Description

This installment of The Living Body Series® covers the Circulatory, Respiratory, and Digestive Systems, as well as Metabolism, the Endocrine System and finally the Urinary System. We will delve into the anatomical structures and physiologic function of these systems with just enough detail to be useful to the bodywork professional. These systems are not normally thought of as being within the purview of bodywork; however, we will discuss their pertinence to massage therapy at the end of each chapter.

All installments of The Living Body Series® are in the format of written text material with appropriate diagrams. Being well versed in this information will allow you to talk more confidently with your clients as well as with other health care professionals.

Practice questions at the end of each chapter will help you review the information and deepen your understanding of the material. These are for your use only and do not need to be submitted.

Each installment in The Living Body Series® comes with a 25-question, multiple-choice exam that must be returned for grading. Passing grade is 18 out of 25 (72%). If for some reason you do not pass, a copy of the questions you missed will be sent back to you. Upon successfully passing the exam, you will receive a Certificate of Completion, with all appropriate information included.
