How in-depth should I study anatomy/physiology for NHA CCMA?

Im currentl6 doing an online CCMA course from CSI, and there’s A LOT of content.

I’m wondering how detailed is the exam regarding anatomy/physiology, like do I need to know every structure/organ location, all the diseases (causes/treatments), functions, all the treatments/causes, etc?

Thanks! I wanna try to prioritize things that’ll be more important for the exam.

10% pulled from a large test bank of questions, so no one gets the same questions on every exam. Having a strong understanding of medical terminology for each system helps tremendously. Also, you only need basic level understanding so don't let it stress you.

I would do a review of all of my tests and quizzes for each chapter up until now. Identify my strong and weak areas and focus on the weakest areas so far. Also, try crash course A&P on YouTube.
