This engaging and comprehensive course is designed to provide a solid understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Throughout the course, students will explore the intricacies of various body systems, organs, tissues, and cells and develop a deep appreciation for the complexities of human anatomy. Students will practice using anatomical terminology through the study of each major body system, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, n\cademic skills. The course will end with presentations of the anatomy and physiology that make their chosen superhero’s powers possible.

Please Note: This course will involve the use of dissection materials and graphic representations of anatomical structures. Students will also be visiting a cadaver lab on the UW campus. Students and parents/guardians will be informed in advance, and alternative assignments will be provided for those who choose not to participate in the section activities. This course also includes wet labs, which require extra care for safety due to the presence of chemicals, animal specimens, and scalpels. On those days students will need to bring specific clothing for safety (long sleeves, long pants and close toed shoes.) More details will be provided to enrolled students.

This course requires the use of a laptop or similar device. The Robinson Center can provide a device if your student does not have access. You can learn more about Device Requests here.
