Title Explain the human respiratory system for beauty services

Level 5 Credits 2

Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to, in relation to beauty services applications, explain the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system and the factors influencing respiratory physiology.

Classification Beauty Services > Beauty Therapy

Available grade Achieved

Guidance information 1 As the content of this unit standard is largely informational, performance criteria

assume that knowledge will be acquired from reference texts, models, and other information-bearing media. No one textbook or other source of information is envisaged, as new approaches to the study of anatomy and physiology are published regularly.

2 All demonstrations of knowledge for assessment in this unit standard must be

evidenced with relation to the application to and use in the beauty services industry. 3 For the purposes of this unit standard, explain and explanation are to be interpreted

to include any form of visual and/or other aid, such as diagram, gesture, or model, that is used in addition to or in place of a verbal explanation.

4 In this unit standard, all ranges identify the minimum that is critical for assessment. A

wider scope may nevertheless be taught. 5 The focus of this unit standard is the anatomy and physiology of human systems that

are healthy and functioning properly. Diseases and disorders are included only where appropriate to the professional competence of a beauty practitioner.

Outcomes and performance criteria Outcome 1 Explain the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system.
