Human Anatomy & Physiology
This course covers the external and internal structures of the human body and the physical relationships among body parts. Each of the major body systems will be covered in detail as well as their relevance in the human body as a unit. Much attention will be given to the hierarchical relationships between the body’s systems and their functional maintenance of homeostasis. This course is designed to prepare students for college courses in the medical or health field, as well as those students simply interested in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Dissection is a required aspect of this course.
During the year you will be expected to not only memorize various anatomical parts and physiological processes but apply these concepts to novel situations. In order to do this we will be performing numerous dissections, acting out physiological processes, completing laboratory experiments, and examining case studies.
