Honors Anatomy & Physiology

This course examines the structure and the function of human organ systems. Microscopic and macroscopic (gross) anatomy will be studied along with the physical and chemical processes that are responsible for the vital functions of the organs and organ systems. The course is challenging, intensive, lab-based, and will include several dissections. It is particularly well-suited for students who are considering a career in the biological or medical sciences. Students should excel in their analytical and critical thinking skills since extensive reading and strong independent study skills are required for successful completion of this course. Department chair approval is required. (Note that Senior science elective offerings vary from year to year based on student interest.)
