Anatomy & Physiology
This is an elective, honors level lab course designed for seniors who have successfully completed coursework in biology, chemistry and physics. The course will examine both gross and microscopic anatomy of the human systems and the function of these systems. It will also cover biomechanics and biochemistry, particularly of the skeletal, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Disease and nutrition will be addressed, as will their effects on homeostasis and health. This lab-based course will include traditional labs in biology and chemistry but will also include computer-based labs, particularly in the realm of biomechanics.
