Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us
"Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us" is the next name on the list. The vital signs – heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration rate, and pain – convey vital information about the human body's physiological status. This course will look at the anatomy and physiology that underpins vital signs in this six-part course so that you can develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how the body works.
The cardiovascular and respiratory systems are discussed, followed by explanations of how the function of these systems affects vital signs. This course will talk about normal ranges, normal variants, and the mechanisms that underpin changes in objective vital sign measurements. Demonstrations of appropriate techniques for measuring vital signs in yourself and others are also included in the course. Those working in healthcare, those with an interest in personal health and fitness, those considering a career as a healthcare professional, lay caregivers, or anyone who simply wants to understand how the body functions will find the course particularly interesting.
