ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 2 (Grades 11-12)
(SCI3035)        

This course is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology 1 so that students can delve further into the study of the human body. It is strongly recommended for students who have an interest in health science careers. Emphasis is placed on the systems of the body not studied in Anatomy and Physiology 1 such as the Muscular, Nervous, Digestive, Respiratory, Endocrine, Urinary, and Lymphatic. Somatic and special senses are also covered.  Laboratory work is a vital aspect of this course and the dissections help students gain a real life picture of the structure and function of organisms. Laboratory work will include various dissections and microscopic studies of tissues. Students will use appropriate methods for communicating verbally and in writing, the processes and results of anatomical investigations. Students will be encouraged to work cooperatively in laboratory situations and take an active role in their learning. Prerequisites: Anatomy and Physiology 1 and recommendation of teacher.
