COURSE: PHYSIOLOGY LIFE SCIENCE
COURSE CODE: QLP1 PREREQUISITE: NONE
YEAR COURSE: 10 credits GRADES: 10, 11, 12 UC/CSU - Subject D
This course studies the most wondrous of all structures, the human body, and covers information about the body’s structures and their functioning. Work in the laboratory is stressed. Physiology will especially benefit students planning to enter the health fields, physical education, or biological sciences
COURSE: ANATOMY/PHYSIOLOGY HONORS LIFE SCIENCE
COURSE CODE: QLPJ
PREREQUISITE: Grade of “A” or “B” in Biology H OR an “A” in Biology CP and an “A” or “B” in previous CP or H English class. An entrance exam may be given in the spring if too many students apply. Teacher recommendation required.
This course covers the anatomy and physiology of the human body starting with a study of the tissues, then proceeding through the systems of the body. In addition to the standard format of physiology as described for Physiology P, this honors course includes some fairly unique experiences. Field trips are planned to view cadaver dissections. Visiting medical professionals share their expertise with the students using the cadavers and creative demonstrations. The exams are essays, coupled with multiple choice questions as well as lab practical exams. Laboratory studies are extensive and the write-ups are comprehensive.
