Human Anatomy and Physiology is a comprehensive course for Grade 10 students in a Special Science School, offering an in-depth study of the human body’s structure and function. Focusing on organ systems, tissues, and cells, the course emphasizes how these components work together to maintain homeostasis. Students will explore key systems, including the integumentary, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and musculoskeletal, through lectures, laboratory work, and virtual simulations. The course develops critical and creative thinking through the analysis of physiological processes and model design, while fostering collaboration and design thinking through group experiments, case studies, and real-world problem-solving. By examining health issues, diseases, and treatments, students gain a strong foundation in biological science and essential skills for future studies and informed health decisions.
