Honors Anatomy & Physiology I

This is a rigorous elective biological science course that consists of a detailed study of the anatomy of the human body and the functions of its systems. The biochemistry of each system is emphasized. Required laboratory applications include in-depth analysis of the various systems. This course may utilize animal dissection techniques as an instructional strategy. Students who conscientiously object to these exercises will participate in division-approved activities that provide comparable learning experiences. This course is designed for students who have an interest in entering a health-related field generally requiring a four-year college degree. Note: Students will not receive credit for both Biology II: Survey of Human Systems and Anatomy and Physiology I. This course is the equivalent of a college anatomy and physiology course. See Guidelines for Placement of Students in Honors/AP/Dual Enrolled Classes.
