Anatomy & Physiology

Description

This course is offered to 11th and 12th grade students, who have already studied Biology.
The course provides a comprehensive of human systems and processes. It is an excellent preparation for students considering a medical field, including nursing, nutrition, or fitness.

The themes are:
Structure and function of the body, and the connection between the two.
Homeostasis, the body’s natural tendency to maintain a stable internal environment.
Levels of Organization, the major levels of organization in the human organism from the chemical and cellular levels to the tissues, organs and organ systems.
