Anat & Phys Overview
Human Anatomy & Physiology – is the basic study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body systems. Laboratory activities form the nucleus of this course. (A fetal pig will be used as a dissection specimen.) Geared to college/technical college bound students. Gr. 11-12 Semester Prerequisite: “C” or better in Biology is recommended
