HLTAAP001 Recognise healthy body systems
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to work with basic information about the human body and to recognise and promote ways to maintain healthy functioning of the body. This unit applies to any worker who needs to use and interpret information that includes references to client anatomy and physiology.
Skills must have been demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions. The following conditions must be met for this unit, use of suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:
• client health information
• modelling of industry operating conditions, including integration of problem solving activities.

14) Explain the interrelationship between major components of the body systems and other structures.
15) Complete the list below with information about the interrelations between two different body systems. The first one has been done for you.
- Cardiovascular: The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. It works in conjunction with the respiratory system to help move oxygen throughout the body.
Integumentary – The cardiovascular system controls sweat production. - Musculoskeletal: The musculoskeletal system incorporates two major systems: the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeleton asks as a frame for the body’s tissue and skin – the muscles make ambulation and movement possible.
Reproductive – - Endocrine: One of the major functions of the body’s systems is to keep the body in balance. The medical term that describes the processes used to regulate the body is homeostasis. One of the systems that play a major role in homeostasis is the endocrine system.
Respiratory – - Digestive: The digestive system breaks down food into energy and basic nutrients. The food is broken down into simple forms, such as glucose, amino acids, and protein. This converted food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and nutrients are carried to the cells throughout the body.
Urinary – - Respiratory: The respiratory system is responsible for ensuring the body has sufficient oxygen intake to oxygenate the blood and that it expels carbon dioxide.
Musculoskeletal – - Nervous: The nervous system is responsible for communicating information received by the senses to the brain. It is responsible for processing information and communicating required responses to the muscles and bones.
Immune – - Integumentary: The integumentary system is made up of the skin, glands, hair, and nails. This system plays a number of roles. The skin in particular acts as a barrier protecting internal organs helps make use of vitamin D and is a major organ that allows us to sense heat, cold, sharp surfaces, and other environmental factors.
Lymphatic –
16) Describe two ways that you can protect against the spread of infections.
17) When participating in passive physical activity, what parts of the body are working?
18) What does active physical activity contribute to a healthy body functioning?
19) How does knowing and sharing information about healthy body functioning enhance quality in activities by care workers?
HLTWHS002 Follow safe work practices for direct client care
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required for a worker to participate in safe work practices to ensure their own health and safety, and that of others in work environments that involve caring directly for clients. It has a focus on maintaining safety of the worker, the people being supported and other community members. This unit applies to all workers who require knowledge of workplace health and safety (WHS) to carry out their own work, in both centre-based and home-based service provision

Work Health and Safety Legislation and its impact in the workplace
In Australia, work health and safety legislation exists to keep people safe from injury (physical and psychological) at work. In 2012 the Commonwealth Government enacted the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 with the aim of bringing all Australian state and territory WHS/OHS legislation under the one overarching Work Health and Safety law. Most states and territories have since adopted Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) or harmonised their WHS/OHS legislation with this law. The exceptions are Western Australia and Victoria which still follow their own legislation.
Employers and employees must be aware of the particular legislation that applies to them in the state or territory in which they work. They should also be aware of the federal and state regulatory body which overseas and enforces WHS/OHS laws and regulation in their state. These can be found at Safe Work Australia web link:
