- Description
-
The goal of this course is to examine the human body on both a microscopic and macroscopic scale. The structure and form of the human body (anatomy) will be examined, but emphasis is placed on the integrated functioning parts and how these parts adjust to changing environmental conditions and biological needs (physiology). This is a college preparatory course, which involves biology, chemistry, and physics. Students will be asked to think critically, learn medical terms, and answer and discuss actual clinical cases. There is also a strong laboratory component to this course that involves microscopic analysis, as well as a number of dissections. Students will also be introduced to many health related topics that will help them monitor their own physical and mental well-being throughout their lives. This course will be of particular interest to those who are interested in a health science career. Semester 1 will focus primarily on homeostasis, cellular structure and function, the nervous system, and the skeletal system. Semester 2 will cover the muscular system, integumentary system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, reproductive system, human diseases, and addictions.
