluid and waste from the bloodstream and expels it. The reproductive system consists of either female or male sexual organs that aid in the process of reproduction. Massage can manipulate these systems to control stress levels, reduce pain, release muscular tension, improve digestion, stimulate circulation and sensory receptors, and provide flexibility. 5 A B C                 balance: equilibrio to deliver: portare development: sviluppo either   or: o   o to fight: combattere growth: crescita to supply: fornire to turn: traformare See who is the quickest at completing the  Organ System quiz . 1.
