This course is a bridge between high school Biology and college-level Anatomy and Physiology. It provides students with a solid foundation and understanding of the parts and functions of the human body at an upper high school academic and maturity level. Students will describe and explain all the body systems at their levels of organization, memorize the most significant structures of these systems, and apply their understanding to the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases. The high-quality virtual labs provide valuable insights, skills, and opportunities for scientific application of the various topics covered in class. The course also thoughtfully explores various controversies in medical ethics and medical practices. The content of the course is mature, and all topics are treated sensitively and respectfully from a biblical perspective.
Anatomy and Physiology
Description
Prerequisites
• Teacher approval based on review of Readiness Questionnaire
Notes and Conditions
Lab Activities: Lab exercises reinforce the concepts covered in the class and provide a hands-on learning experience with the course content. However, this course does not have sufficient lab work to fulfill the requirements of a high school "lab science."
Transcript Planning: This course is ideal for students considering college or career in nursing or other allied health fields, to prepare students for the challenging Anatomy and Physiology course(s) they will take in college. Students considering biological sciences, pre-medical, or pre-dental undergraduate majors should should consider TPS AP Biology.
