MEDICAL DAY
Nutrition
In simple terms, nutrition is the provision of materials
necessary, in the form of food, to support life. Students
will learn about the food groups and how a poor diet can
have a bad impact on health, including deficiency diseases.
Anatomy
The branch of biology that studies the structure of living
things is called anatomy. Students will study human anatomy
so that they can learn more about their bodies. Some of the
topics covered would include the skeleton, muscles, tissue
nerves, the brain, heart, lungs, etc.
First Aid
Once defined as aid to sick and
wounded soldiers, students will study first aid in the
context of help provided by a novice to a sick or injured
person until more advanced medical treatment can be
accessed. Students will learn the basics of treating light
wounds such as cuts, splinters, bug bites, bruises,
etc.
