In the present article, a veteran lecturer of human anatomy and physiology taught several sections of the laboratory component for the first time and shares his observations and analysis from this unique perspective. The article discusses a large-enrollment, content-heavy anatomy and physiology course in relationship to published studies on learning and student self-efficacy. Changes in the laboratory component that could increase student learning are proposed. The author also points out the need for research to assess whether selective curricular changes could increase the depth of understanding and retention of learned material.

Human anatomy and physiology course has a variety of interrelated or integrate concepts and causal relationship, so that the concepts easier to understand student learning process is done using a mind map. The role of the mind map is very important because it helps the students categorize the material in accordance with the idea that it is easier to understand. Mind map is a way of noting a fun, easy way to absorb and release information and new ideas. Mind map using sign or symbol which is equipped with a color. Signs or symbols that are used as well as color influence strengthening student understanding and memory. Each concept can be expressed with one word idea and visualized with a symbol or image. This research aims to improve student learning outcomes in Human Anatomy Physiology using mind map. This research is a classroom action research that begins with: 1) planning action, 2) implementation, 3) observation, 4) reflection. The results showed an increase in student learning outcomes. The first cycle, the average student learning outcomes is 66, 32. The second cycle, the average student learning outcomes 70,35 and increased again in third cycle to 76.79. Based on the results concluded that the use of mind mapping can improve learning outcomes of students in the subject of Human Physiology Anatomy.

This article is the first in a series that focuses on anatomy and physiology. Human anatomy, just like any other technical subject, has its own vocabulary. When learning anatomy for the first time, it can sometimes feel like you are learning a new language. This article provides the reader with an understanding of the language used when discussing various anatomical concepts. The healthcare assistant and assistant practitioner (HCA and AP) will need to understand anatomical terminology accurately, so as to provide care that is safe and effective. The article addresses roots, prefixes and suffixes, anatomical position, regional terms, directional terms, body planes and body cavities. Each article in the series ends with a glossary of terms helping readers understand some of the terminology that has been used. A series of ‘test yourself’ questions is also provided.
