Prerequisite: Teacher approval. A minimum grade of C in Algebra 1 is strongly recommend.
 

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY

Grades 10-12
Full year
 

This course is a second-year biology course designed to give further perspectives into areas of biology which were introduced in Biology I. 
The major areas of concentration include studies of cell origin, cell structures, cell processes, including reproduction and genetics. These areas are then used to further understand the facts and concepts related to the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Chemistry must be taken previously or concurrently.
