Course Description
In this course, students will explore the structure and function of the human body. Systems of study include integumentary, digestive, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. In addition, students identify the main anatomical features of the body, review anatomical terminology, and diagram the structure of cells and tissues. They will also learn the function of cells, blood, and sensory organs, as well as study DNA, immunity, and metabolic systems.
This is an intensive course recommended for grades 10-12.
