Human Anatomy (1 tri)
Human Physiology (1 tri)
The Human A&P course will be split into 2 separate courses; Human Anatomy and Human Physiology. These courses can be taken independently. It is suggested that students take Human Anatomy before or with Human Physiology. More information will come to this website as the classes are designed.
Here are the course descriptions:
Human Anatomy (1 trimester) pre-reqs: biology; 11,12th grade course (10th grade students must have permission from their biology teacher after passing biology)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course presents a systemic approach to the study of the human body. Lecture presentation begins with an introduction of anatomical terminology and an overview of cellular processes and tissue classification. Students then learn the gross and microscopic anatomy of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and
reproductive. The laboratory component of the course generally parallels and reinforces lecture concepts through the use of models, histological slides, skeletal materials and dissection.
Human Physiology (1 trimester) pre-reqs: biology (recommend completing or taking concurrently Human Anatomy); 11,12th grade course (10th grade students must have permission from their biology teacher after passing biology)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Human Physiology course is best understood if taken after or with anatomy, but students can still be successful without the anatomy class. This course provides an understanding of how cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems function together to create one organism. Furthermore, the course lays the basis for understanding diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Lessons are presented in a cooperative learning format (Team-Based Learning), in combination with interactive lectures. Laboratories include normal lab experiments, presentations of clinical cases, practicing of clinical procedures, and debriefing of problem-solving skills.

Human A/P
Human Anatomy & Physiology is a class about the human body and how it works. Students learn the terminology, location, and function of 8 of the body systems. My goal is to help them understand how the body functions and what happens when the internal environment is disrupted using lecture, labs, research, projects, case studies, and technology.
