Description: Honors human Anatomy & Physiology is designed for college-bound students who plan to enter careers that
require extensive knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. The course focuses on the structure and function of the
major body systems with emphasis on the interrelationships between these systems. Lab investigations will supplement
class lectures and will include dissections and computer probeware-based activities. Independent research projects and
scientific journal readings will enable in-depth study of course topics and allow for exploration of new medical research
and technologies. This course is directed towards students with a serious interest in the medical field and requires
significant study time outside of class for successful completion. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking
skills that will enhance the ability to correlate structure and function and better understand how the human body maintains
homeostasis.
