This is an advanced two-semester course designed for students interested in an in-depth study of the human body. The structure and function of all body systems are covered through text reading, class discussion, computer simulations, teacher explanation, and laboratory experiences which will include dissection of mammalian organs. It is expected that all students participate fully in all activities, including dissection. Introduction to the course will include the chemical basis of life, the cell and its metabolism, and a tissue unit. The body systems taught will be: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, urinary, reproductive, digestive, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, and respiratory.
