Human Anatomy & Physiology Honors

Human Anatomy and Physiology Honors (0628) Credit 1.0

In this rigorous college-level course, students engage in a thorough study of the structure and function of the human body. The emphasis is on tissue organization and organ systems. Each of the body’s systems will be studied as time permits. A discussion of homeostatic imbalances (disease, disorders, etc.) is also included with each of the body’s systems. Students complete laboratory exercises including microscopy of tissues and

dissections. Dissections include mammalian specimens of the brain, eye, heart, lungs, kidneys and a culminating dissection of a fetal pig.

This course is intended as a foundational one for those considering health or life science careers.

Prerequisites: Must have earned an A in Biology A, B or better in Honors Biology or per special permission by the course instructor.
