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
