  CONTENT: Anatomy/Physiology is for college-bound students and will emphasize an in-depth study of human systems.  Anatomy deals with the structural background of various human systems, while physiology provides an understanding of biological processes by which systems work.  The course will emphasize practical laboratory experiments designed to acquaint students with each system’s function, and will include interpretation of scientific literature as well as using on-line database.  Major assignments include dissections of preserved specimens such as fetal pigs, cow eyes, sheep brains and hearts.  Because Anatomy/Physiology is a laboratory course, positive attendance and active participation is vital to meeting course objectives.
