Anatomy & Physiology – Wednesday – Fall 2023 and Winter 2024 – 20 Weeks – Grades 7 – 12

Anatomy and Physiology is a course that will enable students to develop an understanding of the relationships between the structures and functions of the human body. Students will also learn the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within the human body. This course will involve laboratory activities, projects, dissections, textbook material, models, diagrams, journal writings, and clinical studies.

Lectures and activities will emphasize topics related to human anatomy and physiology. Students will read journals/medical articles, participate in group discussion questions, complete labs/lab reports, and complete diagrams of body systems.

Goals:

Upon successful completion of Anatomy and Physiology students will be able to-

1.   Use appropriate terminology to discuss anatomy and physiology.

2.   Identify anatomical structures and describe the complex interrelationships between structure and function.

3.   Explain how body systems work together to maintain homeostasis.

4.   Propose evidence-based hypotheses to explain physiological responses or the functions of anatomical structures.

NOTE: This class must reach the minimum of five students by August 20th to run. If we do not reach this minimum, parents will be notified via email.
