Grade Level: 11-12 Course #: 3092A Length: Full Year Credits: Two Diploma: Core 40, Academic Honors Prerequisite: Biology I
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding and working knowledge of the human body. It is emphasized that the student realizes the complexities and balances within the human system. Diseases of the human body are also discussed in association with the correlating human system. To accomplish this, the following systems are covered: First Semester: Organization of the Body, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System. Second Semester: Circulatory System, Digestive System, Respiratory System, Excretory System, Reproductive System.
