Usually taken after a comprehensive initial study of biology, Anatomy and Physiology presents the human body and biological systems in more detail. In order to understand the structure of the human body and its functions, students learn anatomical terminology, study cells and tissues, explore functional systems (skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, nervous, and so on), and may dissect mammals. Anatomy and Physiology is a pre-college seminar class that is built on academic rigor and prepares students for the challenge of a career in the medical field. The primary focus is on learning the gross anatomy and physiology of human organ systems with some comparative anatomy studies. To facilitate how systems function, students are immersed in learning histology and complex inner-workings of network physiology. Material will lead to pathology, disease, disease prevention and treatment. Microscope work, modeling, guest speakers, organ dissection, and human cadaver are requirements of the course. Students selected for this course bring motivation to achieve strong work ethic, exceptional study habits, and a rich desire to learn.
