This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth study of human anatomy (structure) and physiology (function).  It is strongly recommended for students who have an interest in medicine, nursing, or other health careers.  Emphasis is placed on the systems of the body, tissue types, blood, the heart, bones, and muscles. Students will describe the systems and compare patterns found in anatomy.  Laboratory work will include various dissections and microscopic studies of tissues.  Students will use appropriate methods for communicating in verbally and in writing, the processes and results of anatomical investigations.  Students are encouraged to work cooperatively in laboratory situations and take an active role in their learning. Prerequisites: Minimum grade of a “B” in Chemistry and teacher recommendation.
