adequate testing, anyone?

[percival]

So this diploma in Anatomy & Physiology I'll be taking?

I've just now checked the syllabus, and I've discovered that questions on the muscular system only count for 10% of the overall mark. (Pass mark is 60%). Equal importance is accorded to the endocrine system and the nervous system, each weighing in at 10%. The all-important respiratory system (increased oxygen intake through massage, anyone?) only counts for 6% of the overall mark, same as the digestive system, which is not only massively complex, but also at the root of many clients' problems, my own included (wise words about protein intake, awelkin: I do have far too few)).

It just ... weirds me out that apparently, you can become a MT without knowing your muscles well. We're not even supposed to learn origin and insertion of each muscle, i.e. where the muscle is attached at both ends.

Ok, I've already decided that I'm more or less going to skip the endocrine system. I've revised it several times, but there's no way I'm spending precious time I took off work learning all those hormones off by heart. I've focussed on the muscles like a madwoman, and it's finally all coming together. Another system I'm going to play by the ear is the urinary system. The reproductive system - well, I'll just rely on the extensive reading done in the past few years.

Onwards and upwards, as they say ...
