Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry

Anatomy and Physiology Honors will introduce students to the anatomy, physiology and development of the human body. The course begins with an introduction to the human organism, approaching the human body in terms of overall layout: body plan, organization, and the systems that maintain life and regulation, or homeostasis. Next, various organ systems and their related processes will be discussed. Finally, students will explore disease, how it disrupts the natural flow of the body systems, and the best routes to health. Approximately 25 percent of class time will be spent in lab.
